Driverless vehicles, alternatively fuelled options and the zero-emission transition: the world of vans is evolving rapidly and operators must stay ahead of the competition to succeed in the new environment that all this change is creating. Expert research specialist Fergus McVey of 7th Sense Research will be the keynote speaker at Logistics UK’s Vans Today 2022, where he will provide unique insight into the van market, derived from robust qualitative and quantitative research, and consider potential changes which will affect the way businesses operate.
