From innovation to implementation: making the right clean technology choices for your fleet at ACT Expo 2025

We are thrilled to again be attending the annual Advanced Clean Transportation (ACT) Expo, in Anaheim, California. Taking place between 28 April 1 May 2025, the Expo is North America’s largest event dedicated to commercial transportation and clean fleets.

Shaping the future of zero-emission fleets

Ricardo is at the forefront of technological innovation and understands the most complex and dynamic challenges facing the commercial transport sector. The Expo provides an important platform for industry leaders, experts, and innovators to gather and discuss the latest trends and technologies that are shaping the future of clean transportation.

Through conversations with clients and industry stakeholders, we have identified several key topics that are driving discussions in accelerating the transition to zero-emission fleets: 

Innovations and advancements
As organisations strive to meet sustainability goals while maintaining operational efficiency, the right innovations can make all the difference. However, the challenge our clients need support with is identifying and selecting the innovations will best enable them to achieve their objectives.

We support organisations in assessing the benefits and feasibility of emerging and traditional technologies based on their organisation needs, infrastructure capabilities, and long-term growth strategies.

Return on investments
Investing in new and existing technology is a significant financial commitment for organisations. Therefore, it is critical to evaluate whether your innovation investments will deliver the right ROI. Considerations into upfront costs, development of infrastructure and ongoing costs associated with new technology should all be considered.  

We are  supporting our customers in this decision-making process by conducting detailed cost-benefit analyses. Our approach ensures customers can determine that their investments are not only supporting their sustainable fleet strategies but  also taking into consideration the long-term impact of their investments.

Scalability of technologies
Adopting new technologies is only one part of the transition to zero-emission technologies. Organisations must assess whether these technologies have the ability for real-world scalability and ensure they perform well beyond planned demonstrations or pilot projects. 

We are supporting customers in overcoming these challenges by evaluating variables such infrastructure readiness, energy capacity, life cycle assessments and the ability to comply with regulatory requirements.

Navigating complexity 
Transitioning to zero-emission commercial vehicles is complex and organisations also require expertise, strategies and roadmaps alongside technological innovations in order to navigate the transition to zero-emission commercial fleets. 

We have already supported a number of global customers to navigate this complexity by assessing and identifying the best technologies, supporting with understanding and navigating regulations, assisting with infrastructure planning and providing analytical data to assess technology and vehicle performance.
