Panel sessions will follow on subjects ranging from WVTA (whole vehicle type approval) to Euro 6 SCR (selective catalytic reduction) and the pros and cons of drum and disc trailer brakes.
Ian Smith, of Gray & Adams, will cover the implications of WVTA; Scania will present technical issues around SCR; and BPW engineering manager Roger Thorpe will consider trailer braking, drawing on the firm's experience with its 3,000 combinations of axle and suspension specifications.
The event will also witness the presentation to IRTE Scotland's Young Engineer of the Year award.
The Brigade Electronics sponsored convention, taking place in Highland Hall, at Ingliston Showground, is open to IRTE members, irtec accredited technicians and fleet engineers working with road haulage operators.
Those wishing to attend the convention should apply by email to: irtecconvention@irtec.org.uk
