MANCHESTER Mayor, Andy Burnham, will be the keynote speaker at the Low Carbon Vehicle Partnership’s (LowCVP) Moving North Conference 2018.
The LowCVP Moving North Conference will focus on the challenge of cutting carbon emissions and air pollution, and seizing the business opportunities for automotive and fuel supply companies in the Northern Powerhouse.
The event will take place at the Manchester Metropolitan University Business School on Thursday April 12, 2018.
Speakers at the LowCVP Moving North Conference include:
- Andy Burnham, Mayor of Greater Manchester
- Mike Hawes, Chief Executive, Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders (SMMT)
- Ian Constance, Chief Executive, Advanced Propulsion Centre (APC)
- Lawrence Davies MBE, Chief Executive, Automotive Investment Organisation (AIO)
- Jon Lamonte, Chief Executive, Transport for Greater Manchester (TfGM)
- Andy Eastlake, Managing Director, Low Carbon Vehicle Partnership (LowCVP)
- Carol Holden OBE, Chief Executive, Northern Automotive Alliance (NAA)
- Jon King, Business Development Consultant, Warwick Manufacturing Group (WMG)
- Dave Roberts, Director, Smart Interventions, EA Technology.
‘Moving North’ will look at the future of transport in the Northern Powerhouse region (and beyond) – a future that will be driven by ever-tighter regulation of carbon dioxide emissions and pollutants which damage air quality – and the resulting opportunities for businesses in the automotive, fuels and related sectors.
LowCVP says the event, and the drinks reception which follows the conference, will also be an important networking opportunity.
There will be a number of different sectors represented, including the automotive and energy industries, governmental/public sector organisations, ‘new mobility’ companies and other stakeholders.
Moving North is a ticketed event, which is free to members of the LowCVP. There is a 25% discount for members of the Northern Automotive Alliance. Non-members are invited at the standard price of £100.
The Moving North Conference is being held in association with the Mayor of Greater Manchester, the Northern Automotive Alliance (NAA) and Transport for Greater Manchester (TfGM). It is supported by Manchester Metropolitan University and sponsored by GEFCO and Uber.
