The Association of Equipment Manufacturers, ICUEE's sponsor, has extended the product demonstration capability of this year's show to road vehicles. Visitors will be able to drive participating exhibitor's products in a special outdoor area, says AEM.

The new “ride and drive” program will allow better comparison of commercial vehicles for the construction and utility industries as well as truck engines and components. In addition to trucks and engines, these products will include transmissions, power systems, clutch and brake systems, safety and collision warning systems, fleet, fuel and GPS management systems, and hybrid and alternative fuel systems.
