This issue of GreenFleet magazine focuses on the challenging task of decarbonising commercial vehicles.
Despite there being more than 30 electric van models out there, electric van sales represent only five per cent of all LCVs registered so far in 2024. And there are only a small number of electric trucks in operation too.
To meet the government's Zero Emission Vehicle mandate targets, demand for electric commercial vehicles must grow.
We’ve gathered the views of the industry to identify what progress is being made in van and truck decarbonisation, as well as what the barriers to adoption are.
This issue also looks at why bus electrification has been so successful, and whether this can be replicated in the coach market - and we look at the latest projects to secure funding through the Freight Innovation Fund.
Elsewhere, we cover EV accessibility, the second-hand electric vehicle market, driver training, and more.
I hope you enjoy the issue.
