The 5th annual AltWheels Fleet Day will be held Monday, October 5, 2009 at Staples World Headquarters in Framingham, MA.

This is a don’t miss event for individuals wanting to understand the latest in alternative transportation technologies, costs, best practices, funding, and fuel options. This is the largest alternative transportation event of its kind in New England.

The day will consist of more than 30 leading experts, interactive workshops, more than 40 alternative vehicles of all sizes and types, half of which are available for ride and drives, as well as exhibits covering hybrids, electric vehicles, alternative fuel vehicles, CNG vehicles, hydrogen/fuel cell, and more efficient vehicle technologies. Fleet managers will speak on how they have switched their fleets to alternatives and about the real dollar savings and the learning process involved with this transition. A special panel this year will focus on the stimulus spending and new sources of funding for fleet and vehicle conversions. One can explore ways to reduce fuel costs while getting ahead of the next generation of regulations. This event is designed for corporate fleet managers, small business executives who want to understand vehicle options, municipal fleet and facilities managers, government officials, and interested individuals.
