Bob Costello, senior vice president and chief economist at the American Trucking Associations, is back by popular demand to provide insight into the latest on the future of the trucking industry at NATSO Connect. Costello will discuss the economic factors that will influence the trucking industry throughout the coming year and how it will affect truckstop and travel center operators.
Then, John Farrell, PhD, laboratory program manager for vehicle technologies at the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL), will discuss promising new combustion and fuel technologies. According to Farrell, the internal combustion engine is not dead and is not likely to die in the near future. However, research continues to find ways to improve its efficiency and deliver a better value for consumers. Farrell oversees NREL’s cross-cutting research in the sustainable transportation arena. From electric vehicles to e-fuels, he has a pulse on the future and will make sure attendees walk away with latest research on vehicle technologies.
