Business
Casual is the Dress Code
Please
do not wear a tie and you don't need a sport coat!.
HTUF meetings are definitely business casual. We want
you to be comfortable and be prepared to roll up your
sleeves and get down to the business of moving hybrids
to the market. Besides, we want you comfortable for
the lively and fun time planned at the AirZoo, one of
the nation's top interactive flight museums.
Expect
New Hybrid Announcements
What
are some of the newest efforts in medium and heavy-duty
hybrid trucks? Expect several important announcements
and "unveilings" to come out of next week's
meeting, in terms of new vehicles and new deployment
efforts. You may be surprised.
