CLEANING UP THE NORTH WEST

GREENFLEET365 is coming to the North West, online, with an event dedicated to helping public and private sector organisations look at how they can integrate ultra-low emission vehicles in to their transport operation, look at workplace charging and also how to introduce the right infrastructure across the towns and cities in the region.

 

The government remains under a legal obligation to clean up the air across the country and has committed to keeping any delay to Clean Air Zones as short as possible. It is therefore vital that preparatory work to draw up local air quality plans continues and that help and support for businesses across the country to move to cleaner forms of transport should be part of the package of stimulus measures to help drive our economic recovery.

 

Join us online, at 10.00am, on 25th June.

The event will have 3 x dedicated Sessions, looking at ‘Strategy’, ‘Clean Vehicle Technology’ and ‘Charging & Infrastructure’.

The National & Regional Strategy:
Hear from Office for Low Emission Vehicles, who will outline the Road to Zero strategy and provide insight into the grants and schemes available to help pave the way to a shift to cleaner fleets. The region itself comes under the spotlight with an overview piece from UK100, before we get into more detail, looking at the two largest cities in the area – Manchester and Liverpool.

Clean Vehicle Technology:
SMMT take centre stage in Session 2, as we look at the vehicles themselves and the role that clean vehicle technology has to play, in terms of cleaning up the air in any region. Hear more about hybrid, plug-in hybrid and hydrogen vehicles, from Toyota (GB) plc. We then look at the commercial vehicle workhorse, critical in most UK fleets, but is the clean technology out there? Maxus UK will showcase their two electric vans, large and small, both capable of more than 120 miles on a single charge, fully-laden. And we wrap up with Kia Motors UK, who are taking the fleet sector by storm with their PHEV and EV range.

Charging & Infrastructure:
We close by looking at the infrastructure required to ensure that the North West can cope with the proposed shift to cleaner vehicles. National Grid will outline what the UK is doing and how ‘The Grid’ will cope, with a more local look at the strategy, courtesy of Local Energy North West. We wrap up with a look at workplace charging, together with an insight in to how to utilise existing infrastructure to integrate charging, with ubitricity.

Join us online, from 10.00am on 25 June… We have it all covered!
