EV & Low CO2 Fleet Show confirms main sponsor
The Energy Saving Trust has been named as the lead sponsor for April’s EV & Low CO2 Fleet Show.
Opening on 18 April at Silverstone racing circuit in Northamptonshire, the free one day event will aim to promote the benefits and advantages of electric, hybrid and other low carbon vehicles to fleet decision makers.
Nigel Underdown, Head of Transport Advice with the Energy Saving Trust, explained why the organisation was so keen to be involved.
“The EV & Low CO2 Fleet Show is the perfect opportunity for us to share that with fleet decision makers keen to embrace a new generation of vehicles but not sure how well they will fit within their businesses,” he said.
“This year is a really important year for electric vehicles and, while grants were launched last year, we now have more products, more infrastructure, new grants for vans and a much better understanding of how the business case for EVs stands up.”
Enormous potential
Ross Durkin, MD of Fleet World magazine – organisers of the event – described the Energy Saving Trust as “the perfect organisation to back the new event”.
He added: “This year’s EV and Low CO2 Fleet Show will allow company decision makers to evaluate all the options for their fleets by talking to the industry’s leading experts in this field.
“There’s enormous potential for EVs in the fleet sector – traditionally the earliest adopters of new vehicle technology.”
Durkin concluded saying that the EST would play a key role in delivering up-to-date information to visitors on all the other technologies currently available.
The EV & Low CO2 Fleet Show opens on Wednesday 18 April at Silverstone’s Wing conference and event facility.
Tickets are free to all fleet operators. Visit evfleetshow.co.uk for more details.
