PROGRAM TOPICS PROGRAM TOPICS DAY 2 DAY 2 DAY 1 BREAKOUT SESSION BREAKOUT SESSION Commercial EVs – Technology, What’s Available, Breakeven Point, Emission Savings? Not All Batteries are Created Equal SPEAKERS Mark Cameron, Regional Director SEA Electrics Fran de Sanary, National Transport & Risk Manager at Envirowaste New Zealand Commercial electric vehicles are the holy grail for emission reductions for many fleets. These workhorses expel (spew) tonnes of Co2, noxious particulates yet are essential in many organisations. In part one of this session you’ll hear the story of SEA Electric and their world first Australian technology. They show us what’s possible and outline the breakeven point for adopting this new technology. In part two we’ll hear about Envirowaste and their journey with electric garbage trucks. You’ll be surprised what’s been achieved and whilst you might not need a garbage truck what about a tipper or other service body. The chassis and electric power trains is the same, you just change the body! PLENARY II Hybrids, PHEV and EVs all use batteries but not all batteries are created equal. Batteries are made of different elements and therefore battery degradation can be different. The rate a battery is charged (fast or trickle charge) may affect its degradation and therefore its effective life. In this session you will understand why some batteries are better than others, how to protect the life of your vehicle battery and importantly how to educate drivers to manage battery life. DAY 1 This Breakout Session is designed for delegates looking to learn more about some of the options available.

AUSTRALASIAN FLEET CONFERENCE & EXHIBITION AND FLEET AWARDS MAY 22-24 2019 Whilst we hope we’ll never face this situation, the fact is, the longer we spend on the road the higher our chances of being a first responder to the scene of an accident. In this session you’ll hear from experts on what to do, how to do it, your obligations morally, legally and how to understand and cope with the trauma of dealing with this event. Attendees will be provided with a check list they can provide to their drivers to educate them incase they are involved in a similar situation.
