NACV Show 2021 will take place in Atlanta Sept. 28-30

Hannover Fairs USA (HFUSA) and Newcom Business Media, organizers of the North American Commercial Vehicle Show (NACV), have announced that the event will be held Sept. 28-30 at the Georgia World Congress Center (GWCC) in Atlanta.

HFUSA says it is working with NACV Show partners and stakeholders, local and state authorities and the Georgia World Congress Center (GWCC) on implementing safety protocols for September’s event.

According to HFUSA, the GWCC has established and maintained a cleaning, disinfection and infectious disease prevention program to minimize risks associated with infectious agents like COVID-19. GWCC has put in place the proper cleaning protocols, disinfection techniques, and work practices to combat biohazards and infectious disease; and employs highly informed cleaning professionals who are trained for outbreak and infectious disease preparation and response.

NACV Show 2021 will add multiple education sessions. One will be the North American Council for Freight Efficiency (NACFE) and RMI presentation of the results of Run on Less Electric, a three-week roadshow that will showcase electric trucks in everyday operation. This culmination of the Run on Less Electric program will feature feedback and analysis from the 10 dedicated study drivers and educational sessions from the OEMs, technology providers, fleet management and shipping companies participating in this year’s study.

According to the organizers, the show will also feature several speakers on the topic of electrification, who will address electrification opportunities and challenges, including how to plan for and transition to electric fleets.
