VIDEO: Fleet Technology Expo (FTX) Ride & Drive Event Preview
Fleet Technology Expo Brings Back Largest Green Ride & Drive
This year’s Fleet Technology Expo is bringing back Green Fleet Conference’s Green Ride and Drive Event, offering attendees the chance to get behind the wheel of green vehicles from major manufacturers.


The largest Green Ride & Drive Event in the nation can be found this year at Fleet Technology Expo (formerly known as Green Fleet Conference and Expo), where attendees will have the opportunity to get behind the wheel of the latest alternative fuel vehicles from major automotive manufacturers.
In past years, vehicles from companies such as Ford, Honda, Hino, Mercedes Benz and Zenith Electric allowed attendees to see and experience vehicles with innovative green technologies and powertrains.
The Ride & Drive Event will have a fun, street-fair like atmosphere featuring food, contests, entertainment and more. In past years, attendees were given prizes for driving as many vehicles as they could, and were offered treats such as popcorn and snow cones.
The Green Ride & Drive Event is free to all Fleet Technology Expo attendees, including exhibit hall only pass holders. Vehicle manufacturers will be assigned a designated space at the event and maps will be available onsite. The manufacturers will have representatives on hand to answer questions.
Attendees are required to have a valid driver’s license and sign a waiver in order to test drive vehicles.
For more information on the Green Ride & Drive Event and all other activities at the conference, go to the Fleet Technology Expo Website.
