NAFA Welcomes 900+ Fleet Leaders to Industry’s Largest Live Gathering in Two Years
Fleet professionals across the industry convened on Pittsburgh this week for NAFA’s 2021 I&E, in what has shaped up to be the largest live gathering of fleet professionals in nearly two years.
The event delivered three inspiring keynotes, 40+ educational sessions, and 50+ hours of learning. More than 150 exhibitors showcased new vehicles, products, technologies, and services — many of which were unveiled at I&E for the first time.
Hot topics this week included assessing your fleet’s readiness for EVs and total cost of adoption, case studies in telematics, driver safety and training, new-vehicle delivery forecasts from a panel of OEMs, right-sizing and right-typing your fleet, and the rising importance of corporate ESG (environmental, social, and governance) and how fleets should respond and prepare.
