Take the Wheel of the Latest Commercial EVs, Work Trucks at Work Truck Week 2026 Ride & Drive

Get behind the wheel of commercial vehicles boasting the latest technology, fuel, sustainability offerings and propulsion systems during Work Truck Week 2026 Ride & Drive. Featured vehicles incorporate advancements that promote the reduction of fuel use, greenhouse gases or particulate matter.

Held in downtown Indianapolis as part of Work Truck Week, Ride & Drive is free and open to all event attendees on a first-come, first-served basis on March 11 and 12 from 11 a.m.–3:30 p.m.

"Ride & Drive is a unique opportunity for anyone at Work Truck Week to spend some hands-on time out on the road with the latest commercial vehicles and the technology that drives them," said Chris Lyon, NTEA director of fleet relations. "They can choose to drive or ride along to take notes and photos. Manufacturer reps for each vehicle will be on hand to provide information and answer questions."

Ride & Drive is the quick and easy way to get up to speed on the latest tech that can be spec'ed on new commercial vehicles. It's especially useful for fleet managers and others who don't have the time or connections to arrange individual test drives for equipment from various manufacturers.

Attendees can select from 16 vehicles, including all-electric vans, trucks and chassis, as well as internal combustion vehicles featuring advanced technology to improve fuel use and reduce greenhouse gases or particulate matter.
