About
How do you ensure you have the best vans to meet your fleet's needs? This session unpacks the decision-making process that leading fleet operators go through to ensure they operate light commercial vehicles which are fit for purpose, control costs, align with operational needs and sustainability obligations and meet driver needs in terms of design and functionality. We’ll explore what ‘good’ looks like, how Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) works, and how to secure strong supplier terms.

We’ll also examine how combining alternative fuels, such as biofuels, HVO, CNG, with electric and hydrogen technologies, can accelerate the journey to decarbonisation while maintaining flexibility and meeting service delivery requirements.

If you can’t attend live, register now, and we’ll send you the on-demand recording later.
