With fuel costs back in the headlines, businesses are under renewed pressure to manage the cost of transport, deliveries and fleet operation

With fuel costs back in the headlines, businesses are under renewed pressure to manage the cost of transport, deliveries and fleet operations. From reducing fuel consumption today to considering longer-term alternatives, there are practical steps businesses can take to improve efficiency, control costs and cut carbon emissions.

Join us for a practical webinar bringing together businesses and industry experts to explore how organisations can respond.

Hear real-world examples from businesses working to reduce diesel use across their transport and fleet operations, alongside insight into improving the fuel efficiency of existing vans and trucks. We’ll also explore where electric vehicles, e-trucks and supporting technologies could play a role and what businesses should consider when planning the transition.

The session will cover:

  • Practical ways to reduce fuel consumption and improve fleet efficiency
  • Real-world examples from businesses already taking action
  • The electric vehicles, e-trucks and EV technology opportunity
  • The outlook for fuel costs and what it could mean for businesses

Whether you manage a fleet, oversee transport costs or are looking for ways to deliver your organisation’s sustainability ambitions, this session will provide practical ideas and insight to help you identify the right next steps for your business.
