The Ride & Drive Event will have a fun, street-fair like atmosphere featuring food, contests, entertainment and more. In past years, attendees were given prizes for driving as many vehicles as they could, and were offered treats such as popcorn and snow cones.

The Green Ride & Drive Event is free to all Fleet Technology Expo attendees, including exhibit hall only pass holders. Vehicle manufacturers will be assigned a designated space at the event and maps will be available onsite. The manufacturers will have representatives on hand to answer questions.

Attendees are required to have a valid driver’s license and sign a waiver in order to test drive vehicles.

For more information on the Green Ride & Drive Event and all other activities at the conference, go to the Fleet Technology Expo Website.
