RJ Scaringe to Headline ACT Expo 2026 as Rivian Pushes Fleet Electrification

Rivian CEO RJ Scaringe will headline ACT Expo 2026, putting Rivian’s growing commercial and fleet ambitions squarely in the spotlight at North America’s largest fleet technology event.

ACT Expo 2026 takes place May 4 to 7, 2026 at the Las Vegas Convention Center and is widely regarded as the most important conference for fleet decision-makers evaluating advanced vehicle technologies. For more than 16 years, the event has brought together fleet operators, OEMs, technology providers, utilities, policymakers, and infrastructure partners to focus on real-world solutions that improve productivity, safety, reliability, and total cost of ownership. The show typically features hundreds of exhibitors, multiple keynote sessions, and deep technical discussions around electrification, connected vehicles, software-defined platforms, AI, automation, and zero-emission infrastructure.

RJ’s keynote, scheduled for Wednesday, May 6, will focus on practical fleet electrification at scale. With thousands of Rivian electric delivery vehicles already operating daily and Rivian now offering its commercial vehicles to fleets of all sizes, RJ plans to share lessons learned from real-world deployments. The discussion will center on how electrification impacts total cost of ownership, uptime, reliability, safety, and day-to-day fleet operations in demanding, high-utilization environments.

A key theme of the keynote will be how Rivian’s vehicle design philosophy, software stack, and advanced driver-assistance systems support consistent fleet performance. Rather than focusing on future promises, RJ is expected to highlight data and insights pulled directly from vehicles already on the road, showing how thoughtful hardware and software integration can lower operating costs and simplify fleet management.

RJ Scaringe’s presence at ACT Expo 2026 underscores Rivian’s increasing role in commercial transportation and signals that fleet electrification is no longer theoretical. It is happening right now, at scale, across last-mile delivery and commercial use cases. For fleet operators weighing the transition to electric vehicles, this keynote is likely to be one of the most relevant sessions of the week.

ACT Expo 2026 runs May 4 to 7, 2026, at the Las Vegas Convention Center in Las Vegas, Nevada. More information is available at actexpo.com.
