ACT Expo 2026 Brings the Future of Fleet Technology to Las Vegas
North America’s leading commercial fleet show returns with an increased spotlight on autonomy, connected vehicles, and AI as part of the growing suite of advanced technology solutions
LAS VEGAS, NV, Sept. 24, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- ACT Expo, the largest fleet technology conference and expo, returns to the Las Vegas Convention Center from May 4–7, 2026. Now in its 16th year, ACT Expo is widely recognized as the most important annual fleet event of the year, drawing more than 12,000 attendees. With the industry’s most comprehensive assembly of “who’s who” in the commercial transportation sector, fleets can pack in four days of meetings with suppliers and peers, which would otherwise take months and multiple trips to accomplish. ACT Expo offers end-users the most current insight into the key technology trends driving the market today and in the years ahead, practical lessons from peers, direct access to every major OEM and industry supplier in the market, strategies to boost competitiveness and accelerate the use of high-tech and clean vehicles and fuel, and the relationships that drive long-term success.
Where Fleets Learn What’s Next
ACT Expo 2026 will place greater emphasis on the digital frontier, reflecting rising industry investment in software-defined vehicles, connected vehicle platforms and infrastructure, real-time data collection and analysis via the use of AI, and autonomy. Through end-user case studies, the event will highlight how these cutting-edge technologies are improving performance, safety, and ROI, while giving attendees a clear view of where and how they are scaling.
Beyond digital solutions, ACT Expo 2026 will continue to provide the industry’s most comprehensive showcase of ultra-clean vehicles and low-carbon fuels. Highlights include lower-cost commercial EVs and new platforms across multiple classes, the proliferation of commercial vehicle charging infrastructure, and early signs of large-scale market adoption. The program will also spotlight growing investment in hydrogen vehicles and fueling infrastructure, along with natural gas and propane fleets—longstanding clean fuel options that are now rapidly transitioning to renewable, ultra-low-carbon forms of these fuels.
Fleets attending ACT Expo 2026 will explore:
- How connected technologies, AI and advanced analytics, and fleet intelligence are boosting uptime and lowering costs.
- How advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS) are increasing fleet safety performance and accelerating the commercialization of autonomous vehicles.
- Where autonomous vehicles are now running in commercial applications and how, when and where this technology will be ready for adoption in their own operations.
- What physical and corporate infrastructure is required to truly unlock the value of digital vehicle platforms.
- The latest developments in bringing lower-cost, zero-emission commercial vehicles to market and how fueling infrastructure expansion is happening in parallel.
- Real-world success stories in battery-electric and hydrogen vehicles, where investment remains strong and scaling is beginning to occur.
- The renaissance taking place in the natural gas and propane vehicle industries, and where and how increasingly carbon-negative renewable fuels are playing a role.
- Real-world deployment and funding strategies from leading fleet executives.
“The pace of change and acceleration of advanced technologies in commercial transportation is phenomenal; it’s unlike anything we have seen before,” said Erik Neandross, President of Clean Transportation Solutions at TRC, producers of ACT Expo. “From the boardroom to the show floor, ACT Expo is the one place where C-suite representatives from fleets, OEMs, and infrastructure partners engage directly to shape real-world progress and the future of their businesses. It’s where fleet leaders learn what’s actually working in the field, what’s just around the corner, and where they can better understand proven strategies that can deliver both economic and environmental results.”
Why We’re Simply ‘ACT Expo’ in 2026
As the event has grown into the largest and preeminent annual industry gathering, and central stage where the latest advanced vehicle technologies and fuels are launched, showcased and discussed, ACT Expo can no longer be simply defined as the clean or advanced technology show – it has become so much more.
Reflecting this expanded focus, the event will move forward under the streamlined name ACT Expo. The letters “ACT” reflect the many forces shaping the industry’s future, such as:
- Advanced, Autonomous, Alternative, AI, Analytics, Adaptable, Assets
- Clean, Commercial, Connected, Cost-Effective, Compliant, Charged, Carbon-free
- Transportation, Technology, Transition, Trailers, Telematics, TCO, Tires
