Volvo to Feature XC40 Recharge at 2021 Fleet Forward Conference

The 2021 Fleet Forward Conference, convening in person at the Hayes Mansion in San Jose Nov. 10-12, announces Innovation in Motion — a new, interactive experience featuring EV ride and drives, technology displays, and autonomous vehicle demonstrations. Innovation in Motion will take place on Nov. 11 from 11:30 a.m. to 2 p.m.   

Conference attendees will be able to drive the all-electric Volvo XC40 Recharge and confer with a Volvo expert on features and capabilities. Volvo kicks off the growing list of automakers with electric models on hand to drive. Others will be announced soon, along with other demonstrations and displays. 

“We’re excited to get fleet managers behind the wheel of the Volvo XC40 Recharge,” said Erik Asplund, manager, commercial fleet and rental at Volvo Car USA. “When it comes to electric vehicles for fleets, there are plenty of benefits conveyed on paper. We feel the biggest motivator for fleets to adopt EVs is to experience them firsthand, and the Fleet Forward Conference will be a great opportunity.” 

“Where else can you touch and drive multiple EV models all in one place and get needed information directly from automakers’ experts?” asked Chris Brown, conference chair. “The 2021 Fleet Forward Conference, of course. Come join us.”
