Ranger Design has pioneered EV-specific innovations - starting with their drill-free floor and aluminum and composite products that reduce the weight of the upfit by 20-25%.
The Forth Roadmap Conference in Portland, Oregon, in May brings together over 1,000 diverse stakeholders - including government agencies, fleet managers, OEMs, charging companies and offers very practical hands-on learning.
Blink is launching two new options for home charging for fleets, which will complement their depot charging and DC fast charging solutions.
I’m writing from NAFA I&E in Baltimore, and my experiences here have strongly reconfirmed my belief that fleet managers today are operating in a sea of constant change.
In addition to the familiar faces I’ve seen at educational sessions and on the expo floor, I’m excited to say I’m seeing a lot of new faces as new technologies and new players emerge. It’s been a fantastic experience, and I’m thankful to be a member of NAFA.
The 100 Best Fleets Announced
The announcement of the 100 Best Fleets in the Americas is always a highlight at this convention, and this year didn’t disappoint. This program recognizes peak-performing public and commercial fleet operations, and was originally created by the late Tom Johnson. You can see the winners here.

Tesla has delivered a new fleet of up to 21 Tesla Semi electric trucks to PepsiCo as the automaker slowly ramps up the much-delayed vehicle program.
Within weeks of taking delivery of the first truck, PepsiCo said that it would be deploying 36 Tesla Semi trucks, but it wasn’t clear how many were already in operation. Tesla is selling its electric truck to PepsiCo for $250,000. On top of the trucks, Tesla also installed four 750-kW Megachargers at the Sacramento facility as it did at the Modesto plant.
