A free-to-attend webinar aimed at HGV and van operators exploring the route they need to take on their journey to decarbonise their fleet.

It will help you understand the UK government’s strategy in reaching its ambition of net zero carbon emissions by 2050, and what this means for CV fleets.

Leading manufacturers and fleet operators will bring the latest technology to life, from drop-in biofuels and renewable natural gas, through to electric and hydrogen fuel cells.
