10am-11.30am: Transport law and compliance What infringements do operators regularly make? Who or what will Vosa target next? Do you find OCRS confusing? What common mistakes do operators make when applying to, and appearing before, TCs? What's keeping them awake? And how should you negotiate this minefield? Our speakers will provide the answers. • Alastair Peoples, chief executive, Vosa • Nick Denton, South East and Metropolitan traffic commissioner • Nina Dhillon, senior associate, DWF 11.45am-12.45pm: Cycle safety: where London Leads, other cities follow
The single biggest contributor to bad press about the transport industry in London is the safety of cyclists. And where London leads, other cities follow, so don't think cycle safety doesn't affect your operation. In this session, Transport for London will highlight its position — take heed and be one step ahead when other cities adopt the same policies. The Mineral Products Association (MPA) will outline its work on vehicle specification and approaches to minimising the risks to cyclists, while one of its members will present a case study. • Setting the scene: Jerry McLaughlin, director, MPA • Setting the specification: speaker tbc, Transport for London • Case study: MPA member to be confirmed 2pm-2.45pm: Quiet deliveries What are the barriers that are preventing more companies from
shifting their deliveries to out-of-hours? How can local authorities be convinced that allowing night-time deliveries is a win-win option for all concerned? What is the best quiet technology to invest in? And which operators are running successful out-of-hours operations? All of these questions will be discussed. • Lisa Lavia, MD, Noise Abatement Society • Natalie Chapman, head of policy for London, Freight Transport Association • Chris Clements, project manager, freight and fleet programme surface planning transport, Transport for London • Chris Douglas, director, Transport & Travel Research • Case study: Hugh Basham, director of transport strategy, DHL Supply Chain 3pm-4pm: Euro-6 live
Five years of anticipation, worry and scare-mongering: finally Euro-6 is here. While you can try Euro-6 trucks on Millbrook's test tracks, this is your chance to hear from a major operator and how it has fared with Euro-6 trucks. Is the weight gain really an issue? Has the feared fuel penalty been successfully overcome? Are they really that more complex and difficult to maintain?
Our panel of expert speakers will answer these questions and many more. • Case study: Nigel Cook, MD, Elddis Transport (Consett) • Panel debate with: Phil Moon, product marketing manager, Daf; Martin Flach, technical director, Iveco; Clive Burnet, technical manager — trucks, Scania; representatives from Total and Volvo; and David Wilcox, technical editor, Commercial Motor
