The annual Merchants Fleet Summit convened in late September in Hooksett, N.H., to showcase the latest technological developments, stakeholders, thought leaders, and more to network, learn, and collaborate on the hottest push-button items in the fleet business—most notably, the opportunities and challenges of fleet electrification and EV infrastructure. The summit included global sponsors such as McLaren Racing, BrightDrop, Nissan, and Ford, and Merchants made a commitment to purchase renewable solar credits (RECs) matching the net electrical expenditure of the event.
