Organizers of the Advanced Clean Transportation Expo have announced the four-day event agenda for the 15th annual show, which will be held at the Anaheim Convention Center in California from April 28-May 1, 2025.
The 2025 ACT Expo agenda was designed to provide real-world, actionable intelligence to help fleets navigate the rapidly evolving landscape of commercial transportation technologies and policies. Through a series of keynote presentations, executive panels, and technical workshops, ACT Expo will spotlight how advanced transportation technologies can help fleets reduce operating costs and emissions, gain customers and increase brand reputation, improve efficiency, and gain other important economic and environmental benefits.
ACT Expo 2025 Agenda Highlights
- Digital workshop: Explore the rise of artificial intelligence in transportation as well as case studies on truck autonomy and the role of software-defined vehicles in reshaping fleet operations.
- Fleet C-suite panel: Fleets that have achieved a competitive edge by integrating advanced vehicle technologies and fuels will share their forward strategies to stay ahead in a changing market.
- The shifting policy landscape: Gain insight into how the federal administration change will impact commercial transportation policies and funding resources. Understand what regulators are enforcing and how fleets are designing their procurement plans amid possible policy changes.
- Sector-specific breakout sessions: These in-depth, information-packed workshops will rival the entire agenda of other conferences. Sessions will cover the successful integration of advanced vehicles in sectors like drayage, warehouse, municipal, refuse, school bus, transit, last mile, regional haul, construction, utility fleets, food and beverage, and ports.
- Success through diversification: Learn about the latest industry innovations and fleet successes in using renewable natural gas, renewable diesel, and other alternative fuels, and how fleets are working to integrate multiple solutions into their ever-changing portfolio.
- Show floor theater: A variety of presentations covering topics such as microgrids, hydrogen transport, lightweighting, tire management, mobile power solutions, and more.
- EV charging event: Learn how vehicle and charging manufacturers are accelerating a hardware shift, how it is impacting mass market adoption, and gain understanding of the multi-tenant EV charging depot movement.
- Hydrogen workshop: Gain the latest intel on the burgeoning hydrogen supply chain, including production pathways, infrastructure innovations, and investments that are driving efficiency and scaling the hydrogen economy. The workshop will also explore the growing market potential of hydrogen internal combustion engines, which offer long-range capabilities and faster refueling times compared to battery-electric vehicles and hydrogen fuel cell vehicles.
- Shipper-carrier connect: This session will explore how collaboration between shippers and carriers is driving freight decarbonization efforts, and thus, investments in lower carbon fuels and cleaner technologies.
- Utility workshop: Utility executives and regulators will spotlight their strategies to meet the growing capacity needs for commercial electric vehicles, including how they plan to balance competing demands, such as data centers and residential power needs.
- Innovation tech showcase: The latest breakthroughs in fleet technologies, including maintenance, vehicle electrification, next-gen lubricants, and more.

“As fleets enter 2025, there are more questions than ever about the state of the clean vehicle industry, which technologies are really working, how to achieve a positive TCO, and a whole lot more. ACT Expo is the place where fleets can cut through the chaos and gain clarity on the best technologies and strategies to improve operational efficiency, drive sustainability, and gain a competitive advantage,” said Erik Neandross, president, Clean Transportation Solutions at TRC, the producers of ACT Expo. “Our educational sessions are truly the best in the industry; we provide fleets with the tools to build a roadmap for the future that combines innovation with practical, real-world solutions and demonstrated expertise provided by other fleet operators."
Keynote speakers for ACT Expo 2025 will be announced in January 2025, with the full roster of speakers scheduled to be revealed in February.
