NAFA's 2025 Institute & Expo to Showcase Electric Vehicle Innovation and Fleet Management Technologies

The NAFA Fleet Management Association is set to revolutionize fleet technology exploration at its 2025 Institute & Expo (I&E), featuring two groundbreaking events designed to provide industry professionals with direct exposure to the latest electric vehicle innovations.

The Indoor EV Test Track and Ride & Drive Experience will offer unprecedented opportunities for fleet managers and professionals to interact with and evaluate next-generation electric vehicles from leading manufacturers. These events represent a critical platform for understanding emerging transportation technologies that are rapidly transforming fleet management strategies.

During the Indoor EV Test Track, scheduled for April 29-30, attendees will experience ride-along sessions featuring electric vehicles from industry leaders including Ford, Lucid, Nissan, Rivian, and Volvo. This indoor track experience provides a controlled environment for professionals to assess vehicle performance, technological capabilities, and potential fleet integration strategies.

The complementary Outdoor Ride & Drive Experience on April 30 will allow participants to personally operate vehicles from manufacturers such as Mercedes Benz, Toyota, Ram Professional, and UPower. This hands-on opportunity enables direct evaluation of electric and alternative fuel vehicle performance, handling, and practical applications for diverse fleet requirements.

These interactive experiences are positioned against a backdrop of over 40 educational sessions, reflecting the fleet management industry's rapid technological transformation. By facilitating direct engagement with cutting-edge vehicle technologies, NAFA is supporting professionals in making informed decisions about fleet electrification and alternative fuel adoption.

The events underscore the increasing importance of electric and alternative fuel vehicles in fleet management, offering insights into efficiency, sustainability, and technological advancement. As organizations increasingly prioritize environmental responsibility and operational efficiency, these experiences provide critical knowledge for strategic fleet planning and technological integration.

With NAFA members managing approximately 4.8 million vehicles driving an estimated 84 billion miles annually, the 2025 Institute & Expo represents a pivotal moment for understanding and implementing emerging transportation technologies across commercial, government, and institutional fleets.
