122: Driving Change with Brett Howton of IVECO

Listen Later
This week we have Brett Howton from IVECO, a passionate expert at the forefront of the electric transition in the heavy vehicle sector. 

Brett shares his fascinating journey—from his early days in retail (yes, including tales from Dixons and even being one of the first to get his hands on a PlayStation 2!), to his unique stint as a prison officer, and ultimately, finding his true calling in the world of electric trucks. 🚚✨ 

We dive deep into:
  • The electrification of trucks: How Brett’s geeky passion for innovation and tech led him to IVECO.
  • Real-world EV experiences: Insights from his trip to see IVECO’s groundbreaking SE Way for the first time.
  • Breaking industry stereotypes: The impact of EVs on gender diversity in the trucking sector.
  • The emotional side of transport: Brett’s reflections on life lessons, the power of human connection, and building trust in business. 
  • And yes, even emotional film moments that brought tears to our hosts’ eyes (spoiler: it’s not just Titanic 🚢😭).
