The BVRLA regularly gathers experts from across membership and beyond to spark discussion as part of its programme of specialist forums. Insights on Residual Value and Remarketing (RVR) and Vehicle and Fleet Management (VFM) equip attendees to tackle any challenges coming down the tracks.
To be held at GWM ORA in Solihull on Thursday 13 June, the next RVR Forum will feature a session on what the car parc is going to look like in 2025, following the first full year of the ZEV Mandate and the influx of new manufacturers. Indicata will lead the session and examine what this means for residual values.
Rachael Jones from Auto Trader will provide an update on changing consumer habits, retailer stock movements, and pricing, comparing these trends to the traditional ICE space on both new and used vehicles.
An economic update will follow from Owen Edwards of Grant Thornton. The detailed session will look at what is happening with interest rates and inflation, consumer propensity to spent, and the impact of the General Election.
Falling the week before the RVR session, the VFM Forum will take place at Toyota in Derbyshire on Thursday 6 June. The June agenda present an exploration into the latest advancements in vehicle technology. Discussions will delve into the future of autonomous and connected vehicles, developments in accident management, and the impact of electric vehicles on our roads and environment.
Delegates will also hear from industry experts representing the SMMT, i247, Fleet Assist and FMG about the emerging technologies shaping the future of transportation.
Attending the BVRLA’s forums requires an annual subscription fee. A limited number of spots are still available and can be secured via the RVR Forum page or VFM Forum page. Each subscription grants a member two tickets to each forum.
