New Conference Takes Fleet Professionals Behind the Scenes of Going Green

ARTICLE TOOLS        | E-MailPrint RSS

TORRANCE, CA – Bobit Business Media, a leading business-to-business media company, recently announced a new two-day conference for fleet professionals, the Green Fleet Conference. It will be held at the Hyatt Regency Chicago on September 15-16, 2008.

The goal of this new conference is to present a forum for fleet professionals to learn and discuss real green technologies by separating facts from fiction. With gasoline and diesel prices hitting new records every week, going green is no longer just a trendy corporate goal.

However, the overall operational costs associated with developing and implementing an environmentally friendly fleet, together with all the state and other regulations, make it difficult for fleet managers to turn their fleets and facilities green.

The Green Fleet Conference will focus on these and other challenges in an information sharing program. Public and Commercial fleet management professionals will share real-world experience and practical, useful information that will enable fleet managers to go green without breaking the bank. Different clean fuel technologies, green fleet vehicles and equipment, and green infrastructures will be compared and analyzed, and experts will share where and how to get funding for these vehicles and technologies. The conference will also look at the future and discuss where the fleet industry is going in both the near term and the long term.

Online registration for the Green Fleet Conference is now open. Attendees who register before August 15 receive a $100 Early Bird Discount on the $595 conference pass.

Companies interested in sponsorship opportunities should contact Robert Brown at (248) 601-2005 or at robert.brown@bobit.com.

More information on the Green Fleet Conference, its speakers and sessions, in addition to registration and travel information can be found at www.greenfleetconference.com or by calling (800) 576-8788.

What Technician Shortage???

By Eric Bearly
It brings me great joy to be the one to break the news that the technician shortage crisis facing public sector fleets around the nation has been averted. If this comes as a surprise to you, let me explain how I used my well-honed skills in deductive reasoning to come to this conclusion.

Budget Constraints No. 1 Issue Facing Public Sector Fleets in 2009

By Mike Antich
Steep declines in tax revenues are resulting in budget cuts at all levels of government, which most likely will persist for the next 12 to 24 months. These budget shortfalls are particularly acute at general fund departments. Adjusting fleet budgets to cope with revenue shortfalls is emerging as the number one issue facing government fleets in 2009.
