In an effort to educate and prepare the Maine trucking industry for future technology changes, we have invited Volvo to the January 9th MMTA Membership and Board meetings to be a featured presenter. Joining us will be Roberto Camacho, Volvo E-mobility Specialist for the Northeast Region, to talk about truck electrification from a manufacturer’s perspective.
We all know that electrification is coming at some point, hopefully with voluntary adoption and when the market demands it. But manufacturers of our trucks face unique challenges to balance that demand and political realities, and this impacts MMTA member choices and costs. Please join us to hear from Volvo about their ZEV goals, manufacturing challenges, and what they see for the future of truck electrification.
We know the meeting is in a few weeks, but we wanted to let everyone know about the topic in case you wanted to bring your maintenance and purchasing folks to the meeting on January 9th. You may recall that this meeting is a little different than most because it will be held in conjunction with the MMTA Annual Banquet to be held this year at the Sheraton Sable Oaks in South Portland. The Membership/Board meeting starts at 2pm and the hospitality reception, hosted by Volvo, starts the banquet event at 5pm. If you haven’t yet registered for the banquet, you can CLICK HERE to register.
We hope you will join us on January 9th!
