NAFA’s Institute & Expo Named Top Trade Show for 4th Consecutive Year

Trade Show News Network, the leading resource for the trade show, exhibition, and event industry, has named NAFA’s Institute and Expo (I&E) to its list of the Top U.S. Trade Shows for the fourth year in a row.

The ranking is based on net square footage of trade shows in the United States. I&E ranked number 206 of all U.S. events, coming in at just under 62,000 net square feet. No other fleet industry show made the list. (By comparison, the #1 U.S. show, the Consumer Electronics Show, takes over the entire city of Las Vegas every January and amasses more than 2.7-million square feet!)

Inside The NYPD Fleet

Nearly six years ago, New York City was hit by Superstorm Sandy’s sustained winds of 80 mph, tearing through homes and flooding subways and streets. In November, the lights were switched on for Rockefeller Center’s 75-foot Christmas tree, an annual draw for millions of visitors. On this morning, the cars are triple-parked and tractor trailers idle in the middle of the road, waiting for passage while backing up traffic in the process. Somewhere else, a crime is being committed.

The New York City Police Department, like any law enforcement entity, deals with these extremes each day, and its fleet must be at the ready throughout. This is a look into how they do it.

Fleets Dig Deeper Into Managing Their Waste Output

Fleets that set an example for sustainable practices are aware of the big-picture numbers – staggering worldwide numbers regarding carbon dioxide (CO2) and nitrogen oxide (NOx) output – and commit to do their part to not contribute to those datasets. Pollutants are, however, more than emissions from vehicles alone. They come from garbage dumped in the landfill which generates CO2 and methane. There are also the pollutants that seep into the ground and water supply, stemming from the waste stream fleets can generate.

Fleets can play a significant role in being responsible stewards of their materials, curbing waste stream flows, and recognizing the consequences that mismanagement will bring. It will not be easy, and may take additional effort.

The State of Tax Credits Fueling the Shift to Alternative-Fueled Fleets

The decision to purchase alternative-fueled and advance-technology fleet vehicles can often come down to available federal, state, and local incentives that make sustainability minded acquisitions fiscally justifiable.

The longstanding fuel excise tax credit of $.50 per-gallon for compressed natural gas, liquefied natural gas, propane autogas, and the $1.00 per gallon credit for biodiesel has had a significant impact on the makeup of today’s fleets across America. Congress routinely allows these year-to-year tax credits to expire only to extend them again at the last minute. At present, the fates of these credits are hanging in the balance, as they expired at the end of 2017 and have not been retroactively extended through 2018.

However, of all the tax extenders Congress is considering, one with a brighter outlook appears to be the credit for biodiesel fuel purchases, in large part due to Sen. Chuck Grassley’s (R-Iowa) sustained support for the incentive.
