As December fast approaches, the BVRLA is increasing preparations for this year’s Industry Outlook Conference. Built around the theme Accelerate Performance: Navigate the Future, the full-day event is designed to help members prepare for the challenges and opportunities of 2026 and beyond.

The BVRLA is coordinating an awareness campaign that seeks to promote used electric vehicles and close the gap between growing supply and customer demand. Members with an interest in seeing a healthy, sustainable second-hand market for electric vehicles are encouraged to get involved.

BVRLA members can now access a wide range of insights and operational tips, via a dedicated podcast series to support day-to-day operations and protect their business. Produced in partnership with United Rental Group, the “Rental Matters” series will expand over the coming weeks and explore topics including insurance, marketing, vehicle security, and available support via the United and BVRLA teams.

The final series of BVRLA Forums for 2025 are coming up, with the opportunity for non-subscribers to ‘try before you subscribe’ for 2026.
