Arrive'n'Drive Workshops 2016
|
This year’s Arrive’n’Drive theme is “Going Ultra Low”, as new legislation means that all cars and small vans registered from September 2015 MUST be Euro VI standard, and then the same for ALL vans from September 2016.
Our Workshops will highlight the changes, and the solutions that are out there to help you run an efficient fleet and transport operation. We will try and cover everything from full electric, plug-in hybrid and also Euro VI, so everyone that attends will gain knowledge from the information delivered.

Join FORS at the “Going Ultra-low with Commercial Vehicles”
|
This year at Arrive’n’Drive FORS will be presenting on the future operating environment in the context of emissions, what the implications are for commercial vehicle operators and the relative merits of technology options available to mitigate their exposure to upcoming emissions regulation, as well as how to take advantage of government funding to ‘go ultra-low’ in the commercial sector. Finally, we look ‘beyond Euro VI’ for conventionally powered HGVs to ascertain how hauliers can mitigate their emissions as we wait for new technologies to come onto the market and how FORS can help you achieve that.

Join Go Ultra-low at the “Helping Fleets to Go Ultra-low”

Go Ultra Low will deliver a presentation to help fleet managers in the UK; with the latest figures confirming a 22nd continual quarterly rise in plug-in car uptake it is vital fleet managers also join this movement in order to reduce their carbon footprint and save money every year. The fleet industry continues to lead the way, with 72% of new plug-in cars registered to fleets. With 940,000 company car drivers in the UK there is obviously huge potential for growth in this market.
The aim of the Arrive’n’Drive Go Ultra Low Workshop is to increase awareness of electric vehicles by helping fleet managers understand the benefits, cost savings and capabilities of the wide range of vehicles on the market. This Workshop will educate fleet audiences by addressing outdated myths and highlighting benefits, including how they offer competitive practicality for business users.

Join NAPFM at the “Go Ultra-low in the Blue Light Sector”
|
The National Association of Police Fleet Managers (NAPFM) was formed in April 1986 after receiving approval from the Association of Chief Police Officers (ACPO) in February of the same year. The formation arose from an Annual Police Fleet Engineers Seminar that had already been running for thirteen years in Wiltshire.
In partnership with the Home Office Commercial Directorate the NAPFM produces National Framework Procurement Contracts for such things as vehicles and vehicle parts, tyres, fuel, oil, glass, vehicle audible and visual warning, as well as vehicle disposal and ‘End of Life’ disposal. These frameworks have long been recognised to be the best in class and have delivered multi-million pound savings to the Police Service. Many of the contracts are now available to the other Emergency Services. As the Government seeks to make framework contracts pan government different groups are starting to lead in specific areas of procurement.
The NAPFM Workshop will focus on ultra-low solutions for the Police, Ambulance and Fire & Rescue sectors, we will be joined by a representative from each service, who will discuss the steps they have taken in order to adapt their fleet.
