Autonomous Trucks at ACT Expo 2026

EquipmentPhotos 9May 8, 2026

The Advanced Clean Transportation Expo isn't just about "clean" transportation; it's also about advanced technology.

You'd be hard-pressed to find transportation technology more advanced than autonomous trucks, which were the subject of educational sessions at the 2026 Las Vegas show. And on the expo floor, there were more of these trucks on display than I've ever seen in one place.
