There was a definite shade of green at this year's Truck Product Conference.

The annual event, sponsored by the National Truck Equipment Association, featured presentations and displays of alternative fuels, including diesel electric hybrids, compressed natural gas, and propane.

A chance to promote their new models and to point out features that can improve truck body and equipment installation attracted Ford, Freightliner, General Motors, Hino, Isuzu, Kenworth, Mitsubishi, Peterbilt, Ram, and Western Star to make presentations to NTEA members.
