During May, MasterDrive will host a New Energy Vehicle (NEV) Fleet Workshop where the topic will be delved into with great detail. While the exact date is yet to be confirmed, several experts will be coming together to unpack pertinent issues related to NEVs.
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:
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.
The latest Shanghai International Automobile Industry Exhibition clearly showed the worldwide shift towards new-energy drivetrains like battery electric vehicles (BEV) and plug-in hybrids (PHEVs).
Mazda has unveiled its EZ-60, an electric crossover SUV, the result of a joint venture between Mazda and Changan Automobile. It is the second electric vehicle (NEV) manufactured by Changan Mazda.
The Shanghai International Automobile Industry Exhibition currently underway in China is pretty much an electric affair with numerous new electric and hybrid vehicles with improved technology on show.
