ZEB Con Content

ZEB Con’s 18 educational sessions convene speakers from Philadelphia to Seattle in fleet-to-fleet conversations.

Conference content spans everything from the latest software and support technologies that are enabling charging systems for 100+ vehicles, to best practices for evaluating a site and system for fuel cell electric vehicles.

The conference kicks off with a ZEB 101 course that provides attendees with a foundational understanding of zero-emission vehicle and infrastructure technologies.

ZEB Con 2023 also features conversations with the Federal Transit Administration (FTA) regarding their Research and Innovation support programs.

The California Air Resources Board (CARB) will review learnings from their Innovative Clean Transit Regulation (ICT) that was implemented in 2018 and requires all of the state’s transit agencies to be 100% zero-emission by 2040.

Transit agency speakers include AC Transit (Oakland, CA), KVB (Cologne, DE), Duluth Transit Authority (Duluth, MN), Greater Bridgeport Transit (Bridgeport, CT), KCATA (Kansas City, MO), Metrobus (Mexico City, MX), New York MTA (New York, NY), StarMetro (Tallahassee, FL), and WMATA (Washington D.C.), among others.

In addition to educational sessions, ZEB Con will also offer tours of two local electric bus sites, San Diego MTS and North County Transit District.
