On the floor with our clients at North America’s largest fleet technology show.
ACT Expo brings the commercial vehicle world together under one roof, and this year it filled the Las Vegas Convention Center with more than twelve thousand fleet operators, OEMs, technology providers, and policymakers working on the future of how goods and people move. AMA spent the week in the middle of it.
Without a booth to staff, Managing Director George Ayres and the AMA team had the freedom to move through the show the way our clients do, following the sessions that mattered most, getting a close look at the newest vehicles and platforms, and spending real time with the partners we work with across connected vehicles, fleet data, and electrification.
A good part of our week went to WirelessCar, a client whose work sits right at the center of where the connected fleet is heading. Nathan Giannettino, Director of Business Development for the Americas at WirelessCar, joined a standout session titled “Unlocking Fleet Efficiency: Redefining Vehicle Access in the Connected Era,” moderated by Ian Televik, Senior Marketing Director at the Car Connectivity Consortium, and featuring Geoff Kruse, Senior Director of Vehicle Access at Rivian and Volkswagen Group Technologies. The conversation dug into the practical question of how digital vehicle access reshapes what a fleet can actually do, from how vehicles are shared and serviced to how operators pull more value out of every asset they run.
Vehicle access and connectivity are themes we spend a lot of our time on, because they sit underneath almost every fleet decision our clients are making right now. The vehicle is becoming a data platform in its own right, and the companies that work out how to manage access to that data, securely and at scale, are the ones shaping what comes next. Watching that conversation play out on the ACT Expo stage, with our client helping to lead it, was a good reminder of why we do this work.
Beyond the sessions, the floor told its own story. Zero-emission trucks, software-defined vehicles, charging and depot infrastructure, and a growing layer of AI sitting on top of fleet operations were everywhere you looked. The conversations we had with OEMs, fleet technology providers, and fellow advisors confirmed what we have been hearing from clients all year. The technology itself is largely proven now, and the real work has moved on to making it operate reliably, profitably, and at the scale that fleets need.
If you were in Las Vegas for ACT Expo, or if the themes from the show line up with what your team is working through, we would be glad to compare notes. AMA advises OEMs, fleet technology providers, and mobility companies on connected vehicles, fleet data, and the strategy behind real-world electrification.
