Logistics UK Virtual Transport Manager - one month to go


There is only one month to go until Logistics UK’s Virtual Transport Manager event, which takes place on Friday 29 November.

Virtual Transport Manager enables transport managers from across the country to take advantage of all the information and guidance available at Logistics UK’s live Transport Manager conferences, even if they are unable to attend in person.

Virtual Transport Manager will cater for those who cannot travel to an in-person event, whether due to location, time or business pressures, or who don’t have time for all the sessions in one go.

The virtual one-day conference will follow the same format as the in-person events currently being held around the country and will provide the information and guidance on legislation which the industry-leading conferences are renowned for.

Kevin Green, Logistics UK’s Director of Policy, said: “We appreciate some people are unable to attend a one day conference in person for one reason or another.

"However, it is vital that transport managers ensure they keep up to date with the latest regulations and compliance information, so as with the in-person events, Virtual Transport Manager 2024 will provide all the briefing information they need.”

Transport Manager is a recognised Continuing Professional Development (CPD) event, and attendees will receive a certificate evidencing their attendance, whether they attend in person or virtually. CPD is a term used to describe the learning activities professionals engage in to develop, enhance and maintain their abilities.

Logistics UK is delighted to have secured the involvement of the Traffic Commissioners for the whole series, both virtual and live.

Other sessions will include the Transport Manager calendar, a compliance update, GSR and ADAS systems, the legal responsibilities of a transport manager, revision of the Transport Manager CPC syllabus, transport managers in a connected and autonomous world, driver focus: finding and keeping the best, and a session by the Metropolitan Police on dealing with fatal incidents and collision investigation.

News In Brief

DHL and IAG Cargo solidify partnership to drive sustainable air freight

DHL Express and DHL Global Forwarding have renewed their contract with IAG Cargo, the cargo handling division of International Airlines Group (IAG), to use an additional 60 million litres of sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) on behalf of DHL.

The new contract covers 2024 and 2025 emissions and will result in a reduction of greenhouse gas emissions of approximately 165,000 metric tons of CO2e.

The annual emissions reduction would be equivalent to removing a B747-400 freighter from DHL's intercontinental operations from the UK to US - which makes the partnership the largest SAF agreement between an airline and a customer to date and underlines DHL's leading role in sustainable air freight solutions.

Alexandra Herdman, Logistics UK Senior Policy Manager said: “DHLs’ continued commitment to driving sustainability within the aviation industry demonstrates how the logistics sector is committed to decarbonising.

“The aviation sector is notoriously hard to decarbonise and agreements such as this will help reduce the amount of carbon offsetting that is expected to be required to meet the 2050 target.

“Promoting the use of sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) is paramount, and we are calling on government for tax incentives for purchasing and using SAF to make it more competitive.”
