THE pan-European fleet industry will go under the spotlight at the Fleet News Europe Conference 2004.
Taking place at the Millennium Mayfair Hotel in London on February 17, 2004, it will cover a range of issues that attempt to separate fact from fiction, under the heading 'Revolution or Evolution? Separating fact from fiction in the pan-European fleet sector'
Experts from across the sector will provide a valuable insight into the latest boardroom thinking – stimulating debate and encouraging interaction with senior delegates from across the European fleet industry. Session topics will include European pricing and residual values, fleet legislation and transport and traffic policy.
