Interested in adding zero-emissions vehicles (ZEVs) to your fleet in New Jersey but don’t know how to navigate the grant process? Join this Fleet Forward: the Tour seminar to help you act now, not miss a crucial deadline, or leave money on the table.

Fleets are under greater pressure than ever to lower their carbon footprints. To motivate ZEV sales in the U.S., fleets have access to substantial grants, rebates, and incentives to finance the initial startup cost of acquiring ZEVs and installing charging infrastructure by 15% to 90%. 

However, navigating the grant process can be complicated for the uninitiated, as qualifications depend on duty type, vehicle/weight class, fleet size, organization type, location, and more.

During this seminar, two experts can help attendees with questions such as: On what levels is grant information accessible? What rebates are stackable? 

Margaret Boelter, a policy analyst at Zeem Solutions, has a background in clean transportation incentives and policy. Throughout almost three years at Zeem Solutions, Boelter has managed incentive programs and grants worth millions of dollars and led transformative policy advocacy efforts. Her responsibilities at Zeem include policy work, government relations, grant management, and research.

Will Drier, a policy manager at the Electrification Coalition (EC), conducts research and analysis to help leaders create ambitious policy opportunities to advance the EV market. Before the EC, Drier was a consultant with Guidehouse Insights, leading the Commercial Transportation Electrification research suite and providing qualitative and quantitative market analysis and technical insights.

Fleet Forward: the Tour will convene a one-day event on Sept. 10 at the Delta Hotels Somerset, addressing infrastructure insights, solutions for fleet compliance, regulations, and more.

Held in conjunction with NAFA-the Fleet Management Association, the Sept. 10 tour stop agenda includes seminars, tabletop exhibits, networking, lunch, and a vehicle ride and drive. See who else is in the lineup so far and register for the event.

This year, the Tour consists of a West and East Coast event. The first stop convened in the Port of Los Angeles, CA, on June 12, and the second Tour stop will be in Somerset, N.J., on Sept. 10.
