The Showcase will feature the latest advances in all aspects of zero-emission bus technologies. The Symposium will provide participants and stakeholders with updated technical information on zero‑emission technologies, associated infrastructure and scale up options, operating costs and fuels, deployment planning, and funding sources. The date and location of this event are as follows:
DATE: February 6-7, 2019
TIME: 8 a.m.- 5 p.m. (both days)
