ACT Expo will bring fleet decision-makers face-to-face with leaders from Mack Trucks and Rivian in 2026, as Stephen Roy, President of Mack Trucks and Chairman of Volvo Group North America, and RJ Scaringe, Founder and CEO of Rivian, have been announced as keynote speakers. ACT Expo 2026 will take place May 4–7 at the Las Vegas Convention Center.
ACT Expo, North America’s largest fleet technology conference and expo, said the keynote sessions will give fleet decision-makers direct insight into how leading OEMs are translating advanced vehicle technologies into measurable improvements in efficiency, productivity, uptime, safety, and environmental and economic performance. The 2026 program is designed to help fleets manage rising costs, faster technology cycles, and growing expectations around operational reliability.
Roy’s keynote, scheduled for Tuesday, May 5, will focus on how connected systems, software-defined platforms, and AI-driven capabilities are reshaping modern commercial vehicles. In his role overseeing a broad portfolio of heavy-duty vehicle technologies across North America, Roy will discuss how fleets are using connected vehicles, over-the-air updates, and advanced analytics to improve uptime, optimize maintenance, and make more informed long-term equipment decisions.
“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, scheduled for Wednesday, May 6, will center on Rivian’s expanding role in commercial transportation, including its work with fleets on large-scale electric vehicle deployments and the outlook for new vehicles and technologies that support fleet operations and financial performance. His remarks will address how electrification decisions affect total cost of ownership, reliability, safety, and day-to-day operations.
Drawing on real-world fleet deployments, Scaringe will highlight how vehicle design, software, and advanced driver-assistance systems support consistent performance in high-utilization environments.
“Fleet electrification is happening at scale, every day,” Scaringe said. “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.”
For more than 16 years, ACT Expo has served as a key forum for fleet decision-makers seeking clear, unbiased guidance on advanced transportation technologies. The 2026 event will bring together fleet operators, shippers, OEMs, technology providers, infrastructure partners, utilities, policymakers, and industry leaders to explore the technologies shaping the next decade of commercial transportation, including AI, automation, connected vehicles, software-defined platforms, advanced powertrains, and zero-emission solutions.
