CALLING UK FLEET PROFESSIONALS…
JOIN US FOR THE STRATEGIZE SURGERY SESSIONS!
The GREENFLEET NET ZER0 ROADHSOW is back, and with it comes a format that gives fleet professionals the chance to have in-depth conversations with experts that have the solutions to help them on their journey to net zero.
We begin with a networking breakfast, followed by keynote sessions from the likes of OZEV/DfT, SMMT, ChargeUK, National Highways and Association of Fleet Professionals (AFP). There’s live Q&As, solutions presentations and case studies, with our partners, covering ‘Net Zero Fleet Strategies’, ‘Leasing, Financing & Salary Sacrifice’, with BVRLA, ‘Freight & Commercial Vehicles’, with Zemo, ‘Charging & Infrastructure’ and ‘Telematics & Technology’, with Cenex. Supported by fleet professionals, that have already begun their journey, we will be able to highlight the pitfalls that lie ahead, and the solutions to overcome them!
Following the plenary will be a networking refreshment break, and we will also provide a buffet lunch too. And the main focus of the day will be the STRATEGIZE Surgeries...
We are providing multiple breakout rooms, hosted by independent experts and solutions experts, with each covering a subject that is critical to the successful transition to a cleaner fleet. Delegates get to pick and choose the Surgeries that will be of most use to them, join the group and engage in a 45-minute session, in a relaxed and informative setting.
Sound good? Then all you need to do now is RESERVE YOUR FREE PLACE!
We are delighted to confirm that the host for GREENFLEET LIVE! 2025 is Rochdale Borough Council.
Join us on 02 October at their newly refurbished town hall - The perfect place to host the event, as it boasts many of its own green credentials, including the fact that it is one of the first Grade 1 listed buildings in the country to have implemented decarbonisation measures to reduce its carbon footprint including installing an air sourced heat pump. Also, LED lighting inside and out and other enhancements ensure our magnificent building has been futureproofed for the changing climate.
Hear from the council themselves, together with the latest from Greater Manchester Combined Authority.

Electrification
Electrification of UK fleets is well under way, and we will showcase where we are and what’s around the corner. Commercial vehicle electrification is a hot topic and will form part of the discussion, as will the charging and infrastructure required to make electric fleets a more viable option.
Finance & Leasing
With change comes cost. The financing of the vehicles required to make the fleet cleaner, plus the changes to the workplace and facilities too. Outright purchase is not the perfect solution for everyone, especially for businesses with smaller budgets and revenue. Let’s look at leasing!
Predictive Diagnostics & AI
Using the very latest in innovative technology when managing ‘vehicle off road time’ is now possible. Providing real-time engine and battery insights and sending notifications about potential disruptions assists fleet operations personnel. The ability to understand the vehicle's maintenance needs, identifying issues before they become costly repairs, can result in large savings.
Payment Solutions
Contactless Bank Cards… RFID cards… Mobile Apps… Roaming platforms… Key Fobs… QR Codes. Exhausting right? Making the right choice for YOUR business is crucial to efficiency. We help you navigate through the options and make an informed decision on what works best.
Salary Sacrifice
With huge benefits to both the employer AND the employee, salary sacrifice is fast-becoming the best way to embrace EVs. Cheaper than standard leasing, with tax benefits too, these schemes often come with bundled services, making it all-round better for the business.
Technology & Optimisation
It’s all well and good having vehicles that emit zero from the tailpipe, but managing them efficiently is another thing altogether. Maintenance, driver performance and safety, inspections and much more all a major factor in any strategy.
HGV & Frieght
The movement of takes planning. It requires the right goods vehicle for the right job. How do you break down the journey from depot to depot, hub to hub? What are the last-mile requirements and opportunities. All of this, and more, will be discussed over 3 info-packed surgery sessions.
Workplace & Depot Charging
Providing accessible, reliable, and convenient charging solutions can help transition to more sustainable transportation. We’ll cover the implementation of workplace, depot and public charging in a session that will guide you through the processes required.
Devising a Strategy
No matter what stage you are at with your fleet transition strategy, there are still decisions to be made. Speaking to independent experts AND fleet professionals that are already well on their way to operating a net zero fleet can help. This session is for anyone that needs advice and guidance, at any level.
*Surgery topics and content are subject to possible change. Please come back for regular updates.
The ‘Vehicle Showcase’ at GREENFLEET Live!
We are delighted to confirm there will be a range of vehicles on show at the event.
The latest in electric car technology will be available for test drive. If you operate LCVs, there will be all-electric vans, across all segments.
