“Fleet Day is a truly unique event for the industry, bringing together organisations and industry leaders and showcasing innovative technologies,” Davies says.

“This year’s event includes a heavy focus on road safety and EV strategies, including the opportunity to see the largest number of commercial EV vehicles gathered in one place in New Zealand.”  

Industry-leading speakers will deliver informative presentations on the most relevant trends and topics, and talk about challenges and solutions the light and heavy vehicle sectors are facing.
