Learn From Your Peers: How Fleet Leaders Identify Fleet-Ready Technologies to Avoid Risk When Deploying EVs
Time: 12:00 PM - 1:00 PM EST
Date: Wednesday, June 20, 2018
Instructor: Clay Siegert, Co-Founder and COO, XL Hybrids
To meet sustainability requirements, more and more fleets are seeking electrified vehicle solutions that are outside the OEM box, including aftermarket upfits and even vehicles from start-up OEMs. To avoid unnecessary risk when deploying electrified vehicles, fleet managers want fleet-ready technologies that are reliable, integrate seamlessly into fleet operations, and won't affect their OEM warranty. A panel of national fleet managers will explain what "fleet-ready" means to them, and how it reduces risk. Learn what options are available, and hear some best practices from fleets that have purchased tried-and-true OEM vehicles with electrified upfits that made their trucks, vans and shuttles more fuel efficient and cleaner, while leaving their OEM powertrain - engine, transmission, fuel system and exhaust system - completely intact.
