Test drive zero-emissions trucks at Oregon's ride and drive event on Sept. 29

You are invited to the Fleet Forward Electric Ride & Drive event on Tuesday, Sept. 29, at Portland International Raceway from 10am to 3pm.

Transitioning trucks and equipment away from diesel can help fleets reduce fuel costs and avoid experience with continuing high diesel prices. Zero-emissions vehicles also cut tailpipe pollution and help protect the health of drivers, workers and communities while keeping Oregon's air cleaner.

Drive your fleet forward and get behind the wheel of a lineup of zero-emission commercial vehicles, explore the latest technologies and features, and connect with industry experts to support your fleet electrification journey.

Whether you're a fleet manager, operator, maintenance professional, or an organization exploring fleet electrification, you'll gain hands-on experience and access valuable resources to support informed decisions for your fleet.

  • Test drive zero-emission medium and heavy-duty vehicles
  • Explore charging and other fleet technologies
  • Meet with industry experts to receive practical guidance tailored to your business or organization

  • Network with industry professionals and discover the latest fleet technologies
