PSA: THIS YEAR’S TRUCK AND FLEET CONFERENCE It is my happy privilege to reveal that we will once again be hosting the region’s only event dedicated to fleet operations and operators in November. The team at T&FME have always set ourselves the task of helping transport and logistics fleet owners gain a better understanding of the major trends in the market and how they need to adapt. But the market is changing and so is the conference. This year, we will be expanding our scope to focus on the industry’s links with ecommerce and the opportunities presented by the digital space; including carsharing, ride-hailing, last mile deliveries and a host of other fleet missions powered by new and disruptive technologies. In whatever field a fleet business is operating in, we are putting together a programme that will help them to run faster, longer and leaner by bringing together the leading ideas, technologies and individuals to the annual conference. As before, it will address a variety
of topics: from solutions and service to technology and safety, from general to specialised and from the micro to the macro, but always with a multi stakeholders approach. With the involvement of a veritable who’s-who of the transportation, logistics and commercial vehicles sectors, and with the support of our sponsors, supporters and our media channels, our goal is to enable better planning, fleet management and financing, as well as safer driving, to ensure that your investment brings you the best outcome you are looking for. We received such great feedback from last year’s unique blend of on-stage interviews, round-tables, technology insights and vehicle displays, that it is exciting to me to bring back a forum that will enable fleets from to share intelligence, present best practices and compare notes with industry peers and experts. Hopefully after what has been a challenging year, this will be the perfect opportunity to help shape a better one for the sector in 2021.
