Sustainable Mobility Week is here.
The five-day event, launched by Fleet News in association with Ayvens, has been created to prepare fleet/mobility managers and industry stakeholders for the future, by putting the spotlight on sustainable mobility and decarbonisation.
The theme for the inaugural Sustainable Mobility Week is ‘shaping fleet strategies for the next decade: solutions for today and tomorrow’.
Each day will focus on a particular element of sustainable mobility to build a full portfolio of advice, guidance and best practice.
A webinar on November 12 brings together a knowledgeable panel of experts to discuss sustainable mobility opportunities, while Ayvens has published an insight report based on an extensive survey with 250 fleet decision-makers on key essentials of sustainable mobility.
Stephen Briers, Fleet News editor, said: “Sustainable Mobility Week is an opportunity for fleet operators to explore innovative solutions, adopt best practice, understand what it means and promote their commitment to sustainability, ultimately benefiting operations and strengthening your position in the market.”
The week in detail:
Day 1: Alternative mobility solutions
The role of alternative forms of mobility on a sustainable fleet, with examples of successes (and failures) to help companies consider the right solutions for them.
Day 2: Infrastructure
How to control and plan fuel costs, infrastructure requirements, cost of charging (including the difference between workplace, public, home charging) and how to reimburse charging costs.
Day 3: Policy: fleet & Government
The impact of Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) and the business cost of migrating to sustainable mobility, plus finding the balance between prioritising environmental, social and economic factors.
Day 4: People
Driver wellbeing – how a sustainable mobility policy impacts drivers and why EVs might be good for drivers. To include managing driver resistance / acceptance, how to manage change to drivers’ work patterns with charging at lunchtime / during the day/ at home.
Day 5: Operational change
Operating models, considerations and changes required when migrating to a more sustainable fleet, including how vehicles are used, are all vehicles suitable for transition, where and when vehicles are charged, productivity implications of an electrified fleet, impact on route planning.
Tim Laver, managing director at Ayvens, said: “We plan to use Sustainable Mobility Week as an opportunity to explore the current state of play and celebrate best practice from across our industry. We hope this will help everyone make progress towards the more sustainable future that our planet needs.”
