On Tuesday, Sept. 9, the Fleet Forward Tour lands in Somerset, New Jersey, for a free, one-day event that’s more than just another industry stop; it’s a critical moment for fleet professionals to connect, learn, and act.
Fleet Forward the Tour is built around three core themes: hands-on access to technology and EVs through the OEM Showcase and Ride & Drive, expert-led sessions on fleet electrification, operating costs, regulations, and compliance, and networking opportunities with peers, suppliers, and industry leaders.
With federal EV incentives set to sunset on Sept. 30, 2025, and new tariffs, regulations, and cost pressures transforming the landscape, this is a call to stay ahead of disruption.
Fleet managers will take home real-world solutions you can’t get from an article or a screen.
Who You’ll Meet
At the Fleet Forward Tour, you’ll sit down with experts like Keith Kerman — New York’s chief fleet officer — who’s scaled New York City’s massive EV fleet.
You’ll gain insights from Trip O’Neil of Holman and Robert Martines of CCM, who’ll break down how to tackle today’s expense challenges head-on.
Michael Taylor of HillStaffer will provide his insider’s expertise on the most pressing federal and state policy developments affecting fleet strategy today.
In the fleet manager’s roundtable, leaders like Nancy Murray, Ted Chan, Wendy Kupper, and Charles Stevenson will cut through the noise to give you actionable insights to manage your fleet.
Clean Cities and Calstart representatives will be on hand to demonstrate how to utilize grants and incentives before they expire.
OEM Showcase and Ride & Drive
From 10:00 to 11:30 a.m., attendees will step outside for a hands-on experience with the latest electric cars, trucks, and technology solutions. Fleet professionals will have the chance to talk directly with OEM representatives and test drive vehicles that are shaping the future of fleet.
