ACT Expo Highlights 2022 State of Sustainable Fleets Market Brief

Wow, what a week! Close to 8,000 people attended ACT Expo 2022. This record-breaking turnout clearly shows that transportation stakeholders are more eager than ever to embrace advanced clean vehicle technologies and low-carbon fuels.

One key takeaway from this year's event is the 2022 State of Sustainable Fleets (SoSF) Market Brief. This eye-opening report confirms that fleets across every sector are increasingly turning to clean vehicles and fuels to meet sustainability goals and improve their bottom lines. Researchers indicate that increases in government funding and legislative support at both the state and federal levels are necessary to continue propelling the clean mobility revolution.

Boston Electrifies City Fleet to Achieve Green New Deal Goals

Boston is making great strides in achieving its "Green New Deal" goals by electrifying the city's vehicle fleet!

Last week, Mayor Michelle Wu shared that Boston Public Schools will soon launch an electric school bus pilot program. Twenty electric buses will be deployed during the 2022-2023 school year, with the goal of full fleet electrification by 2030.

Another neat initiative is Boston's new electric vehicle (EV) “train the trainer” program that is launching this May. It provides an educational pathway for people to learn how to professionally and safely maintain and service EVs, which in turn creates a highly qualified workforce for these high-paying jobs.

Voltrek would like to thank Bill Coughlin, Boston's director of fleet maintenance, for inviting our team to attend the event at Madison Park Technical Vocational High School where Mayor Wu made these announcements.
