In this thought leadership piece, our fleet transition experts explain how evolving technology, policy, regulation and customer expectations are changing the potential for fleets of all kinds to change to zero emission.
- Vehicle types and capabilities are evolving and there are now zero emission vehicles for most duty cycles and requirements.
- Energy supply and charging can be a challenge for electric vehicles, although the growth in chargepoints means that many vehicles can now be charged on-route and at destinations.
- Tax rates and policy are likely to change, and we're already seeing the removal of some subsidies such as exemptions for the London Congestion Charge.
- Government policy has confirmed that vehicle fleets need to shift to zero emission in the next decade.
- Customer expectations are rising across many segments, and there can be a challenge to meet these.
- Changes to operational models, and smarter commuting tools, can offer ways to make travel and commuting more efficient and cost-effective.
