FARMINGTON HILLS, MI –The Green Truck Association (GTA) announced the formation of three technology councils to better represent specific segments within the green truck industry. Technology Councils operate under the GTA umbrella. GTA is an affiliate division of the NTEA, the association for the work truck industry.

GTA Technology Councils and their purposes:

Sustainable Integration Technology Council – advances the integration of, and resolves the technical communications for, upfitters of green technologies within the work truck industry.
Lightweight Materials Technology Council – brings together work truck professionals, technical experts and government representatives as a means to compile information about the development and usage of lightweight materials in the manufacture, specification, and operation of truck equipment and related accessories for fuel efficiency; vehicle “rightsizing”; carbon reduction; operational longevity; recycling; general mass-compounding; and increased payload.
Vehicle Electrification Technology Council (VETC) – explores potential efficiency and performance benefits of vehicle electrification, and provides a mechanism for identifying and promoting useful electrification technologies within the work truck market. To help facilitate increased adoption of work truck electrification technologies, the VETC facilitates education; works to remove road blocks; and resolves identified issues.

The Green Truck Association was established in 2010 in recognition of the growing interest and demand for green products within the work truck industry. The GTA is designed to help fleets, manufacturers, upfitters, government agencies and other industry stakeholders stay up-to-date with relevant regulatory and industry developments, while also helping to expand and improve the market for green truck applications.

Turning Connected Vehicle Data Into Decisions That Matter

Fleet leaders have more data than ever, but turning that data into clear, actionable decisions remains a challenge. This white paper shows how leading organizations are using connected vehicle data to improve safety, reduce costs, and optimize fleet performance. Learn how to turn insight into action across your fleet.

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. With rising pressure to control spend in an increasingly volatile environment, the gap between what fleets think they know and what the data actually shows is wider than you might expect. See how your peers are managing costs today and where the industry still has room to improve.

Hybrids: Electrification Without the Challenges

For fleet managers, fuel is one of the biggest line items in the budget — and it's one hybrids can shrink without changing how your people work. Download the eBook to see the numbers, understand the technology, and get a step-by-step guide to making the switch.
