🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 GREENFLEET SCOTLAND IS BACK! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 Get plugged in and power up wi’ us!  Mission Zero Roadshow: Sparking Scotland’s Electric Future  Widely regarded as the brightest spark in the UK for its EV charging network, Scotland shines with an enviable and extensive infrastructure. With ongoing upgrades and new installations, e-mobility is lighting up even the most remote areas. 2024 marks the 16th year of GREENFLEET Scotland, which first charged up in 2009 with backing from Transport Scotland. This electrifying partnership has powered cleaner fleets across Scotland, but according to government officials like Dundee City Council and Highland Council, there’s still plenty of juice left in the journey! Now, we’re taking our high-voltage event on the road, giving more Scottish businesses the chance to plug in, power up, and roll out strategies that will future-proof their fleet operations. Join us in Edinburgh on 19th of  August, Dundee on 20th of August, or Inverness on 21st of August to ignite your strategy, gather bright ideas, and charge up your net-zero fleet plans. Find the likes of Lorna McAtear (National Grid), Catherine Bowen (BVRLA), Alexandra Herdman (Logistics UK) and Jonathan Murray (Zemo Partnership) on our expert speaker panel. We’ll kick off with a buzzing networking breakfast, followed by illuminating keynote sessions from Transport Scotland, THE SCOTTISH MOTOR TRADE ASSOCIATION LTD., ChargePlace Scotland, and the Association of Fleet Professionals (AFP). Expect live Q&As, solution showcases, and case studies with our partners, where you’ll get the lowdown on multi-modal decarbonisation with Logistics UK and a new policy roadmap for road transport decarbonisation from Zemo Partnership. With insights from fleet professionals who’ve already juiced up their operations, we’ll highlight the bumps in the road ahead and the solutions to zap them away! It’s just a wee bit excitin’!

🚗 Join us for the third seminar of the Festival of Sustainable Business Conference on 14th March at The Bristol Hotel: The EV Charging Infrastructure Revolution, kindly sponsored by Bevan Brittan LLP. 🔋With the rising demand for EVs, we discuss the practicalities of EV installation and the low emission vehicle infrastructure (LEVI) strategy. This is a framework designed to support local authorities in England to plan and deliver charging infrastructure for residents without off-street parking. We also explore EV charging capacity requirements and the key requirements landowners (incl. local authorities) should consider when preparing to install EV charging infrastructure. Hear from our range of industry experts: ⚡ Katharine Marshall, Area Sales and Delivery Manager, Tesla ⚡ Simon Boyes, Senior Associate Solicitor, Bevan Brittan LLP ⚡ Bethan Lloyd, Partner, Bevan Brittan LLP ⚡ Ben Whitaker, Chief Technical Officer, Kerbo Charge ⚡ John Lewis, CEO, char.gy 🎟️ Tickets are more affordable than ever this year - grab yours now: https://bit.ly/3HRzsws #Sustainable #Transportation #EV #Future #Conference #Infrastructure #Electric #Vehicle #Tesla #FoSB2024 #FutureLeap #Networking #Bristol #Charge #Speakers #Sponsors #Bristol #Seminars #Opportunities #Local #Festival #Carbon #Neutral #SouthWest #Tickets #ESG

With the upcoming launch of the new Low Emission Zones (LEZs) in Aberdeen, Dundee and Edinburgh, it has never been more important for Scottish businesses to understand how these zones will impact their fleets, and how they can support their transition to EV. 🚗🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 According to a 2023 survey conducted by Webfleet, cost pressures prompted 76% of UK-fleet managers to postpone their transition to EV. 💰 We believe that cost shouldn’t stand in the way of your business's Net Zero goals. That’s why our FOR Fleets service takes care of all upfront costs to help deliver long-term savings, allowing your business to embark on its EV journey. 🛣 Find out more about how we can support your fleets transition to EV here: https://lnkd.in/ehqHdrsU Read the full Insider article on Scotland's newly launched LEZs at: https://lnkd.in/eJfimXpf

⚡ 911 new charging points for electric vehicles in Europe! 🇪🇺🚘🔌 GreenWay has become one of the four operators tasked with building charging infrastructure for electric vehicles along key corridors of the TEN-T road network. 🔋 Alongside Allego, Emobility Solutions and Petrol Group, we will install up to 911 high-performance charging points for both light and heavy-duty vehicles at 239 locations as part of the cross-border project CROSS-E. 💵 Total investments will reach 130 million euros, with 34.45 million euros covered by a grant from the European Union. 🌱 CROSS-E aims not only to develop charging infrastructure but also to reduce waiting times at busy locations and support the adoption of electric vehicles. The project, scheduled for completion in October 2026, will strengthen cross-border connections and create the first corridors for electric freight vehicles. Join us on the journey to a cleaner future! 🌍🔌 🔗 Learn more about the project at https://kont.ly/961f2c90. #emobility #europecharginginfrastructure #CROSSeProject

Midlands Connect to investigate decarbonising its canal network. Sub-national transport body Midlands Connect has announced plans for a network of electric chargepoints along canals in its region within the next 20 years. The organisation is researching the sustainable potential of narrowboats, which often use the Worcester and Birmingham Canal, Droitwich Canals and Staffordshire and Worcestershire Canal. Electric narrowboating is currently a niche proposition with only a few pilot trials, but Midlands Connect Engine believes electric-powered boats could become more ubiquitous. Mains chargers are currently limited to marinas and some permanent moorings but forecasts suggest that by 2040 an effective network of charging points will be required along the canal network. Midlands Connect’s head of new technologies, Bharat Pathania said, “All forms of transport are evolving to become more sustainable, and this will include our canals. Our aim is to identify the building blocks that need to be in place to affect positive influence on the decarbonisation of our canals... https://buff.ly/47xbRvq #decarbonisation #Sustainability #Decarbonise #zeroemissions #canals #midlands

🚘 Bremen is piloting the first step towards a city-wide network of shared electric vehicles 🔌 How can a city reduce carbon emissions, air pollution, and private car reliance all in one go? Fleets of shared electric vehicles is one option being explored by the city of Bremen in COPPER. They aim to answer a big question for European cities aiming for sustainable electric mobility: As shared EVs are moved and charged in different places across the day, how can cities and DSOs ensure local grids can support the additional strain? Working closely with cambio CarSharing Deutschland and local DSO Wesernetz, Bremen will install and monitor charging infrastructure for a pilot fleet of electric vehicles.  The municipality will collect data on the local grid and mobility patterns, helping them create one of Europe’s first mobility-centred Local Energy Action Plans (LEAP). Their LEAP will support them with decisionmaking for any future plans to take electric shared mobility city-wide. Learn more about the other pilots in the COPPER initiative ➡ https://lnkd.in/d5FzA4DE
