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.
Keith Kerman is a Deputy Commissioner at the Department of Citywide Administrative Services (DCAS) and NYC’s first Chief Fleet Officer, serving 50 agencies including NYPD, FDNY, and DSNY. NYC operates the nation’s largest municipal fleet with over 28,000 fleet units, including over 1,000 medium- and heavy-duty electric trucks in active service. DCAS has a yearly expenditure of nearly $1 billion, and a staff of 1,800.
IIHS President David Harkey will share early findings from new testing of delivery vans, pickups, and work trucks — and what the data means for fleet safety decisions.
