Thanks again to Jon Bentley for being an utter gent of a man and to Michelle Brewer who was very generous with her time despite being very busy on the Wheeler Dealers stand. Let's hope the Farnborough Motor Show becomes a fixture of the UK car scene for many years to come, it was a great car show.
▪ Bentley aims to be end-to-end carbon neutral by 2030, with Crewe operations climate positive thereafter
▪ Confirms move to full electrification – PHEV or BEV only by 2026
▪ By 2030, switching entire model range to battery electric vehicles
▪ Two new PHEV launches planned in 2021
▪ Committed to reduce factory environmental impact by 75 per cent by 2025 against a 2010 baseline – including plastic neutral
▪ Fully supports Volkswagen Group ambition of going beyond two degree target of the Paris Climate Agreement
▪ Targeting truly diverse talent – 30 per cent of management population to be diverse, increase from less than 20 per cent today
▪ Holistic Beyond100 programme transforms every aspect of the 100 year old company
This was a great return for the British Motor Show, the first Motor Show in the world to take place in 2021. It has a very nice family feel with more focus on the public and experiences than I am used to seeing at car shows. The organisers have committed to the venue for the next 5 years and I strongly recommend that you pay a visit over the weekend d(if any tickets are left) or next year if not. It really was a great day.
