Accelerating Fleet Transition to EVs
August 30, 2023
Fleets are crucial players in Australia’s push towards electrification and achieving net zero emissions. Fleet vehicles cover more km on average than household cars, making their transition to electric vehicles (EVs) a significant opportunity for carbon reduction and approximately 45% of all new cars purchased in Australia are owned by governments, businesses, or rental companies, underscoring the importance of prioritising fleet electrification efforts.
The Case for Fleet Electrification: Given their substantial share of new vehicle purchases, fleet electrification holds immense potential for driving the transition to clean transportation. To unlock these benefits, the industry should consider incentivising EV uptake with strategies such as bulk discounts for EV fleets, tailored monitoring solutions, and specialised tools designed specifically for fleet management.
