GF SCOTLAND
The MISSION ZERO roadshow that will CONNECT and ENERGISE Scotland
Widely regarded across the UK as having an EV charging network to be truly envious of, Scotland has the most established and operational national infrastructure project out there. With an on-going future-proofing programme in full swing, including upgrades and new installations, e-mobility in Scotland is feasible, even in the remotest parts.
2024 sees GREENFLEET Scotland return for the 16th consecutive year. First staged in 2009, and supported by Transport Scotland, the ‘partnership’ has helped shape cleaner fleets across Scotland. But there is still much to be done, and we will now take our unique event ‘on the road’, giving more Scottish businesses the opportunity to join us, engage, learn and then return to the workplace, energised and ready to implement a strategy that will help future-proof any fleet operation.
Join Us in Edinburgh on 19th August (Murrayfield Stadium, EH12 5PJ), Dundee on 20th (APEX Hotel, DD1 3JP) or Inverness on 21st (Glen Mohr Hotel, IV2 4SG) and share strategy ideas, pick up tips and knowledge and formulate your net zero fleet plans.
We begin with a networking breakfast, followed by keynote sessions from Transport Scotland, Scottish Motor Trade Association (SMTA), ChargePlace Scotland and Association of Fleet Professionals (AFP). There’s live Q&As, solutions presentations and case studies with our partners when you will hear about multi-modal decarbonisation, with Logistics UK and a new key policy roadmap for the decarbonisation of road transport with Zemo Partnership. Supported by fleet professionals, that have already begun their journey, we will be able to highlight the pitfalls that lie ahead along with the solutions to overcome them!
In between will be a networking refreshment break, plus a buffet lunch at a table hosted by an expert, there really is only one place you need to be in August so RESERVE YOUR FREE PLACE NOW!

The Format
GREENFLEET Scotland – Taking Mission Zero to Scottish Business
After consultation with Transport Scotland, we have decided a ‘Roadshow’ approach to the events in 2024 will help engage more Scottish businesses, in more places, than ever before.
Staged across 3 x cities, and culminating in the EV Rally of Scotland (EVROS), we will begin in *Edinburgh on Mon 19 August, moving to Dundee on Tues 20 and finishing in Inverness on Weds 21. Each day will be headlined by Transport Scotland who will outline their ‘Mission Zero’ strategy, how it affects Scottish business and what help and assistance is out there.
Each of the 3 cities will also be represented by their respective local authority, and also local businesses that have already begun their e-mobility journey, with case studies. We’re keeping it local and regional, as we go, and will provide solutions along the way too!
Format: A morning of engaging presentations, followed by open round table discussions and interactive Q&As. Lunch will finish the proceedings each day and everyone will leave before the afternoon rush hour. A win-win!
