Highlighting ACT Expo’s fuel neutral attitude, this partnership focuses on giving out an electric drive agenda factor to prove how the industry is meeting growing charging infrastructure demand.

The Expo will showcase a wide range of hybrid, plug-in hybrid and fuel cell vehicle technologies, providing an exposure platform for EDTA’s members to reach global audience of public and private fleets, OEMs, engineers, policy makers and authorities.

Electric drive vehicles are helping to advance American energy security, environmental sustainability, and independence from a monopoly fuel, said, Brian Wynne, president, EDTA.

The Expo publicity within the EV market will promote awareness and benefits of electrified transportation to a broader audience, helping to connect with fleet operators at a single platform, added Wynne.

The Expo indicates a growing trend among alternative fuel industry associations collaborating with ACT Expo to advance the clean transportation market. The Propane Education & Research Council (PERC) has signed on as a third-time presenting sponsor. Further high-level industry cooperation will come out in coming weeks.
