Learn from leading industry experts about the latest developments in transport electrification and the importance of cross sector collaboration
With transportation accounting for more than a quarter of the UK’s greenhouse gas emissions, innovations in electrification across all areas of the sector will be key to enabling the UK to achieve its 2050 net zero ambitions.
Held to coincide with The Engineer’s “Sustainable Mobility” week – a week long programme of content focused low carbon transportation - this special panel discussion will bring together leading engineers from organisations including Ricardo, Rolls-Royce Plc, The Advanced Propulsion Centre and UKRI to discuss UK progress in electrification.
This session will explore the latest trends and technologies that are driving electrification across different sectors, examine the obstacles to electrification and consider the ways in which cross-sector collaboration can help overcome some of these challenges.
The discussion will be live streamed to registered viewers on the Big Marker platform and made available on demand post event.
