Powered Up is a discussion-led clean mobility conference, titled ‘Leading the Transition’, bringing together senior representatives from vehicle finance, fleet, energy, charging infrastructure, vehicle manufacturing, logistics, government, policy and sustainability. The event is built around one question: what is actually going to fund and deliver the next phase of the UK’s transition?

The programme will examine:
— Financing the Transition
