ACT Expo brings together 12,000+ fleet leaders, OEMs, shippers, policymakers, and technology innovators May 4–7 in Las Vegas, and hydrogen will be squarely in the conversation.
With 500+ exhibitors and 200+ advanced vehicles on display, attendees get a comprehensive view of zero-emission powertrains, including battery-electric, renewable fuels, natural gas, and hydrogen solutions. This is essential context for hydrogen stakeholders evaluating how hydrogen fits within the broader commercial transportation transition and competitive technology landscape.
The 2026 agenda centers on four core topics that directly shape the hydrogen deployment strategy:
- Advanced Powertrains & Vehicle Innovations: Understand the engines and powertrains that will define the next decade, including clean diesel, hybrids, natural gas, propane, battery-electric, hydrogen, and EPA27 standards.
- Digital Solutions for Peak Performance: Explore how telematics, automation, geolocation, V2X, and software-defined platforms are reshaping how fleets and shippers operate.
- Efficiency, Productivity & Safety: Discover practical ways to reduce costs and improve reliability through aerodynamics, lightweighting, braking and stability systems, advanced sensors, and smarter maintenance.
- Fuels, Energy & Infrastructure: Gain practical guidance on powering your fleet, including diesel efficiency upgrades, low-carbon and renewable fuels, natural gas, propane, hydrogen, and electric charging.
H2FCP’s Executive Director Bill Elrick will speak on “Guiding Principles for Hydrogen FCEV Market Development: A Strategic Pivot for Fleets and Policy,” and attendees can expect to learn:
- Why hydrogen’s longer range, fast refueling, and payload capacity make FCEV fleets uniquely suited to heavy-duty operations.
- The necessity of policy instruments with teeth (i.e., requirements, infrastructure support, coordinated standards) to avoid the regulatory backsliding seen in ACF.
- H2FCP’s membership-aligned approach to building durable momentum among government agencies, energy suppliers, and OEMs toward a zero-emission trucking future.
Beyond sessions, the expo floor delivers months' worth of market intelligence in four days: direct conversations with fleet operators deploying hydrogen, OEM insights on vehicle performance and durability, and infrastructure providers scaling fueling networks.
