Test drive more than a dozen electric commercial vehicles as well as new internal combustion medium-duty trucks just steps from an exhibit hall packed with the latest products and technology from 500 companies at Work Truck Week® 2023 Ride & Drive.
Ride & Drive is free and open to all Work Truck Week registrants on a first-come, first-served basis March 8–9, from 11 am to 3:30 pm. Choose from 19 vehicles, including all-electric vans, trucks, and new zero-emissions vehicles, as well as internal combustion trucks. Further, Ride & Drive features new components and equipment to help boost performance, fuel economy, safety, and efficiency.
Work Truck Week, North America’s largest work truck event, is March 7–10, 2023, at Indiana Convention Center in Indianapolis. Green Truck Summit is March 7, educational sessions run March 7–9, and the Work Truck Show exhibit hall is open March 8–10.
“One of the great things about Work Truck Week is not only can you see the latest commercial vehicles, equipment, and technology, but you can also try much of it for yourself,” says Kevin Koester, NTEA managing director. “If you want to drive the latest medium-duty trucks or zero-emissions commercial vehicles, you can walk outside the exhibit hall to Ride & Drive. In an hour, you can accomplish what would otherwise take weeks or months of planning.”
