Herd Group will be at this month’s Great British Fleet Event to give real-world advice on overcoming electrification challenges

Recognising these concerns, Herd Group will be at this month’s Great British Fleet Event in Milton Keynes to give real-world advice on how fleets can overcome electrification challenges.

At the show, taking place on 16 April, the fleet management specialist will be on hand to share its expertise on how fleets can go electric while retaining proper control of their vehicles and without impacting the bottom line or downtime.

Herd Group has worked with many operators using its data-driven fleet management solutions to give accurate guidance on whether they are ready to transition elements of their operations to electric, backed by detailed cost analyses that compare electric versus diesel and incorporate charging and infrastructure requirements, and maintenance over time.

The firm’s broad portfolio of EV support is underpinned by comprehensive, tailored commercial vehicle solutions, including flexible van/car rental, full-service fleet management, vehicle maintenance and remarketing services under the Herd Synergy brand – providing a comprehensive roadmap for the EV switch.

Fleets attending GBFE 2026 at Arena MK will be able to tap into Herd’s business acumen to find out how to manage the eLCV transition and pivot it to a controlled, cost-efficient strategy that actually outperforms the traditional diesel model.

Operators heading to the show will also be able to glean a host of other essential insights – including tapping into a specialist seminar that will address critical safety and compliance gaps facing the sector.

Fleets attending the show will also be able to hear from a diverse line-up of other industry leaders across four additional, dedicated Masterclass sessions.
