Autocar drivers of Change

Automotive Management Live 2024 is scheduled for November 13 at the NEC in Birmingham, focusing on critical industry topics like electric vehicles, digital retail transformation, and sustainability. The event aims to attract key stakeholders from various sectors and will feature expert-led workshops and discussions on the impact of electrification on dealerships. Meanwhile, Western Australia is implementing 'Tom's Law', which restricts P-plate drivers to one passenger in response to rising road fatalities among young drivers, a move supported by advocacy from victims' families. In the U.S., Cox Automotive's Chief Economist highlighted optimism regarding steady auto sales despite external challenges, while a new EV Market Monitor tool was introduced to assess the EV market's health. Lastly, nominations for the 2025 Drivers of Change awards are open, celebrating individuals promoting diversity in the automotive sector, with winners to be announced in February 2025.
