Attendees have the opportunity to: 

Connect with and learn from senior peers – discuss shared challenges, widen product knowledge and compare experiences to help make informed decisions

Test drive the latest EV and hybrid models that have just been released. 

Understand the shift to new technologies and the cost-saving benefits ‘clean cars’

Gain insight into the views of industry experts through open forum discussions addressing the hot topics and biggest challenges facing fleet decision-makers

Back for it’s 5th year, Fleet Vision International – THE SHOW, is the “must attend” international conference and exhibition aimed at fleet and transport managers, frontline fleet operations, and essential services.

The pandemic has highlighted how frontline fleet and essential services have kept our society operative during hugely challenging times.

Held in the historic Guildhall, this truly unique conference and exhibition is the result of a long-lasting relationship between the City of London, City of New York, and Fleet Vision International magazine.

The event contributes to innovation and new ways of thinking. This forum delivers solutions to overcome the challenges of managing a frontline fleet during continually evolving political circumstances, where the demand for essential services is ever-increasing.

Benefit from examples of best practice and find out how major cities transition to net zero.

The AFP is looking forward to exhibiting at the Fleet & Mobility Live next month. As always, you are very welcome to join us at our stand P20 for a cup of tea and a chat. 

Come ask about our industry-leading courses, or clarify a fleet-related conundrum and take advantage of the combined knowledge of The AFP Board, who will be on the stand and many will also be presenting and taking part in various panels over the two days.

Moreover, don’t miss AFP Fleet Academy‘s very own Peter Eldridge’s session, New to fleet: an introduction to fleet management, on Wednesday 8th October at 13:00 – 13:45 in the Fleet Management Theatre.
