Today, you join us in the convenient commuter town of Dartford where we have put together a day full of everything you need to implement a clean fleet strategy. We kick things off with some keynote presentations courtesy of our event partners Office for Zero Emission Vehicles, Society of Motor Manufacturers & Traders and National Grid, covering everything from EV supply, the growing charging and infrastructure network in the UK and the grants and loans available to cut the cost of switching to a cleaner, more efficient fleet. The morning session also welcomes UK100 explaining the latest ULEZ changes in London and what these could mean for your fleet overheads, as well as Transport East as it launches the region’s innovative transport strategy.

With the event designed to make sure you get everything you need to make an educated decision on your next step to a ULEV fleet, we are confident you’re in the right place.

National Grid National Grid may be a wellknown name, but there are often misconceptions as to what we actually do. We own the Electricity Transmission in England and Wales, as well as the Gas Transmission for the whole of Great Britain. In more relatable terms, this means that we own the Motorways and Dual Carriageways of the energy system, where the local A and B roads are run by Regional Distribution Networks; hence we are critical to keeping the lights on and the gas flowing. National Grid does not buy, sell, or generate electricity, we simply transport it from where it’s made
to where it’s consumed. We obviously share the target of net zero by 2050, are confident about meeting this target. In this vein of sustainability, we are aware that as the Transmission Owner, we have an essential role when it comes to the electric vehicle charging infrastructure in the UK. National Grid can cope with 100% EVs and having the right ‘future proof’ grid capacity at the right location ahead of need is key to success for charge point owners. National Grid is the enabler of the low carbon transport future, and we see collaboration ensuring this ‘managed transition’ to clean transport.
