FARMINGTON HILLS, Mich., Oct. 22, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Registration and housing for the 25th edition of North America’s largest work truck event are now open at worktruckweek.com. Work Truck Week® 2025 runs March 4–7, 2025, at Indiana Convention Center in Indianapolis. More Than a Trade Show®, it encompasses The Work Truck Show®, Green Truck Summit, NTEA Annual Meeting, Ride & Drive, educational program, and more.
For 25 years, the people who design, build, use and maintain the work trucks and equipment the world relies on have gathered every March to see the industry’s latest products and technology, learn from one another and discuss how to improve the future. What started as a trade show has continued to evolve to meet the changing needs of the industry. From Monday to Friday, the event’s energy, scale and intensity encompass the City of Indianapolis, making Work Truck Week a one-of-a-kind experience. Work Truck Week is produced and hosted by NTEA – The Work Truck Association™.
“Much like the industry it serves, Work Truck Week is constantly adapting,” says Steve Carey, NTEA president & CEO. “We maintain the elements at the core of its success, like a packed exhibit hall, relevant educational sessions and unbeatable opportunities to connect with other industry professionals, while adjusting other pieces and integrating new features to deliver the information and experiences our attendees and exhibitors need to energize their operations.”
Explore vehicles and equipment
The Work Truck Show exhibit hall is filled with commercial vehicles, equipment and products — including chassis, bodies, aerial devices, snow and ice control equipment, advanced vehicle and fuel technology, accessories and components — from 500 companies. It’s a one-stop-shop to find the latest products and technology; optimize current commercial vehicle design and specification; discover new business opportunities; and collaborate with management, product and engineering teams from multiple suppliers. In addition to the main exhibit hall open March 5–7, New Exhibitor Pavilion showcases first-time exhibitors March 5–6.
