Los Angeles is preparing to host a groundbreaking event in the automotive industry. With the expansion of its Fleet Innovation Zone for the 2025 AutoMobility LA, the event is set to showcase the advancements in zero-emission, connected fleets. Scheduled for November 20 at the Los Angeles Convention Center, this year's edition builds upon the success of its inaugural year by providing a platform that encompasses all aspects of fleet innovation.

Among the spotlight features will be a keynote address by Voltera, a leader in electric and autonomous vehicle charging infrastructure, who will share insights on the ongoing transformation within fleet management towards a more sustainable future.
