09 Mayo 2024 - 12:53PM
The stage is set for the most anticipated annual gathering in the
commercial transportation industry as the organizers of the
Advanced Clean Transportation (ACT) Expo prepare for its largest
event to date. Set for May 20-23, 2024, at the Las Vegas Convention
Center, this year's ACT Expo will draw record-breaking attendance,
bringing together leading fleet operators, vehicle OEMs, technology
providers, utilities, public agencies and other important
stakeholders from across the globe to explore the trends, policies,
and technologies transforming the future of commercial
transportation.
“In spite of some recent mixed headlines, we see tremendous
forward momentum within the clean transportation industry,” noted
Erik Neandross, president of GNA, a TRC Company, the producers of
ACT Expo. “We have nearly 500 exhibitors this year,
showcasing more than 200 of the world’s most cutting-edge
technologies and other state-of-the-art fueling solutions.
The four-day agenda is packed from front to back with the world’s
