NTEA is broadening the Green Truck Summit in 2026 with deeper insights into fleet data, connectivity and artificial intelligence, key areas shaping the future of commercial vehicles.
The Green Truck Summit is leveling up for Work Truck Week 2026 and this time, it’s about far more than electric trucks or alternative fuels.
NTEA announced that next year’s Summit will expand its focus to include data-driven decision-making, connected vehicle technology, and artificial intelligence, reflecting the rapid evolution of today’s commercial vehicle landscape. The event takes place Tuesday, March 10, 2026, in Indianapolis.
A Broader Tech Conference for a Fast-Evolving Industry
Launched in 2009 as a hybrid/alt-fuel event, Green Truck Summit has transformed into Work Truck Week’s all-day technology conference. The 2026 program deepens that evolution, folding the Commercial Vehicle Data Exchange Session into the main Summit lineup.
“Organizations across the commercial vehicle industry are pushing boundaries in sustainability, safety, productivity, software and hardware,” said Kevin Koester, NTEA managing director. “In this environment, strong data analysis becomes critical.”
