Delivering the information you need
All Seminars take place in the Aviation Ballroom, located in Hall 5 of the International Centre.
Admission is complimentary. Visitors are encouraged to pre-register for all seminars.

Thursday, April 15 - 2:00 pm to 3:00 pm Meeting the Modern Challenge of the Vocational Truck Spec’ing today’s vocational truck is a new challenge that demands a lot of knowledge, and this seminar will examine the key areas that need to be addressed, above and beyond the basic performance requirements. New technologies like hybridization and exhaust aftertreatment, for example, sometimes place difficult demands on the manufacturer of the vocational truck to create designs that account for the loss of space and payload. The vehicle must also comply with many and various new regulations, both federal and provincial. The goal is building a truck that goes to work legally and safely.

Friday, April 16 • 10:00 am to 11:30 am Fleet Forum — Sleep Issues: the Coming Regulatory Regime Drivers will soon be tested for sleep disorders in much the same way they’re now tested for drug and alcohol abuse.

Exhibitor Presentation Theatre

A new feature of Truck World 2010 is the Exhibitor Presentation Theatre, where manufacturers will demonstrate their products and services on the show floor but away from the noise of the crowd.

For example, Shaw Tracking invites safety & fleet managers as well as senior executives to hear the latest on such challenges as managing fuel costs and automated hours-of-service compliance.

And Michelin invites fleet managers and owner-operators, especially those who haul to and from the U.S., to hear the latest on the X One product and the role that tires play in helping to reduce fuel consumption.
