Why It's Important?
The Cenex Expo 2025 is crucial for advancing the UK's automotive and transport sectors towards sustainable practices. With the ICE phase-out approaching, the event offers a platform for discussing the scale-up opportunities in sustainable manufacturing and Net Zero for trucks. It also addresses the commercialization of driverless logistics and shared passenger transport, alongside next-generation Electric Vehicle charging technologies. The seminar on Building an Automotive Industrial Policy for the Next Decade will examine the Government's £2.5 billion DRIVE35 initiative, which aims to accelerate strategic R&D and investment across vehicle electrification. This event is a rallying point for cross-sector collaboration and leadership in future mobility.
What's Next?
The Cenex Expo 2025 will feature high-level panels, tech briefings, and discussions on decarbonizing heavy goods vehicles and commercial fleets, building resilient supply chains for EV technology, and innovations in hydrogen mobility, AI, and software-defined vehicles. With over 4,000 attendees expected, the event will serve as a premier platform for future mobility collaboration, where policy meets engineering and innovation meets delivery. The outcomes of these discussions could influence future policy decisions and industry practices in the UK.
