Right fuel, right vehicle, right time: how can fleets cut carbon emissions? (video)

Full electrification is not possible for many complex fleets and this year’s Fleet & Mobility Live will discuss how those companies can start to reduce emissions today.

A session entitled Right Fuel, Right Vehicle, Right Time: How integrating biofuels, HVO, CNG and LNG solutions with electric and hydrogen will speed up your fleet decarbonisation will look at the options available to fleet decision-makers.

Speakers for the session are:

• Matthew Hammond, head of fleet & plant, Altrad Services, and Association of Fleet Professionals (AFP) deputy chair
• Justin Laney, partner & general manager, central transport, John Lewis Partnership

The UK’s leading event for fleets will take place at the NEC, Birmingham, on October 8 and 9 and provides a unique opportunity to engage and connect with the fleet community.

It helps facilitate access to the best knowledge, learning and peer groups across the sector, helping fleets connect, learn, share and discover new ways to improve their business operations.

This year the event will have three theatres delivering best-in-class content including the Fleet Matrix Theatre, which is aimed at HR, finance and procurement professionals, and will recognise that fleet responsibilities can be part of other departments across an organisation.

The Association of Fleet Professions (AFP) will also run a session on understanding the basics of fleet management.

Other theatres at the event are Fleet Fundamentals Theatre which will look at some of the everyday basics of running a fleet, such as safety, compliance and electrification and the Strategy & Leadership Theatre which will focus on areas of the sector having the greatest effect on the way fleets operate, offering advice and insight to give fleet decision-makers the confidence to make the right decisions and form the best strategies.

Content for a series of best practice and strategy sessions at this year’s free-to-attend event has been developed by the two-day event’s visitor advisory board (VAB) which is made up of HR and fleet professionals (see below), whose fleets range from fewer than 100 vehicles to more than 1,000.
