On July 22 at the Irvine Marriott, Fleet Forward: The Tour will convene a one-day event addressing regulatory and incentive updates, automotive tariffs, and current fleet management concerns.
Held in conjunction with the NAFA Fleet Management Association (NAFA), the July 22 tour stop agenda includes seminars, tabletop exhibits, networking, lunch, and a vehicle ride and drive.
Fleets of all types — from corporate and commercial fleets to government and trucking — are encouraged to attend.
“Just when we had exited the pandemic supply disruptions, the continuing threat of tariffs and the uncertainty around emissions regulations is producing an even more turbulent year,” said Chris Brown, conference chair.
“This one-day event in Irvine will arm fleet operators with the knowledge to make better fleet planning decisions. And, it’s free.”
