Starting your transition to eLCV
Whether you’re just at the beginning of your journey or have your whole fleet ready to go, there is a lot to consider when transitioning to eLCVs.


It’s a challenging process, but one which needs due attention as the Government’s 2035 deadline, when the sale of new petrol and diesel vehicles ends, is only two renewal cycles away! With this deadline just around the corner, it is important to consider transitioning as soon as possible. Nevertheless, the looming date shouldn’t cause you to make rushed decisions.

For LCV fleets, ICE vehicles can be seen as commodities with easily comparable costs of ownership, whereas EVs have a more complex cost equation with technology and taxation still developing. Furthermore, there is a big difference between electric cars and eLCVs, with the latter still catching up to the ranges of cars. As a result, LCV fleets must think more carefully than company car drivers due to their different operational needs and load carrying requirements.

Essentially, all of this implies transitioning to an eLCV won’t happen overnight. There is no one-size-fits-all solution!
So, what do you need to do? The following steps are all fundamental in the transitioning process:

· Evaluate where you are on your journey

· Ensure you have stakeholder engagement

· Understand your fleet and drivers so you can understand what you require and calculate the impact of switching

· Consider logistical challenges, such as vehicle ranges, charging capabilities, load requirements, driver behaviour and sustainability.
We're here to help. That's why we have created our dedicated guide, What to consider when introducing LCVs to your fleet, to help you understand what steps you need to take to transition to eLCVs. 
Considering there are only two lifecycles before ICE vehicles aren’t an option, there is no better time than now to start planning your transition. Whether you’re just starting to explore your options, are early on in your journey or have already started adapting your fleet, this document should serve as a useful tool.
