Join us for a conversation with James Rooney, Head of Road Fleet at Network Rail, as he shares the real challenges and triumphs of transitioning Britain's largest rail infrastructure fleet to electric vehicles. With 9,800 vehicles under his management and a government mandate for 100% electric by 2027, James reveals the honest truth about meeting ambitious targets, the technology gaps holding back small van adoption, and why EVs are proving more reliable than traditional vehicles in real-world fleet operations. From his pioneering work at British Gas to managing the UK's biggest landowner's fleet, discover how a self-proclaimed petrol head became one of the industry's most passionate EV advocates.
