Gregory T Swienton, chairman and chief executive officer  of Ryder System Inc, will deliver a keynote address at the Alternative Clean Transportation  (ACT) Expo. This event is set for May 17 at the Long Beach (CA) Convention  Center.

  Sponsored by the nation’s leading OEMs, fuel suppliers,  and vehicle technology providers, ACT Expo is North America’s largest  alternative fuel and clean vehicle technology event dedicated to all  alternative fuel types.

  In his address, Swienton will discuss Ryder’s leadership  and commitment to trucks powered by compressed natural gas (CNG), liquefied  natural gas (LNG), and hybrid electric drive systems. He will provide an update  on Ryder’s multiple public-private partnerships to deploy hundreds of  heavy-duty natural gas powered trucks in its Southern California network as  well as in Arizona, Michigan, and elsewhere.

  Program topics for the 2012 agenda will include a focus  on electrification of the transportation industry, development of national  infrastructure systems, a spotlight on investment strategies, and a discussion  on how fleets can integrate large-scale deployments of AFVs into fleet  operations. The 100,000-square-foot expo hall will feature advanced  transportation and alternative fuel vehicles, equipment, and technologies, and  will be open to the public May 16–17.
