On Tuesday, Sept. 9, the Fleet Forward Tour lands in Somerset, New Jersey, for a free, one-day event that’s more than just another industry stop; it’s a critical moment for fleet professionals to connect, learn, and act.
Fleet Forward the Tour is built around three core themes: hands-on access to technology and EVs through the OEM Showcase and Ride & Drive, expert-led sessions on fleet electrification, operating costs, regulations, and compliance, and networking opportunities with peers, suppliers, and industry leaders.
With federal EV incentives set to sunset on Sept. 30, 2025, and new tariffs, regulations, and cost pressures transforming the landscape, this is a call to stay ahead of disruption.

In the fleet manager’s roundtable, leaders like Nancy Murray, Ted Chan, Wendy Kupper, and Charles Stevenson will cut through the noise to give you actionable insights to manage your fleet.
