Transport + Energy

We are delighted to announce an exclusive addition to our Transport + Energy Forum, which aims to harness collaboration at the forum to create a Delivery Plan for the government. Output from the day's packed agenda of presentations, debates, panel discussions and roundtable sessions will be pulled together into an insight-driven report. This Delivery Plan will showcase the necessary strategies required to turn action into real delivery and will be presented to government shortly after the forum takes place. "I look forward to learning from the forum and their Delivery Plan as my committee makes recommendations to the government throughout this parliament." Bill Esterson MP, Chair of Energy Security and Net Zero Committee.

T+E Forum 2024: JLR says more carrot and less stick needed on ZEV mandate Public Affairs Director at Jaguar Land Rover, Murray Paul, told Quentin Willson at the T+E Forum that the government accepted more carrots were needed in relation to the ZEV mandate. Speaking about yesterday’s roundtable with the UK Government and vehicle manufacturers as well as ChargeUK, Paul said that “no one in the meeting asked for regulations to change” and that the “challenge was with demand”. He said that government “accepted” the calls from the motor manufacturers that the stick approach only got you so far, and that the industry “needs carrots as well”. There was also some discussion on JLR’s rebrand, which Willson said had “broken the internet”. Paul said the rebrand was about reaching a newer, younger demographic, which was into arts and music, and trying to dispel the concept of a Jaguar as “your dad’s car”.

T+E Forum 2024: AA reveals EVs running out of charge at lowest point ever The proportion of electric vehicles running out of charge this year in the UK has dropped to the lowest ever, according to new AA statistical analysis revealed at the Transport + Energy Forum. The latest figures were shown by the AA president Edmund King OBE at the Forum, and when calculated as a percentage of all EV breakdowns, a record low was announced for 2024 of less than 2% (1.85%). The rolling 12-month figure for 2023 was 2.26%. In 2015 the proportion of ‘out of charge’ EVs was running at 8.26%.
