INSIGHT
Here you will find links to papers from our speakers and other key reference sources containing useful information around this week’s theme.
Justin Laney, General Manager Fleet, John Lewis Partnership
Scope for optimism in times of change
John Lewis Partnership has made a big commitment for its fleet to become carbon neutral by 2030. Justin shares the challenges he faces to achieve this and why he is optimistic about the future.
Brian Robinson, Low Carbon Vehicle Partnership
The big picture of vehicle decarbonisation
As the UK government’s focus shifts from decarbonising cars to trucks, Brian discusses how the Avoid, Shift Improve framework can help operators in their decision-making.
Alan Hunt, Managing Director, UK and Ireland, Schmitz Cargobull
Only by embracing data will fleets get ahead of the curve
Data and telematics will drive the future of logistics. Trailers are no longer seen as just a simple box on wheels, but the data host providing valuable insight into vehicle performance as a whole.
Tom Southall, Policy Director, Cold Chain Federation
Decarbonising and reducing carbon emissions from temperature-controlled distribution
The key to a successful transition to low or zero emission refrigerated transport is an effective balance of regulation and incentives combined in a clear and dedicated road map for temperature-controlled transport.
Stephen Osman, Head Of Client Solutions EMEA, Procuro Euro Ltd
In his paper Stephen describes the power of digital technologies and the ways in which operators can harness this power in their businesses.
John Harkness, Marketing and Customer Services Manager, Smart Graphics
Sustainable choices for vehicle branding
Whilst the focus for operators is on vehicle efficiency and data, John reminds us that a sustainable choice for livery materials should not be ignored.
