The Green Truck Summit 2010, which will be held in conjunction with The Work Truck Show 2010 and 46th Annual NTEA Convention in St. Louis, Mo., will focus on providing fleets with ideas for implementing green programs

. The event is scheduled for March 9-10, 2010.

"The Green Truck Summit provides vocational fleet managers with the information they need to make sound business decisions about green technology for their operations," said Doyle Sumrall, NTEA senior director of business development. "Upfitters will also find the Summit to be the ideal forum to connect with the technologies and suppliers their customers need.

"Implementing a successful green fleet program involves much more than simply writing purchase orders for new hybrid or alternative fuel vehicles. At the Green Truck Summit, fleet managers learn how to match the appropriate clean technologies to their fleets' drive cycles, control fuel consumption, reduce vehicle emissions, obtain state and federal assistance to pay for green technology, and compare the various alternative fuel sources currently available."

The event organizers have tapped Jack Roush, chairman of Roush Enterprises, and Roy Willis, president and CEO of the Propane Education and Research Council, to present a keynote address on day two entitled "Propane: An Alternative for Clean Energy Independence."

The Green Truck Summit covers all current "green" power sources for work trucks, including hydraulic hybrid (HHV), hybrid electric (HEV), plug-in hybrid electric (PHEV), natural gas hybrid (NG-hybrid), renewable natural gas, hydrogen fuel cell, propane, biodiesel and electric drive.
