Green Corridors: Transforming Industry, Utilities & Logistics | Carmarthen

West Wales plays a vital role in supporting industrial activity and essential national infrastructure, with strategic freight routes and logistics corridors acting as gateways for heavy haulage, maintenance fleets and critical equipment movements.

This event explores the unique challenges and opportunities in decarbonising industrial and utilities transport, including long-haul logistics, port activity, and the specialist vehicle fleets that underpin energy, communications and infrastructure networks.

Delegates will hear from government, industry, fleet operators and energy leaders on practical strategies, collaborative solutions and investment pathways - spanning vehicles, fuels, infrastructure and planning - to accelerate the transition to a zero-emission future.

Info: Jonathan Murray sets the scene for the day, outlining the event objectives, the agenda for the day and the outcomes for delegates and stakeholders alike.

Info: This session focuses on real-world solutions for industrial and port-connected logistics, from battery-electric and hydrogen vehicles to retrofit pathways that can deliver faster carbon reductions. Panellists will explore the infrastructure needed to make zero-emission haulage work at scale, and how coordinated planning across ports, fleets and energy providers can unlock cleaner, more efficient logistics corridors.

Info: This case study explores the role of Freight Solutions for Energy Wales (FSEW) in supporting the safe, efficient and lower-carbon movement of energy-related freight across Wales. FSEW works with industry and government to understand freight demand linked to major energy projects -including renewable generation, battery energy storage systems (BESS), grid infrastructure and port-based energy hubs - and to identify opportunities to reduce emissions, improve efficiency and accelerate the transition to cleaner heavy-haulage solutions.

Info: This facilitated workshop will bring delegates and stakeholders together to unpack the latest issues, pinch points and most crucially the wins to decarbonising commercial fleets.

Info: This case study explores how a leading national fleet operator is decarbonising one of the UK’s largest and most operationally complex commercial vehicle fleets. With thousands of engineers on the road every day, this operator is demonstrating how essential services can transition to electric vehicles while maintaining reliability, productivity and safety. The case study will unpack key insights into the fleet electrification journey, including how organisations are working collaboratively with partners to overcome real-world operational challenges. This includes innovative approaches to powering tools and equipment in the field, reducing the need for engineers to return to depots, and improving efficiency while cutting emissions.

Info: Decarbonising heavy transport depends on more than technology—it depends on investment that works. This session explores how to finance zero-emission fleets, retrofit programmes and low-carbon fuel hubs, and how public funding can be blended with private capital to unlock scale. Panellists will focus on investable models that de-risk transition and accelerate the rollout of green freight corridors.

Info: Closing remarks delivered by Jonathan Murray and other key stakeholders, summarising the key takeaways from the days discussion.
