NACFE & FLEET ADVANTAGE WEBINAR - Navigating ALLOCATION & POWERTRAIN OPTIONS: DATA-DRIVEN TRUCK Procurement STRATEGY AHEAD OF UPCOMING REGULATIONS

Thursday, November 14th at 12:00PM EST - REGISTER NOW!

As of the morning of November 6th, our political landscape in our country has changed dramatically. It is now more important than ever to have the flexibility to respond to regulatory and other changes, and the agility to stay ahead of the market rather than reacting to it.

With the EPA 2027 NOX rule and California Air Resources Board (CARB) driving the shift to zero-emission trucks, and other states following suit, organizations with transportation fleets are facing pivotal procurement decisions. The EPA’s approval of California’s mandate requires 50% of all new heavy-duty truck sales to be zero-emission by 2035, with deadlines starting now. ACT Research predicts the largest truck Prebuy ever, starting in 2025, however, with OEMs announcing they are going into allocation, the Prebuy starts now! Additionally, supply chain disruptions and cost increases will result in rising diesel truck prices by $25,000–$30,000 per unit. Companies with transportation fleets understand the importance of transitioning to a greener footprint, but the problem most organizations may run into is taking a reactionary approach to their procurement cycle - which will further create problems in the supply chain availability.

North American Council for Freight Efficiency (NACFE) and Fleet Advantage will be hosting a webinar on Thursday, November 14th at 12:00 PM EST where Mike Roeth, Executive Director at NACFE, and Brian Antonellis, CTP, SVP of Fleet Operations at Fleet Advantage will explain what type of data-driven strategies should be adopted for asset acquisition and powertrain options during this challenging period, including a multi-year procurement plan, developing a roadmap aligning with OEM offerings and market trends, and scrutinizing performance data to optimize procurement strategies, as well as how organizations can leverage operating data to assess the viability of electric vehicles and develop roadmaps to bridge diesel technology with alternative fuels. Are you prepared for this shift? Don’t miss this opportunity to equip yourself with the knowledge and strategies needed to thrive in a changing market.
