The 2011 Green Fleet Conference Oct. 3-4 in Grapevine, Texas, saw a 15-percent increase in attendance over last year, with more than 550 fleet professionals present. The 4^thannual conference was the largest and best attended one yet, according to event organizers.

The conference consisted of two days of presentations and educational panel discussions about green fleet vehicles, strategies, technologies, experiences, and compliance issues. Tulsa, Okla., Mayor Dewey Bartlett gave a conference-opening speech, and keynote speakers for the conference were John Schaaf from Johnson Controls and Britta Gross from General Motors. Thirty-five vehicles were available for a ride-and-drive on the first day of the event, and the show floor allowed conference attendees to connect with key industry suppliers.

Awards announced at the show included the Sustainability All-Stars award, Government Green Fleet awards, and the Propane Hero award.
