The Independent Automotive Aftermarket Federation (IAAF) has announced that its next Industry Briefing Session will be held at Haynes International Motor Museum in Sparkford, near Yeovil in the UK on 31 October.

Guest speakers will include Quentin Le Hetet from GiPA UK and Train 4 Auto Consultancy’s Director Steve Carter, who will be sharing the latest developments in technology which are set to dramatically re-shape the future of the industry. 

Steve will be presenting a talk entitled ‘Fact and Fiction’, giving a fascinating insight into the rapidly evolving changes taking place with Hybrid, PHEV and Hydrogen Fuel Celled vehicles, unveiling some significant facts and statistics to highlight the advancement in technology for the “PHEV revolution”, and the monumental shifts afoot for both aftermarket and drivers alike. 

Quentin will also be taking the stand to illustrate what the next five years hold for the independent aftermarket, highlighting the development of mobility, PHEVs and the VMs’ strategy as key influential factors.

Members will also be brought up-to-date on current industry issues, including the latest developments with the connected car, type approval legislation and the Your Car Your Choice campaign.

At the event there will be networking and coffee available from 9.00am, with the session promptly starting at 10.00am before finishing at 1.00pm with lunch, followed by a tour of the museum.

As limited spaces are available, IAAF is advising members to book early to avoid disappointment by emailing Ann Silvester at anns@iaaf.co.uk.
