This week is an important one for the UK Fleet and automotive community, as we meet at the BVRLA’s Fleets in Charge conference to discuss and debate how we can support the UK’s transport decarbonisation programme. I will be speaking on the ‘Retail in Detail’ panel alongside other key players in this sector, as we try to address topics such as how to ensure EV adoption among not only companies but also consumers in the UK, what it would take to boost confidence in electric vehicle technology among retail users and what all stakeholders – including policymakers in our new Govt – can do to drive this transformation across a wider demographic in the UK. As our industry grapples with the many challenges and opportunities related to EV adoption, this is a great opportunity to get stakeholders together to share ideas and experiences – and I look forward to an educational and informational day. https://lnkd.in/eknG7dXp #FleetsInCharge BVRLA Toby Poston Sarah McArthur

1moLakshmi Moorthy this is our SIXTH (where has the time gone?) #Fleetsincharge conference, but the most important yet, I feel. There is so much going on and so many issues to get to grips with. There are so many perspectives to share from our wonderful industry, and some very passionate and diverse opinions. But the important thing is that we are all focussed on the same goal. BVRLA is proud to be standing with you and all our other members at the cutting edge of carbon reduction!
