Fleet Forward: The Tour is gearing up for its September stop in Somerset, New Jersey. 

Charged with overseeing the largest municipal EV fleet in the United States, Keith Kerman, NYC’s Chief Fleet Officer, will join Fleet Forward: The Tour to share insights from the street-level frontlines of fleet electrification.

In his seminar, “Beyond the Pilot Phase: What It Really Takes to Deploy Electric Trucks at Scale,” Kerman will discuss the challenges of deploying electric trucks, such as infrastructure, operational integration, and duty cycle performance.

This is a rare opportunity for fleet leaders to learn the ins and outs of electrification from one of the most experienced practitioners in the nation.
