Fleet Owner reported that there was more exhibit space (520 exhibitors covering more than 500,000 square feet of exhibit space) and educational programming in 2013 than ever before, and next year’s show is shaping up to be just as big. NTEA said that 95% of 2014’s exhibit space is already sold.

Held March 6-8 at the Indiana Convention Center, this year’s show was preceded by the Green Truck Summit, jointly produced by NTEA and CALSTART on March 5-6,

“The NTEA is proud to provide the industry’s ultimate platform for sharing new work truck products and cultivating business relationships,” said Steve Carey, NTEA executive director. “It is clear that the Work Truck Show has truly become the single most important forum for work truck professionals throughout North America. With a record level of exhibitor booths already sold for the 2014 show, we are confident that the industry is again poised for growth in the upcoming year.”

The Work Truck Show 2013 featured more than 120 products with vans and fuel-saving technologies receiving the most attention.
