A new virtual event series for Ford fleet customers, Ford Fleet Live, will allow customers to check out the newest Ford commercial vehicles, discover trends, get tools to improve their businesses, and talk one-on-one with product experts.

“We miss seeing our customers at trade shows and other in-person events,” said Raj Sarkar, general manager, marketing, for the North American Commercial Vehicle business. “We developed Ford Fleet Live as a way to connect with fleets to showcase new Ford products, share information on trends we see in the marketplace and provide tools to help drive your business forward. We’ve even included virtual appointments as the next-best-thing until we can meet again face-to-face."

The four 45-minute-long Ford Fleet Live events are supported by a resource library with video content and other information covering Ford’s full line of commercial vehicles, programs, and services. The new F-Series Calculator helps determine the right truck to meet each fleet’s towing and payload requirements. Customers can make a Transit Virtual Appointment to speak one-on-one with a product expert about which Transit is right for you.

Virtual events begin Oct. 29:
