One of the key factors driving this shift is a deadline imposed by the government to end sales of new petrol and diesel cars and vans by 2035 (previously 2030). From that point on, new cars and vans sold in the UK will be obliged to have zero tailpipe emissions. This means that electric won’t just be an alternative; it will be the key element in our transport mix.
This is indeed a revolutionary change, and it has to be. After all, the world faces a climate emergency. We need to act now in order to prevent irreversible damage to our shared environment. Moving away from fossil fuels is a crucial part of that effort.
The 2035 deadline and the climate emergency that underpins it are the most important reasons why fleets must transition to EVs, but there are others. EVs can save you money due to lower fuel costs and servicing bills. They benefit from a range of tax incentives and grants. They can help with your organisation’s ESG goals – accelerating, or even kick-starting, your company’s overall decarbonisation programme.
This revolution is happening now. To join in with your transition to EVs, please get in touch and our team of fleet experts will be happy to discuss your requirements.
