ZEBINARS.

Keep up to date with what’s happening in the zero emission buses sector!

Throughout the autumn of 2020, Element Energy and Hydrogen Europe will host a series of free webinars in the lead up to the ZEB2021 Paris Conference next March.

The ZEBINAR programme has been designed to cover key elements of the transition to zero emission. Participants will hear directly from operators already integrating zero emission vehicles into their bus fleets; industry representatives developing zero emission infrastructure and vehicles; and policy makers developing the next phase of European directives.

Please find here the series programme as well as the links to register for each zebinar:
