With over 5,500 electric vehicles and 2,250 chargers, New York City’s Department of Citywide Administrative Services (DCAS) operates the largest municipal EV fleet on the East Coast — which includes over 1,000 medium- and heavy-duty electric trucks in active service. Keith Kerman, NYC’s Chief Fleet Officer, returns to Fleet Forward the Tour to share insights from the street-level frontlines of fleet electrification. This session will cover practical challenges and real-world opportunities in deploying electric trucks, including infrastructure hurdles, operational integration, and duty cycle performance. For fleets exploring electrification beyond light-duty, this is a rare opportunity to learn from one of the most experienced practitioners in the nation.
