Featured Presentation: The Path to Zero Emissions: Economic & Environmental Sustainability Solutions
Todd Mouw, Executive Vice President of Sales at ROUSH CleanTech, discusses your fleet’s fueling options. Is electric the ONLY choice? Will that technology work for your entire fleet? In this session, you will understand the questions you should be asking to figure out the best clean transportation solution for you. With more than 40,000 alternative fueled vehicles on the road today, Roush has experience with just about every fuel choice out there – CNG, hydrogen, propane, electric and more. Learn about which of your peers have adopted Roush alternative fuel vehicles into their fleet, the on-road vehicle testing results and which fuels can stand up to your fleets’ duty cycle.

Securing Funding for Alternative Fuel Vehicles: How Secure a Slice of Billions in Funding Available
Billions of dollars are available across more than 500 programs for fleets to install infrastructure and replace vehicles and equipment, and knowing where and how to start is half the battle. Grant funding can be complex to find, apply for, and ultimately secure. In this session, clean technology consulting firm GNA will provide an entry level review of how to find finding, what you need to apply, what you need to submit a successful proposal, and what you should be prepared for when you win.

Fleet-as-a-Service: The Future of EV Ownership
Electric Vehicle “As-a-Service” models remove barriers for fleet electrification, especially for small- and mid-sized fleets that often don’t have access to the upfront capital and technical expertise required to purchase EVs and install charging infrastructure. This innovative approach provides a “turnkey” EV for less than the cost of operating a gasoline or diesel vehicle. Fleets can operate a zero-emission vehicle and avoid the common challenges that typically delay electrification including prohibitively high vehicle cost, extended manufacturer’s delays and wait times, and expensive infrastructure upgrades. EV Fleet-as-a-Service provider Zeem Solutions is making this happen at their fully operational EV fleet depot located in Los Angeles and will share the real-world insights gained from building the largest commercial EV charging hub in the city and experiences of fleets operating out of their facility.

How to Increase revenue and decrease expenses by simply managing your CSA scores.
John Seidl will discuss ways to reduce all CSA scores in the short and long term. Reducing CSA scores will result in lower insurance premiums, lower maintenance costs due to less OOS inspections, and increased revenue with less Hours-of-Service OOS inspections. All of this while also reducing the likelihood of punitive damages on high profile lawsuits due to an apparent lack of safety culture, only seen through these elevated CSA scores.

Featured Presentation: Ecommerce & The Future of Freight
Today the transportation industry is at an inflection point, as several massive shifts bear down on it at once. The rise of e-commerce and consumer expectations has placed un-precented strain on global transportation networks and logistics providers. Retailers and manufacturers have shifted inventories closer to the customers developing new delivery ecosystems. Nearshoring efforts are underway across a significant number of industries as companies strive to shorten and bolster supply chains. These shifts have created a new distribution landscape, however it is challenging the financial and environmental sustainability for shippers and their transportation providers - Inventory and Logistics is on the Edge! Hear about these trends and what Deloitte’s recent survey of 305 transportation and manufacturing executives has to say about the Future of Freight.
