"It is important to stay up to date and focus on the biggest challenges that fleets are dealing with. Right now, optimizing efficiency is one of the biggest challenges," said Sherb Brown, vice president and group publisher for the magazines' publisher, Bobit Business Media.
FTX will focus on three specific tracks: Green Fleet, Fleet Analytics and Heavy Duty. This year's FTX replaces the Green Fleet Conference & Expo traditionally held in October.
"Alternative-fuel adoption is important, but it is only one piece to the puzzle when it comes to making your fleet more efficient," Brown said.
There will still be alternative fuels content in the Green Fleet track, which focuses on challenges and success stories in using and funding natural gas, propane, electric and other fuel technologies.
The new Fleet Analytics track will cover new software and web-based fleet management services, including telematics and how fleets are using these services to save money and time.
