GF CYMRU

November 2020 saw the UK Government bring forward the step towards net-zero, marking the end of sale of new petrol and diesel cars by 2030, with all new cars and vans to be fully zero emission at the tailpipe from 2035.

We understand that Ultra-Low Emission Vehicles (ULEVs) have a significant role to play in cleaning up the air. Alongside the UK government strategy, there is some hard work to be done by every organisation that operates a fleet of any kind, be it large or small, and for this reason we are here to help with GF CYMRU.

The perfect one-stop-shop – Register Now!

With the support of our top-flight Partners, Welsh Government, Transport for Wales and Office for Zero Emission Vehicles, this event highlights current, new and updated regulations and policies to help make the move to zero-emission vehicles smooth, cost-effective and simple. At the same time, solutions providers will drill down into the purchasing decisions suitable for you, your fleets, your infrastructure and your project goals.

LIVE STREAM Q&A’s will have your questions answered and place you (virtually) face-to-face with some of the most influential people in the net-zero arena. At the same time, our events feature Live Polls, meaning YOU have the chance to help shape the future of the UK fleet sector, moving forwards. You also get to interact with your colleagues and peers, using our Interactive Chat function too.

And it’s not just about the vehicles. The right charging and infrastructure, a feasible financial plan and having staff trained up to the latest standards will all be covered, leaving you secure in the knowledge that you are not alone!

So, if you are responsible for FLEET/TRANSPORT, FACILITIES/BUILDING, FINANCE and TRAINING REGISTER NOW for GF CYMRU and get involved in the conversation.
