Dear All I am pleased to attach a brochure describing the Cambridge Vehicle Dynamics Consortium's (CVDC) Technology Showcase Event. This will be taking place at MIRA in Nuneaton on 19th October, 2010. The consortium conducts research into heavy vehicle dynamics, specializing in areas such as safety, productivity and fuel consumption. This event will be a unique opportunity to see first-hand the recent advancements in heavy vehicle technology developed by the CVDC. The Technology Showcase will feature exhibits, vehicle demonstrations, project updates and panel discussions relating to heavy goods vehicles and the future of long-combination-vehicles in the UK and Europe. Vehicle demonstrations will include the CVDC's own actively steered B-Double and Denby Transport Ltd's 'Eco-Link' concept vehicle. New technologies will also be on display from the other members, including Firestone Industrial Products, Haldex, Arvin Meritor, SimPack, Volvo and Goodyear. Tickets to the event are strictly limited and early registration is highly recommended. If you would like to attend the CVDC Technology Showcase, please complete the information on the brochure and return it to Leon Henderson in the University (see address in the brochure). You can also find further information at www.cvdc.org/showcase You may also be interested in the fleet management conference, which is the day after the CVDC event, and quite nearby: Network with heavy vehicle operators and gain an insight into their current priorities and challenges at the 7th annual Motor Transport and Commercial Motor Fleet Management conference on the 20th October.
