AV/EV symposium in Northland

A symposium on electric vehicles (EVs) and autonomous vehicles (AVs) is in Whangarei on May 28.

It’s at the Northland Regional Council in Water Street from 3pm-5pm.

Topics include an update on EVs, AVs and the future of mobility, future transport options for Whangarei and Northland, EV sharing in Whangarei, EV infrastructure and more.

Displays and demonstrations of EVs such as the BMW i3, Hyundai Ioniq and Tesla S are planned.

Fleet managers in Whangarei are being asked to indicate how many of their pool vehicles will join the Whangarei EV sharing initiative.

They are also invited to complete a short questionnaire to help symposium organisers understand fleet use and adjust presentations to suit needs.

The symposium is being run by “Whangarei – love I.T. here”, a volunteer organisation which promotes technology as an enabler for social, cultural and economic growth.

This Smart Transport initiative is one of many projects the group is running in Whangarei.

Registration isn’t required for the symposium.

People keen on a sustainable environment, Whangarei’s transport and Whangarei fleet managers are invited, along with colleagues, family and friends interested to learn more about driver assistance, self-driving and electric vehicles.
