Welcome to this edition of GREENFLEET magazine, where we focus on supporting small and medium sized businesses in their transition to electric vehicles.
For many SMEs, making the switch to electric can be challenging – constrained by limited time, budget, and technical know-how. To help, this issue is packed with practical guidance: from choosing which vehicles to switch and installing charging infrastructure, to exploring how emerging technologies like artificial intelligence can ease the transition.
In addition, we bring you highlights from GREENFLEET’s first Decarbonisation Hub at the Commercial Vehicle Show, where industry leaders tackled the pressing issues around decarbonising trucks and vans, while exhibitors showcased cutting-edge solutions.
There's also a review of our very first EV Rally overseas, which racked up over 1,300kms across five European countries, and a mid year reflection of the Electric Fleet Race, which recognises the fleets making significant progress in their electrification journey.
The topic of solar carports is also spotlighted, showing how fleets can make use of an untapped resource – their car parks. With PV modules, EV chargers and energy management systems working together, solar carports can align neatly with fleet sustainability goals.
I hope you enjoy the issue.
