This year's Advanced Clean Transportation Expo, a green trucking forum held in Long Beach, California, clearly showed that fleet and OEM officials are ready to get back to convention attendance. The numbers don't lie.

In April 2019, when I last visited, it had 4,000 attendees. On Tuesday, the conference had 4,900 people signed up to attend, almost a 25% jump, according to Erik Neandross, a spokesperson and co-organizer of the ACT Expo.

ACT Expo has always been about the future, and that is why I consider it one of the most important trucking conferences. The event informs fleets, OEMs and suppliers on what green tech is being used, and lots of electric and fuel-cell vehicles are on display. Experts speaking on panels made it clear: The future is zero emissions. "The endgame is zero," said Navistar's Gary Horvat.

Were you at the event? What was your biggest takeaway? Let me know.
