Fleet operators across the U.S. are invited to take part in the upcoming year's State of Sustainable Fleets Survey, the most comprehensive, technology-neutral annual assessment of clean vehicle technology and fuel adoption.

Now entering its seventh year, the survey plays a key role in shaping the data behind the annual State of Sustainable Fleets report, which will be released at ACT Expo 2026.

The insights gathered help shape the industry's widely used Market Brief, a key resource for policymakers, manufacturers, and fleet professionals seeking to understand real-world trends, costs, and infrastructure hurdles.

Participation takes just 10 to 15 minutes, and all responses are kept completely anonymous. By sharing their experiences, fleet operators can play a direct role in informing critical decisions across the commercial transportation sector.
