UPDATING THE INDUSTRY ON THE VERY LATEST LOW EMISSIONS TECHNOLOGIES FOR
BUSES, WHILST LOOKING AT COMPANY COMPLIANCE AND FUTURE LEGISLATION.

Through solid case studies from the most innovative pilot projects, the 2nd Bus and Coach Engineering Seminar will provide practical answers to which low carbon solutions are proving to be economically and technically viable.

Case studies and real world examples from Reading Buses, Bath Bus Company, Torotrak and more will also demonstrate what the industry has learned about implementing these solutions. Thought-leading debates on what lies ahead for environmentally friendly mass transportation will also be an integral part of the day in order to plan for future developments.

We will be covering the key issues for the transition to a low carbon economy, such as:

- How to overcome the barriers to a broader roll out of fully electric and hybrid vehicles
- The viability of using alternative fuels such as CNG and biofuels
- Maintenance and automation: technology transfer from trucks, cars and other industries
- Planning for what comes next: future legislation and technology development

Confirmed speakers include:

- John Bickerton, Chief Engineer, Reading Buses
- Collin Field, Engineering Director, Bath Bus Company
