The Fleet Forward: The Tour, an offshoot of the Fleet Forward Conference, is a one-day, regional event — free for fleet operators — where fleet managers can drive EVs and experience other new technologies. The day also features seminars, networking opportunities, and lunch.
“Fleet Forward: The Tour is a great opportunity for fleets of all types to kick the tires on EVs and understand the electrification market,” said Chris Brown, conference chair. “All in one day, fleet managers will be able to get behind the wheel of the latest EV models, interact with product experts, network with peers, and access education to make their fleets more efficient and productive.”
After the Phoenix stop, the Tour moves next to Atlanta on March 30, Chicago on June 7, metro New York on September 13, and in Dallas on October 3. The more extensive Fleet Forward Conference will return to Silicon Valley on November 8-10 at the Santa Clara Marriott.
