‘Challenge’ was the word on everyone’s lips at last week’s Industry Outlook Conference. Featuring industry leaders sharing their insights on the challenges of 2024 and expectations for 2025, the conference included thought-provoking keynotes, dynamic panel discussions and interactive breakout sessions.

The vehicle rental and leasing sector is seeing its optimism and enthusiasm for 2025 shackled by tax rises on top of regulatory and ZEV Mandate uncertainty. That is according to the BVRLA’s latest Industry Outlook Report, which shows that members are expecting somewhat of a ‘Jekyll and Hyde’ year in 2025. 

Technology is the driving force behind efficiency, innovation, and future success. But what does this mean for members?

The BVRLA’s 2024 Industry Outlook Conference will feature over 25 leading speakers and a packed agenda designed to deliver the latest insights, trends, and strategies for the mobility industry, as well as the opportunity to connect with industry leaders.

What members see as their biggest challenges going into next year will be dissected by senior leaders at next month’s Industry Outlook Conference. The member-only event will open with a detailed look at the findings from the BVRLA’s 2025 Industry Outlook Survey, assessing what it means for vehicle rental and leasing.
