As the pre-eminent UK event on the electrification of road transport and following the success of its first three editions, SMMT Electrified returns in 2025 to provide a high profile, agenda-setting platform to discuss how industry, stakeholders and government can accelerate Britain’s transition to zero emission mobility.
With an end of sale date for new petrol and diesel cars and vans fast approaching, the race is on to ensure the UK is an exemplar EV market and manufacturer – challenges that requires world leading consumer incentives and infrastructure networks, to a competitive industrial strategy and EV supply chain.
To accelerate innovation and solutions, SMMT Electrified brings together hundreds of senior representatives from the automotive industry and aligned sectors – such as infrastructure, battery supply chain, energy, fleets and logistics, plus government and consumer groups – with exhibition and branding opportunities available.
In 2023, we were delighted to hear from a range of keynote speakers, alongside panel sessions and speakers including senior executives from vehicle manufacturers, policy makers and a host of experts from the automotive and aligned industries.
Stay tuned for new announcements on the fresh agenda for 2025.
