2007CHDVAGENDA


February 13-15, 2007
at Hilton Los Angeles/Universal City, CA

Tentative Agenda

2007, the year that the first phase of government regulations on diesel engines takes effect. It has loomed large in the strategic plans for manufacturers, suppliers, technology developers and fleets for years but 2010 is waiting in the wings. What will be the next great challenges – health impacts, global fuel supply and prices, global warming, emissions, vehicle efficiency - facing the heavy-duty vehicle industry and fleet operators in 2010 and beyond? The 7th Annual Clean Heavy Duty Vehicle Conference will explore what will occurred in 2007 to pave the way for phase two in 2010.
