“We’ve secured a large outdoor interactive space just outside the conference area to allow attendees to drive and ride along in these electric models. For many, it’ll be their first time,” said Chris Brown, conference chair. “This is a key part of the conference’s mission moving forward — to educate fleets on new technologies, not only in the conference’s educational agenda but also behind the wheel.” 

The list of participating manufacturers and vehicles is not final.
