Welcome to ZEV Help! Your Guide to Zero-Emission Commercial Vehicles

Zero-Emission Truck Conferences and Events (2026–2027)

  • Home
  • Zero-Emission Truck Conferences and Events (2026–2027)

The conferences and trade shows where fleets, manufacturers, utilities and regulators meet to talk about zero-emission trucks, buses and charging. Dates and venues are taken from each organizer’s official website. Always confirm details there before you register or book travel.

New to these events? If you run or advise a commercial fleet, ACT Expo is the one show built entirely around clean commercial vehicles. Maintenance teams get the most from TMC. School districts should look at STN EXPO, and charging and energy teams at RE+ and the EV Charging Summit.
