Last chance to book for Logistics UK’s Next Generation Van Conference 

Fleets have a last chance to book up for Logistics UK’s Next Generation Van conference, which takes place next week.

The event will provide a range of practical advice and case studies for van operators

Hosted in Coventry on 11 July 2023, the conference will provide operators with the latest information and insights needed to meet upcoming challenges across the sector.

Attendees include Shadow Minister (Business and Industrial Strategy), Bill Esterson MP, who will speak in a session that examines progress on decarbonising commercial vehicles. He joins other industry experts who will provide updates on manufacturer supply and demand, as well as an HS2 project update in relation to anticipated disruptions, improvements and changes to the road network, and key trends across the sector.

Further decarbonisation related sessions will include a discussion on whether UK roads are ready for electric vehicle operations, a practical case study exploring fleet transition, and a focus on EV charging and using home charging for company vans.

Denise Beedell, senior policy manager at Logistics UK, said: “Vans play a crucial role within the logistics industry – and wider UK economy – and with the sector experiencing significant and rapid changes, the Next Generation Van conference provides a timely opportunity to keep up to date with the latest information. Whether you run a large national fleet or just one or two vans, I urge you to book your tickets now to find out how to ensure your future van operations remain as efficient as possible.”

The event is supported by Logistics UK’s Van Gold Partners: the AA, Brigade Electronics, Lex Autolease, TVL and Webfleet.
