ACT Expo 2027 agenda leads with diesel and fleet costs

ACT Expo opened registrations for next year’s show with an agenda that leads with cutting fleets’ fuel and operating costs, starting with diesel technology. The Advanced Clean Transportation Expo will take place May 17-20 at the Las Vegas Convention Center.

The cost-first pitch is new for a show whose 2026 event saw Rivian and Mack Trucks leaders on the keynote stage under a banner of digital and clean fleet technology. ACT Expo’s release places diesel prices “at the top of fleet concerns.” Fleets heading to Las Vegas in May will find the program opening on fuel efficiency.

The backdrop of record high fuel prices is behind the programming shift. U.S. on-highway diesel averaged a record $6.529 a gallon the week of Sept. 21, according to the Energy Information Administration’s weekly Gasoline and Diesel Fuel Update. It was the latest in a string of all-time highs in September. The average was $6.127 the week of Nov. 9 according to the EIA.

“This isn’t just a sustainability conversation anymore; it’s a business imperative,” Erik Neandross, founder of ACT Expo, said in the release.
