Day 3 sees us return to the heart of the UK motor industry, Coventry. The City Council has spent 2019 making significant steps in combatting the city’s Air Quality issues. It has already hosted successful GREENFLEET and EVOLUTION events, as part of June's Motofest and they are continuing to reach out and engage with their businesses and citizens, and will do so from the Council House and Broadgate.

Two seminar sessions will outline their overall strategy to combat carbon emissions, looking at charging infrastructure, waste and recycling, e-bikes, solar technology and more... and will be coupled with an in-depth focus on 'All Things EV'.

Designed to highlight the Clean Growth Strategies being Implemented to Combat Poor Air Quality

Coventry is looking to engage with fleet and transport professionals, looking at implementing a cleaner, more efficient transport operation, as well as sustainability, CSR, energy and environmental leaders, looking for the latest in strategy, grants and information, that can help transform their whole business operation. All of this, in the name of ’Clean Growth’.
