“The industry is in a strong position right now, with high demand for new trucks and maturing technology delivering a range of benefits to transport service providers and operators,” said Nadeem Raza, Microlise Chief Executive Officer.

“This panel session will look at the state of the industry now and the likely demands in the years ahead from the perspective of truck manufacturers, exploring the key issues that are likely to impact the industry over the coming years,” added Raza.

The executives representing the manufacturers will be:
• Ray Ashworth, Managing Director of DAF Trucks

Each speaker will make a brief introduction, setting out their position, with questions from delegates directed by Managing Editor of Motor Transport, Christopher Walton and conference Chair Quentin Willson.

The conference is expected to attract upwards of 1,000 delegates and has grown in recent years to become the largest road transport conference in Europe.

Alongside this session, the Microlise Transport Conference features speakers including HRH The Princess Royal and a range of key organisations, as well as an exhibition area of industry associations and suppliers.
