Collaboration is key to EV success
The Great British EV Rally concluded on 8th July after five days and over 1,200 electrically driven miles covering the entire length of Britain.
One of the most significant outcomes from the rally was the sense of collaboration and camaraderie between teams. It shows that together, Britain’s ambition to get everyone into clean, electric vehicles, is achievable. There’s a willingness between companies to share information and help each other, as well as helping fleets – because the common goal benefits us all.
Inevitably, the rally highlighted areas where the EV charging infrastructure could be improved – and by splitting the rally between vans and cars raised the particular issues that commercial vehicles face. But despite any challenges, the rally achieved its objective of demonstrating that electric vehicles are a viable option now – and the situation will only improve as government and industry commits more resource and funding to the sector.
Read the full review of the Great British EV Rally on page 33.
Meanwhile, this issue of GreenFleet shares information and advice for fleets navigating the Clean Air Zone landscape. The BVRLA summarises how Clean Air Zones work, as well as which are in operation and which are pending. The Urban Mobility Partnership explores different options to staff travel and commutes, and there’s a focus on how London’s road pricing schemes are improving air quality and making travel in the city more sustainable.
