Logistics UK's Fleet Engineer – less than one week to go!


With less than one week until Logistics UK’s Fleet Engineer – the essential one-day conference for anyone responsible for maintaining commercial vehicles – the business group is urging fleet engineers to book their places now to ensure they are up to date with the latest developments in technology and enforcement.

Taking place at the British Motor Museum in Warwickshire on 7 September 2021, keynote speaker Kevin Rooney, the Traffic Commissioner for the West of England, will be explaining to attendees the consequences of failing to keep pace with vehicle technology, in addition to sharing some of the new practices that operators need to have put in place to improve their maintenance regimes.

The Enforcement Policy and Technical Standards Managers at the Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency (DVSA) will be providing an essential overview of the Agency’s approach to vehicle maintenance. They will be joined by leading names across the sector – including senior representatives from IVECO, Warburton, Volvo, Renault, BPW Limited, TIP Trailer Services, Royal Mail, TEXA UK Ltd, and Siemens Mobility – who will be sharing good practice advice and discussing alternative fuel options, new technologies, and anticipated vehicle design changes.

Phil Lloyd, Head of Engineering Policy at Logistics UK, comments: “Keeping pace with technological developments and enforcement policies is of vital importance to engineers; Logistics UK Fleet Engineer is an unmissable event for anyone with responsibility for specifying commercial vehicles, ensuring roadworthiness and compliance, and maintaining fleets. With less than one month to go, we are urging all fleet engineers to book now to avoid missing out.”

Event silver sponsors are VL Test Systems, Renault Trucks and Brigade Electronics and bronze sponsors are VARTA Batteries, UK Recovery (AA), Tip Europe and Totalkare.

The British Motor Museum is committed to prioritising the safety of its staff, volunteers and visitors; delegates are encouraged to wear face masks when not seated to protect against COVID-19 and hand sanitiser will be readily available.

To book your place, priced at £259.99 + VAT for Logistics UK members and £299.99 + VAT for non-members, please visit the link below.
