Local authorities to get insights on EV charging tech and advice at next week’s GBFE show
Local authorities attending next week’s Great British Fleet Event will be able to access a wealth of advice on EV charging infrastructure and reveals of new technologies.
Catherine Bowen, senior policy advisor at the BVRLA, will outline how the organisation is working to help local authorities meet fleet charging needs
Highlights of the event – which runs on 29 March 2022 at Novotel London West – include a talk from Catherine Bowen, senior policy advisor at the BVRLA, on ‘Charging up the Fleet’. This feature a look at the wide array of fleet charging needs, available options and the challenges the sector is facing in order to keep zero-emission vehicles sufficiently fuelled.
The talk will also reveal some of the findings from the association’s new ‘Fleet Charging Guide’. With the roll-out of charging infrastructure increasingly being devolved to local government, the guide highlights some key fleet use cases and how they can best be supported on their zero-emission journey.
It’s one of a number of talks at the Great British Fleet Event’s Masterclass Conferences, which will cover hot topics ranging from sustainability, mobility, connected vehicles and electric vehicles. The vital issue of duty of care and risk management will also come under focus from a number of leading experts.
Further highlights include a reveal of newly launched HyperCharging technology – said to be the fastest and most powerful in the world.
Newly launched by UK-based Voltempo, HyperCharging provides the next generation of rapid electric vehicle charging infrastructure suitable for electric cars, vans, trucks, HGVs and buses. And it will be showcased at the event.
GBFE will also include a host of other insights at the exhibition section while the afternoon’s Great British Fleet Awards will also celebrate the best of corporate motoring in the UK, from fleet managers to suppliers and manufacture.
