Andrew Miller, CEO at one of the country’s largest fleet operators Motability Operations, will deliver a keynote speech at the BVRLA’s Fleets in Charge Conference on 20 September.

In a presentation entitled ‘Enabling a just transition’, Miller will explain how the company knows and understands the difficulties disabled people face in transitioning to EVs and the need to make sure electrification works for them.

Motability Operations is undertaking a wide range of activities to support customers through the transition. This spans large-scale pricing support and investment in electrification through to pilots on crowd-sourced reviewing and grid balancing, amongst others.

He will touch on the learnings made through these activities and share insights for delegates to take away and put into practice themselves.

The other three keynote speakers at the conference are:

  • Maria Bengtsson, Partner at EY, who will take stock of UK and global progress to zero-emission transport
  • Sebastien Albertus, Director at Europcar Mobility Group, sharing a blueprint for rental decarbonisation and how consumer habits are changing
  • Lakshmi Moorthy, Managing Director at Arval UK, exploring what solutions are arising to ensure used EV sales, charging infrastructure and van fleets can keep up.

The full-day event will also feature a Masterclass: Going local with EV Charging and three panel discussions with a host of expert voices and spokespeople.

Panels include the Great zero-emission freight debate, Cheerful about charging?, and Retail in detail.

The one-day conference will take place at the QEII conference centre in London on Wednesday, 20 September. Official partners for Fleets in Charge in 2023 are The AA, Arval UK, Auto Trader, Dynamon, Fleet Assist and Mina.

Transport + Energy is the official media partner.

Physical tickets are available to buy online now, with BVRLA members benefiting from a discounted rate.
