The start point for the best source of fleet information |
Fuel choice and emissions are set to be the focus of the 2018 ICFM Annual National Members' Conference.
The event, entitled Fuel for the Future, the Emissions Dilemma, will also celebrate 25 years of ICFM.
It takes place on 20 March at the British Motor Museum in Gaydon, Warwickshire, and is sponsored by Jaguar Land Rover.
Speakers will include Dale Eynon, director of DEFRA Group Fleet Service - Environment Agency; Stewart Lightbody, head of fleet services for Anglian Water; Alison Moriarty, fleet risk and compliance manager for Skanska; Rupert Pontin, director of valuations for Cazana, and Tony Greenidge, business development director for IAM Roadsmart.
The celebrity guest speaker will be former Scotland rugby union captain Gavin Hastings.
Topics to be covered at the conference will include vehicle procurement, blended fleet vehicle deployment, residual values, the impact of fuel choice and emissions on occupational road risk and vehicle choice, and the driving skills required to take to the road in new models.
The event will also include the presentation of awards to fleet decision-makers who have successfully completed ICFM training courses.
ICFM director Peter Eldridge said: "Fleet decision-makers are facing more changes today than in the past 25 years.
"The evolution of the sector is becoming ever more rapid and without the skills that ICFM training provides, and the ability to quiz industry experts, fleet chiefs could find themselves making poor decisions that will impact on the operating efficiency and effectiveness of their vehicles and businesses."
The conference will address challenges facing fleets including vehicle taxation, WLTP testing, Clean Air Zones, the General Data Protection Regulation, the rise of mobility-as-a-service and Brexit.
ICFM chairman Paul Hollick said: "In recent years fleets have broadly continued to 'do what they have always done' because there has been no 'big bang', but that changes in 2018.
"There will be 'big bangs' aplenty in 2018, which will, I believe, be a watershed year in the history of fleet."
