Fleet managers continue to make advancements in their emissions reduction efforts by going all-electric and with other alternative fuels.

Preparing for Electric Vehicle Service will delve into how to prepare technicians to maintain and repair the EVs that will inevitably join their fleets.
In Michigan State Police: Vehicle Testing & EVs in Police Fleets, the MSP will talk about its famous pursuit vehicle testing program, as well as testing an electric patrol vehicle, including performance, range, and charging.
Fleet managers also continue to reduce emissions with other fuels, including compressed natural gas, biodiesel, and propane autogas.
In Today’s Clean Fuels & Technologies: Not Just Electric, fleet managers talk about how they’re using these alternative fuels to reduce emissions and reliance on oil.
GFX takes place May 23-26 in Detroit. It features more than 20 valuable educational sessions, an exciting expo floor with new vehicles and technology, an interactive ride-and-drive, a festive Honors Celebration for awards winners, an optional tour of the Ford Rouge Factory, and more.
