The growth of NEVs for both private and personal use is growing at a rapid pace, both internationally and locally. The CEO of MasterDrive, Eugene Herbert, says: “Naamsa reported an 88% year-on-year growth of NEVs for the third quarter of 2024. Social and political encouragement to transition fleets to NEVs means that organisations should be investigating their transition at the very least.

“The upcoming Workshop will bring together fleet managers, technology specialists, sustainability experts and financial analysts to explore the complete ecosystem of fleet electrification. These speakers and panellists will address critical topics from battery technology advancements to government incentives, while offering hands-on experience with the latest NEV technologies.”

Topics to be discussed:

  • Future of fleet electrification: strategic imperatives for 2025 and beyond.
  • Economic realities of fleet electrification illustrated with case studies.
  • A technological deep dive into ‘Performance, Reliability and Infrastructure’.
  • Sustainability, operational efficiency and the aftermarket.
  • A reflection on the ‘Roadmap to Successful Fleet Electrification’.
  • Further details on the date, location, topics and speakers will soon be released. If you would like to express your interest in attending now, follow this link to pre-apply: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/65K2HJK

The NEV Fleet Workshop will be an invaluable source of information for any organisation that recognises the role that fleet electrification will play in the future. “Whether you are just beginning on your NEV journey or taking the next step in building your new energy fleet, the workshop will undoubtedly be an essential aid in this,” Eugene says.
