However, at this stage, the country is mostly geared up for electrification, with significant investments from government and industry to build adequate EV charging networks and incentivise the purchase of electric vehicles.

 

But in addition to adopting electric vehicles, what other ways can transport, specifically fleet operations, become net zero? This issue of GreenFleet explores the fleet industry’s progress on its decarbonisation journey, as well as the challenges that remain.

 

Jacob Roberts from the Association for Renewable Energy and Clean Technology takes on the renewable fuels debate, showing why it is still green to operate an electric vehicle, even if it’s charged using the grid which does not have 100 per cent renewable energy. He also explores ways for companies to ensure their EVs are truly zero ‘well-to-wheel’ emission.

 

We also preview the GREENFLEET Awards, with a look at the 2022 shortlist which showcases the huge amount of innovation going on in the fleet and transport sector. Good luck to all those in the running for an award.
