Our pick of green fleet influencers
It’s that time of the year again when we pick 100 people that we believe have had the most impact on the fleet and transport decarbonisation agenda.
With a firm goal in place from the government to end the sale of all types of road vehicles by 2040, there has been considerable progress in decarbonising transport. 2021 was the most successful year in history for electric vehicle uptake as more new battery electric vehicles were registered than over the previous five years combined, according to the Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders. There has been more focus too on how to make heavier vehicles zero-emission, with the government pumping money into trials of technologies and fuel types to help the freight and logistics sector reach net-zero.
Our GF100 Most Influential list – which is becoming increasingly harder to keep to just 100 – recognises the people that have made significant progress in their work to make fleet and transport greener, and who encourage others to embrace sustainability. See who’s
made the list on pages 15 to 34.
There’s also a review of the 2021 GREENFLEET Awards, on page 39, which again demonstrates the hard work and efforts of companies and individuals in our sector.
For those starting out on their net-zero journey, this issue of GreenFleet shares the five key stages to consider for fleet decarbonisation, on page 10, meanwhile James Lancaster from the Urban Mobility Partnership explores how mobility as a service, or MaaS, can transform
commuting and business travel, helping companies move away from the troublesome ‘grey fleet’.
