Cenex Expo 2025: First Look at the Seminar Programme Driving the Future of Mobility

With over 200 expert speakers expected, the programme delivers unparalleled insight into the technological, regulatory, and commercial advances shaping the future of transportation. As the UK edges closer to its 2030 ICE phase-out and 2050 Net Zero target, the urgency to act - and to learn from those leading the way - has never been greater.

Curated around three defining themes - Transition to Net Zero, Cross-sector Technology Transfer, and Transition to Connected Automated Mobility (CAM) - the 2025 agenda will bring together policy leaders, R&D pioneers, and industry trailblazers for two days of incisive discussion.

“This year’s seminar programme is more than a talking shop - it’s a rallying point,” comments Robert Evans, CEO of Cenex. “With less than five years to go until the ICE phase-out and the clock ticking toward 2050, the discussions we host at Cenex Expo will shape the next wave of action. The sessions are designed to cut through the noise, spotlight what’s working, and give attendees the insights they need to drive change in their organisations today - not tomorrow.”

Attendees can expect a vibrant mix of tech talks, panel debates and expert-led discussions across both LCV and CAM-focused tracks:

Cenex Expo will be held at UTAC Millbrook from 3-4th September. With over 5,000 attendees expected to attend a packed exhibition across four indoor halls and an outdoor steering pad, this year’s event will once again serve as the essential meeting place for decision-makers in sustainable transport and smart mobility.
