I would like to highlight the efforts of the Electric Drive Transportation Association (EDTA), which is the preeminent US industry association dedicated to the promotion of electric drive as the best means to achieve the highly efficient and clean use of secure energy in the transportation sector.  They support the sustainable commercialization of all electric drive transportation technologies by providing in-depth information, education, industry networking, public policy advocacy and international conferences and exhibitions. The EDTA works with Congress and the Executive branch to transform the fuel consumption of the US fleet with electric drive technology by accelerating the adoption of electric drive technologies, enabling the development of longer term electric drive vehicle options, and ensuring nationwide access to hydrogen and electricity fueling infrastructure.
