Focusing on Electrifying Medium and Heavy-Duty Fleets

This edition of the forum focuses on real-world examples from local organizations who have gone electric. Presentations will be aligned with the following topics:

Case studies about zero-emissions medium and heavy-duty fleets in waste management and transport: Data-driven insights from real, local stories about building and implementing zero-emission fleet roadmaps.

Plugging in to infrastructure for everyone: Updates on infrastructure projects such as charging hubs, integration with renewable power projects, and how public and private entities can work together.

Experience and Engagement

It’s not all talk, and it’s more than kicking tires. While the event features panel discussions and presentations, attendees can also engage with:

  • Facilitated discussions about key challenges in zero-emission fleet adoption.
  • A diverse range of display vehicles: on-road, off-road, medium and heavy-duty vehicles commonly found in fleets and operations.
  • Zero-emission equipment including mobile battery packs, landscaping equipment, electric cargo bikes and other battery powered solutions.
