Volvo’s CTO to join ACT Expo keynote lineup
Lars Stenqvist, chief technology officer at the Volvo Group, has joined the keynote speaker lineup of the 10th annual Advanced Clean Transportation (ACT) Expo. Stenqvist’s keynote will take place as a “fireside chat” on August 31, at 9 a.m. PT, and is part of the ACT Expo’s return to the Long Beach Convention Center in Southern California from August 30 to September 2.
Stenqvist, who is responsible for the Volvo Group’s global technological needs and all engineering technology activities for the group’s products and services, is also a member of the company’s executive board. His keynote will cover the importance of strategic partnerships to drive market development for more efficient, low- and zero-emission transportation technologies as well as the key role North America plays in advancing electromobility, hydrogen-based fuel-cell solutions, autonomous technology adoption and the move towards fossil-free fuels in the future.
ACT Expo attendees will have an opportunity to dive deeper into everything from batteries and hydrogen to ultra-low-emission natural gas and propane, renewable fuels, and more by participating in four days of fleet-focused sessions, including:
- Battery Tech Workshop
- Electrifying the Last Mile
- Hydrogen Fuel Cell Vehicle Executive Roundtable
- The State and Future of Autonomy for Fleets
- Clean Transportation as a Service
- Ultra Clean Heavy-Duty Vehicle Summit
- Light- and Medium-Duty Vehicle Summit
