Session A: Change the way you manage deliveries – workshop – LOCATION: Charter 3
This workshop will explain what a Delivery and Servicing Plan (DSP) is and how to implement one across your organisation. DSPs can be effective for large operations, such as local authority waste collection, through to small retailers looking for a cleaner, cheaper way to get goods out to market. The benefits of adopting a DSP include: lower operating costs; improved air quality; better security of deliveries and servicing; and corporate social responsibility objectives. Find out the steps involved for creating your own DSP.
Workshop presenter: Charlotte Knell, Project Manager, Cross River Partnership
Session B: The Future of Urban Trucks and Transport – panel debate – LOCATION Charter 1
How are the manufacturers of trucks, trailers and technology leading the way and meeting the challenges of delivering in the urban environment? As the legislative environment is consistently evolving, we will debate how policy makers can work with OEMs, and vice-versa, to incentivise better development and encourage the adoption of cleaner, safer and more efficient vehicles and technology.
