At the NYC Fleet Show last week, the 28th of these the city has put on, it's as much a parade of sorts of New York's latest fleet trucks and other vehicles as it is a display of vendors showing off wares — much of them the kinds of items a city needs to buy for its diverse lineup.

Because of New York's initiatives and continued focus on alternative/sustainable fuels, though, the Fleet Show is also a place to find lots of alt fuel products and trucks, many of them part of NYC agency fleets. This year, a perfect spring day was a nice touch at pleasant Flushing Meadows in Queens, one of the city's most popular parks.

Aaron Marsh

Before computerization had fully taken hold and automotive work took someone who speaks engine, Aaron grew up in Upstate New York taking cars apart and fixing and rewiring them, keeping more than a few great jalopies (classics) on the road that probably didn't deserve to be. He spent a decade inside the Beltway covering Congress and the intricacies of the health care system before a stint in local New England news, picking up awards for both pen and camera.

He wrote about you-name-it, from transportation and law and the courts to events of all kinds and telecommunications, and landed in trucking when he joined FleetOwner in July 2015. Long an editorial leader, he was a keeper of knowledge at FleetOwner ready to dive in on the technical and the topical inside and all-around trucking—and still turned a wrench or two. Or three.

Aaron previously wrote for FleetOwner.
