Fleet professionals are invited to participate in a unique and compelling design workshop on April 9th here in Sacramento to provide input and impact the future of commercial vehicles. This workshop is being produced by the Sacramento Clean Cities Coalition in partnership with our newest sponsor EAVX, a technology and innovation hub of JB Poindexter & Co. (JBPCO), parent company of some of the largest truck body companies in the US including Morgan, Morgan Olson, Federal Eagle, LEER, Masterack and Reading.
EAVX leverages JBPCO’s vast industry expertise and draws in new technology partners — including the world’s most advanced electric and alternative power chassis producers — to innovate and execute more efficient commercial vehicles. At this workshop, the EAVX executive team and engineers will seek input from fleet professionals, develop design concepts and will return later in 2024 with a concept vehicle that incorporates the feedback and ideas collected during the session.
Spaces are limited. If you would like more information on how to attend please contact Neal Best or Tim Taylor.
