ACT Expo’s founder says the agenda “isn’t just a sustainability conversation anymore,” as the clean transportation show puts diesel efficiency first for May 2027 The post ACT Expo 2027 agenda leads with diesel and fleet costs appeared first on FreightWaves .
ACT Expo 2027 will kick off on May 17 with an agenda focused on reducing fleets' fuel and operating costs, starting with diesel technology. This marks a shift from the 2026 show, which highlighted digital and clean fleet technology. Record high on-highway diesel prices, averaging $6.529 per gallon in early September, prompted the programming change.
ACT Expo founder Erik Neandross emphasized that "this isn't just a sustainability conversation anymore; it's a business imperative." The updated agenda reflects the evolving fleet landscape and includes sessions on diesel and hybrid efficiency, aerodynamics, right-sizing, telematics, and AI-enabled fleet management. While electric, hybrid, hydrogen, and natural gas vehicles continue to be showcased, the focus is on the most suitable technologies for specific applications.
This year, more than 200 advanced commercial vehicles will be on display, replacing the 200+ low- and zero-emission vehicles from last year.
