The UK’s transition to Net Zero will only be achieved if complementary sectors are able to come together. For road transport to play its part in that transition, the relationship between the transport and energy sectors must be stronger than ever.
Both sectors will come together as part of the Transport+Energy Forum on 21 November, with the BVRLA forming part of the agenda. Alongside other trade associations working across all sectors, the BVRLA will outline the progress made by members to date, while highlighting where barriers to decarbonisation can be overcome with the support of local authorities and decision makers at all levels.
Toby Poston, BVRLA Director of Corporate Affairs, said: “The move towards a cleaner, greener transport network is one of the biggest challenges being faced by our members and their customers. The public and private sectors must collaborate fully if the right solutions are to be put in place. Key decision makers need to be in constant contact to meet the ambitions of fleets, private drivers, industry, and government alike.
“The T+E Forum does a brilliant job in facilitating that. It is where two of the biggest sectors impacting the transition collide. Working in silos will not get us where we need to be. We are excited to be part of the forum this year and are optimistic that it will help drive the right conversations around the UK’s road to decarbonisation.”
