Following last year’s successful event, Fleet News has announced the launch of its second Sustainable Mobility Week, taking place in September.
Sustainable mobility aims to make the movement and transportation of people, goods and services efficient and rational from an economic, social and environmental point of view, based on the following principles and priorities:
- Greenest
- Safest
- Cheapest
- Most convenient
- Quickest
- Most inclusive
With companies facing increasing pressure to demonstrate gains in the areas of sustainable mobility and decarbonisation, Sustainable Mobility Week offers a platform for fleet and mobility managers to gain a better understanding of the benefits of implementing sustainable mobility, as well as the challenges of doing so.
A range of reports, video interviews, and also a webinar featuring industry experts will run during the week of the event across the Fleet News website and social media.
This five-day event is in association with Alphabet, Drax, Novuna, Omoda, Quartix, and Zenith. Last year's event took place in November but has moved to September 15-19 for this year.

Day 5: Implementing a change policy
Featuring advice on operating models, considerations and changes required when migrating to a more sustainable fleet. With recommendations on how business models can be changed in different sectors.
Stephen Briers, Fleet News editor, said: “We’ve been talking about mobility and sustainability for several years, but progress has been slow. However, there are many market innovations and new initiatives being adopted by fleets which is helping them to run more efficient and effective operations.
“We know that sustainable mobility means something different to everyone. Sustainable Mobility Week is an opportunity for fleet operators to explore innovative solutions, adopt best practice, understand what it means and promote their commitment to sustainability, ultimately benefiting operations and strengthening your position in the market.”
