Welcome Welcome to Commercial GREENFLEET, the UK fleet sector's first online event for clean commercial vehicle innovation.

chaired by consultant experts that you can visit, as well as the easy-to-navigate exhibition area.

Never has there been a time in our lives when collaboration and 'pulling together' has been so poignant. Today's event is testament to that as we bring you Commercial GREENFLEET — Driving the Switch to Cleaner Commercial Fleets.

What are you waiting for? 'Hop in' and take part through the easy-to-use Chat facility and keep it Social - so Tweet and share on LinkedIn 'til your fingers and thumbs ache!

As with our other GREENFLEET events in 2020, this one has altered somewhat from our initial plans! The Covid-19 pandemic has affected and changed our daily lives in many ways and placed us all under harsh restrictions; yet as we adjust to the 'new normal', one thing remains; our presenters and their organisations and you and your business have come together to ensure that important clean air and transport projects continue and ultimately succeed and that Commercial GREENFLEET remains THE platform for the commercial fleet community to share the business case for cleaner transport operations . This stoicism highlights the passion and drive needed to make significant changes to the way fleets operate and above all else, the attitude required to make sure these changes last. So, as we say, grab a cuppa, sit back and let us do the work for YOU with Commercial GREENFLEET.

When posting, please tag GREENFLEET UK and GREENFLEET Events on LinkedIn and @GreenFleetNews on Twitter and use the #Hashtags #CommercialGREENFLEET, #CleanCommercials, #AirQuality, #FleetInnovation.

Thanks, once again, for joining us, we hope you have an enjoyable and informative event.

'Til next time...

Headline Sponsor Maxus (Harris Automotive Distributors) Manufactured by SAIC and distributed in the UK by Harris Automotive Distributors, MAXUS is leading the charge for greener motoring. With a focus on range, reliability, and versatility, and with customer service at the heart of the brand, MAXUS has become a firm favourite with business owners and fleet managers across the UK. 2020 has been an historic year for MAXUS and, having rebranded from its original LDV moniker in April, MAXUS launched the newest EV in the brand’s stable, the e DELIVER 3, which is the first van in the MAXUS portfolio that will not offer a diesel engine alternative.

Clocking up to 198miles /320km (NEDC) / (150 miles / 240km combined WLTP) on a single charge (52.5kWh battery), and coming in three variants with two wheelbase options, the e DELIVER 3 offers customers the pure driving experience. The eDELIVER3 joins its 'big brother' the EV80 in bringing an outstanding range of zero omission LCV options to fleet managers and business owners right across the country.

MAXUS is supported by an experienced, customerfocused nationwide dealership network. For more information: www.saicmaxus.co.uk. https://saicmaxus.co.uk

Sponsor The AA As the UK's most popular breakdown cover provider, the AA serves almost 10m business customers, in around three fifths of the UK's top 20 fleets.

Our 100% customer retention rate for major fleets is testament to the success of our business. And, we have once again been named Which?

Recommended Provider for breakdown cover, topping the table for direct and white label manufacturer cover in the prestigious Which? survey.

We have improved fleet operations for our customers by investing in front line support and technological innovations; repositioning as a technology and data-led organisation, while retaining our core values of courtesy, care, collaboration, dynamism,

and expertise. We operate 24/7/365 to keep organisations moving, across planned and unplanned downtime.

From roadside recovery through to service, maintenance, and repair; accident and incident management through to award-winning managed services, we put the driver first.

Most recently, we have combined our award-winning customer service team, contact centre and remote fix capabilities to deliver a digitally integrated managed service which drives value up the chain for EV drivers.

With several customers already on board for EV charge post customer support, the new product innovation is already helping to cement our position as a forward-thinking EV innovator. www.theaa.com/business

Exhibitor Forktruck Solutions We are a Forktruck & Material Handling Equipment dealership based in the North of England, founded in 1998, we've always been eager to explore the most innovative technology preferring to be pioneers rather than followers.

In 2020, we've come a long way since inefficient lead-acid batteries and non-sustainable fossil fuel powered forklift trucks & warehouse equipment. We offer a comprehensive range of Lithium powered forklift trucks, warehouse equipment and utility vehicles. Switching to a more environment friendly energy supply ensures your workers are less exposed to noxious gases & aims to reduce emissions in the workplace.

It’s safe to say, we have all recently had a wake-up call to the urgency related to natural resources, energy access & climate change. This has certainly helped us recognize the importance of sustainable energy solutions. We are here to encourage all material handling users to evolve with us to boost the acceleration of a low carbon future. Our mission is to steer this societal change in the material handling sector.

Our Lithium range cannot only improve productivity & efficiency but also reduce long term running costs, cutting spend on fuel & maintenance all at a similar price point to gas, diesel & traditional lead acid alternatives. www.forktrucksolutions.com/
