The BVRLA’s annual programme of specialist industry forums continues, with each including limited spaces for members that don’t currently subscribe to the full calendar of events.

Companies representing the UK’s automotive ecosystem have written to the UK Government to emphasise the need for swift action to support the used battery electric vehicle (BEV) market. Representatives from more than 30 companies delivered the open letter to the Secretary of State for Transport, Heidi Alexander MP, highlighting how the Government can best direct the £1.4bn committed last month to ‘support continued uptake of electric vehicles, including vans and HGVs’.

Last week, sixty members joined speakers from Autotrader, Autorola and Automotive Services International to discuss the new and used vehicle markets at the BVRLA’s Residual Value and Remarketing (RVR) Forum.

The BVRLA’s industry Forums offer members the chance to connect, learn, and stay ahead of market trends. With final agendas being confirmed for this summer’s forums, both events promise valuable insight, expert speakers, and opportunities for networking.

The BVRLA’s Forum programme brings industry experts together to share practical insight on the key issues shaping members' day-to-day operations - from managing vehicles on fleet to maximising value at end-of-life.

The focus of the BVRLA’s programme of Forums is to bring subject matter experts together to discuss the key issues, trends and opportunities that are dominating the landscapes in which members operate.

Responsible for over 4.3 million vehicles on UK roads, BVRLA members need to fully understand trends in vehicle values and managing de-fleeting strategies.

Over 70 delegates gathered last week to discuss key trends in the used vehicle market and expectations for 2025, at the BVRLA’s Residual Value and Remarketing (RVR) Forum at BCA’s Perry Barr auction site.

Members are able to equip their teams with the insights and data required to address the challenges of 2025 by attending the BVRLA’s Forums. February offers two opportunities to experience the value these events bring in addressing common issues and trends that require a response.

The Government must act now to avoid further volatility in used electric vehicle (EV) values, which is damaging confidence in the transition and making new EVs more expensive.

Reaching EV/ICE price parity and if the retail network is equipped to handle the latest vehicles were hot topics explored at last week’s Residual Value and Remarketing (RVR forum). Hosted by International Motors; the home of GWM ORA, Isuzu and Subaru in the UK, nearly 70 delegates heard analysis of the latest trends and projections for vehicle values.
