Fleets Driving the New Transportation Paradigm

There is no industry changing as rapidly as transportation and, absent the certainty of omniscient experts, how is a fleet manager to make decisions about the fuels, vehicles and technologies available today? Hindsight shows us that fleet decision-makers, drawing on a combination of experience, informed guessing or policy compliance are best able to shed a light on tomorrow by focusing on today. Each of the twelve sessions features a fleet or fleets either in the alternative fuel decision-making process or currently using alternative fuels, vehicles and/or technologies.
