It may still be smack dab in the middle of January but the Advanced Clean Transportation (ACT) Expo is now less than four months away, set to take place at the Las Vegas Convention Center from May 4 to 7.
Today, show organizers announced two big industry names who will deliver keynote addresses. The first individual is no stranger to commercial trucking while the latter will be making his ACT Expo speaking debut.

Stephen Roy, president of Mack Trucks and chairman of Volvo Group North America, and RJ Scaringe, founder and CEO of Rivian will be speaking on May 5 and May 6, respectively, with the former's keynote aims to examine how connected vehicles and real-time data are reshaping fleet uptime, maintenance strategies, and equipment planning.
"Today's trucks are defined by much more than hardware," Roy said. "Connected vehicles, software-defined platforms, and data-driven tools are revolutionizing the industry and helping fleets dramatically improve uptime, efficiency, and safety. ACT Expo is the place to have honest conversations about how these tools are reshaping how we approach decarbonization and sustainability and where they deliver real value."
Scaringe's keynote will examine Rivian's growing presence in commercial transportation, including large-scale fleet EV deployments and upcoming vehicle technologies. Further drawing on the company's large-scale fleet experience with its Electric Delivery Vehicle (EDV), he will also discuss how electrification impacts total cost of ownership, reliability, safety, and daily operations.

"Fleet electrification is happening at scale, every day," said RJ Scaringe. "I'm excited to share what we're learning from real-world deployments and how thoughtful vehicle design, software, and data can help fleets lower costs, improve uptime, and operate more reliably in demanding environments."
