Following extensive and careful deliberation, NTEA and its Board of Directors made the difficult decision to cancel our 2021 Truck Product Conference, given the significant constraints the commercial vehicle technical community is currently facing.
“Truck Product Conference is purposefully designed to connect chassis OEMs with equipment manufacturers and distributors for important technical insights to help the upfitting process,” said NTEA Board Chair Jon Sievert, president – work truck solutions at Douglas Dynamics Inc. “We feel that at this time this goal needs to be accomplished in a way that doesn’t take us away from our businesses given the current state of the industry.”
“As the association for the work truck industry, we know your pain points, challenges and needs,” said Steve Carey, NTEA president & CEO. “We’re here and we’re listening. And we fully believe this decision, in this moment in time, upholds our unwavering dedication to doing what’s right for you and your businesses.”
NTEA prioritizes providing access to resources and information that drive the work truck industry’s productivity and profitability. This year, we have an opportunity to shift gears — to keep you in your own space without interruption, and meet your needs in a way that’s more manageable. As much as we’d prefer to connect in person, the impact of continuous supply chain delays and disruptions, labor shortages, and various other factors in your local regions, are placing additional demands on your companies, and NTEA wants to support and not disrupt your essential business operations.
We are thankful and appreciative of the positive responses and commitments to participate in Truck Product Conference. We’d like to recognize everyone who has contributed to this event, including chassis OEMs and all of those planning to attend. Thanks for your continued support and patience over the last few months.
