This half-day event, jointly organised by the LowCVP, PACTS (Parliamentary Advisory Council on Transport Safety) and the IMechE will look at the carbon reduction and safety agendas in the context of road transport. It will identify where policy measures and initiatives are complementary and how areas of tension between the two agendas can be most effectively resolved.
The event will cover both technical issues such as vehicle size, weight and design; the safety implications of vehicle electrification; and tyre selection; as well as behavioural issues including eco-safe driving and speed management.
There will be a drinks reception following the event, kindly sponsored by Michelin.

- Prof Oliver Carsten, Professor of Transport Safety, Institute for Transport Studies, Leeds University
