Events and Education
 
   
The slate of NAFA webinars for 2018 is now online, including "How Fleet Leaders Identify Fleet-Ready Technologies to Avoid Risk When Deploying EVs," which takes place this Wednesday, June 20. To meet sustainability requirements, more and more fleets are seeking electrified vehicle solutions that are outside the OEM box, including aftermarket upfits and even vehicles from start-up OEMs. But, to avoid unnecessary risk when deploying electrified vehicles, fleet managers want fleet-ready technologies that are reliable, integrate seamlessly into fleet operations, and won't affect their OEM warranty. What's available to you and your fleet? Register now and expand your skillset through these informative education opportunities.
