Welcome to Commercial GREENFLEET 2021 As we head towards the shorter days of Autumn, GF365 continues to shine bright and we are delighted to bring you the second instalment of Commercial GREENFLEET 2021. Last year was (for obvious reasons) a quieter time for ‘new-to-launch’ low carbon emission and electric vans and freight but 2021 is witnessing some fascinating, exciting and realistic product launches that are viable options for your cleaner commercial fleets. And for this reason, we could think of no one more suitable to be your host today than electric van enthusiast, expert and all-round EV egghead, Paul Kirby. Paul has more than 12,000 followers on LinkedIn and many of you with us today will be his avid fans, following his insightful posts and leveraging his expertise and wide-ranging knowledge on all that is relevant to the commercial fleet sector.
The ‘electric’ offerings are plated up before we move on to what is always a key topic of conversation, Infrastructure & Charging. And new for Commercial GREENFLEET is the extended Q&A panel session. This gives you the opportunity to chat and listen to senior leads from top government and private organisations whom have all bases covered to get your clean commercial fleet on track. So, grab a cuppa, sit back and be sure to join the Commercial GREENFLEET conversation. Ask your questions using the Q&A tab, chat to colleagues and if you are ‘Social’, make sure you tag #commercialGREENFLEET in your posts. Above all else, have a great morning with us and let us do the work for YOU.
Colin Boyton, Events manager GF365 & GREENFLEET Events
Today to guide you through a wealth of speakers and experts, Paul will set the Policy & Strategy scene along with keynotes from OZEV, UK100 and Logistics UK. Then to cover Renewables, who better to bring you the latest than insiders from the Renewable Energy Association, Gas Vehicle Network and UK HFCA.
