Fleet professionals will be able to learn and discuss real green technologies by separating facts from fiction, according to the organizers.

With operational costs and state and other regulations making it difficult for fleet managers to turn their fleets green, the Green Fleet Conference will focus on these and other challenges in an information-sharing program.

Current clean fuel technologies, green fleet vehicles and equipment, and green infrastructures will be compared and analyzed, and experts will share where and how to secure funding for these vehicles and technologies. The conference will also examine where the fleet industry is going in both the near and the long term.

Are You Tracking Your Fleet's True Total Cost of Ownership?

Bobit Business Media surveyed 190 fleet professionals and found that while most fleets are tracking costs, fragmented systems and data gaps are keeping true TCO visibility out of reach.
