More about the Ride & Drive and how you can participate
The HTUF Conference Ride & Drive is one of the most popular conference events. It is a great opportunity for manufacturers to allow fleets and other interested parties to test out their hybrid and electric vehicles. It is open to medium and heavy-duty hybrid, hybrid plug-ins and pure electric vehicles and buses. 

Vehicles will be driven on a designated route with opportunities for drivers to test the vehicle in stop and go, higher speeds, turns, and other controlled but "real world" driving experiences. All entries must be drivable, commericial-path or production hybrid vehicles.

VEHICLE SPACE IS LIMITED and is on a first come first served basis!
To showcase your vehicle in the HTUF Ride & Drive, contact Sean White at cwhite@calstart.org or call 626.744.5632. All requests will be reviewed for consideration.              

If you want to drive one of these highly advanced vehicles, you must register for HTUF 2009!
