We’re proud to launch our motoring manifesto ‘Creating Confidence for Drivers’ – ahead of the upcoming local and mayoral elections, and a pending General Election. You can read the press release here > https://lnkd.in/et9zYBjw   The AA has been supporting drivers for over a hundred years and today represents more than 14 million members in the UK. Our research shows that many of those drivers are confused and concerned across a range of issues – unsure about how and when to make the shift to electric vehicles (EVs) and worried about the state of our roads and infrastructure, as well as the affordability and safety of driving overall. Our manifesto highlights five critical areas of action to address those concerns: Supporting drivers; Sustainable future; Smoother journeys; Safer roads; Strengthening the industry. Jakob Pfaudler, AA CEO, said: “I hope this manifesto proves informative and helps to shape a better road ahead for all drivers as we enter a critical juncture for the nation. There are 50 million people with a driving licence in Great Britain and around 40 million licenced vehicles. Driving forms a vital part of the majority of people’s daily lives whether for work, deliveries, leisure, holidays or visiting family and friends. Driving matters to them and their views should matter to us as we head to the polls later this year. Implementing our motoring manifesto will help to create confidence for drivers now and for the future.”

What are we doing to prepare for the future? This was just one of the questions for the panel of electric vehicle experts at #EVEX2024 here at Trinity Park in Ipswich today, run by Linda Grave from EV Driver Ltd and Leah Wright-Tiramakea and her amazing team at Ground Transport Group. A very positive message from Suffolk County Council who are keen to introduce additional support for #ev drivers who live in rural locations as well as city centres. Check out the Suffolk County Council website to nominate your local road for on street charging (where available and subject to suitability of supply). Speakers from today’s event include: Cllr Richard Rout, Peter Frost, Katy Hampshire, Martin Elliott, Roger Wood, Tom Hurst, Russ Morgan, Joy Elias, Claire Miller, Morag Hutcheon FRSA, Matthew Ling,and James Hazell as well as our Group Commercial Fleet Manager Simon Ungless MAFP and supported by our Customer Account Manager, Esther Jones . #innovation #development #electricvehicles #AlwaysAhead
