Yes, we meet again for a live 2021 Fleet Europe Summit!

It's finally here: we're getting ready for the 2021 Fleet Europe Summit, which will go back to a live format with face-to-face interaction. Mark your calendar and join us on 9 and 10 November in Brussels for the event of the year for the European fleet & mobility industry!

The Fleet Europe Summit is the event you have to attend to stay up to date about emerging developments in the fleet and mobility industry, with attention for hands-on best practice sharing, visionary thought leadership presentations, and the discovery of new products and services, and to meet and interact with industry peers.

After more than a year of online-only events, it will be a great opportunity for fleet and mobility insiders to meet again in real life, to have face-to-face talks, to share experiences and to have a good time. 

This year’s Fleet Europe Summit will take place in the beautiful SQUARE, a convention centre on the Mont des Arts in Brussels, offering a commanding view over the historic centre of the European capital. It is only a stone’s throw away from the Grand’Place, from the Royal Palace and from the many sights and monuments Brussels has to offer.

Fleet Europe Summit Themes

  1. Sustainability
    • This includes of course electrification, which requires charging solutions that can be used at the office, at home and on the go. Other zero-emission solutions are available, too.
  2. Post-COVID-19 fleet management
    • Strategies are evolving in a post-COVID world and new policies need to be developed. Some procurment trends can already be distinguished, others can be predicted.
  3. Corporate Mobility
    • MaaS is being embraced by more and more companies, and some are looking at Mobility-as-a-Benefit as the next step. We will look at policies and strategies for corporate mobility.
  4. Innovation
    • The fleet and mobility industries are teeming with innovation, particularly in terms of digitisation, fleet renewal programmes, vehicle availability and financial models.

Here’s a first glimpse of what you can expect at the 2021 Fleet Europe Summit on 9 and 10 Novermber in Brussels.
