How to electrify your fleet

It’s simple. Transport is responsible for a significant quantity of global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. There’s an urgent need to reduce pollutant emissions to avoid the worst impacts of climate change. With 50% of vehicles on the road belonging to companies, businesses play a decisive role in protecting the environment.

Going electric is not just an opportunity to reduce your business' environmental footprint and -at the same time- keep your customers, associates and investors happy. It's also a way to improve your cost efficiency thanks to a lower total cost of ownership (TCO, see below) and to give your drivers a better, more high-tech driving experience.

For Ayvens, the question is not why you should electrify your fleet, but when. The answer is now.

We can actively support your transition to an electric fleet with a 5 step approach:

Diagnose
In the first phase of fleet electrification, Ayvens Consultants help clients benchmark against peers, assess country and employee readiness, establish CO2 and TCO baselines, and define achievable targets. These steps are crucial for a successful transition to an electric fleet, tailored to our clients' specific goals.
Model TCO & CO2 scenarios
Working with you we will create TCO and CO2 models and scenarios tailored to your fleet strategy.
Select the best mobility solutions
Optimising fleet costs, selecting the right vehicles and OEM partners, exploring multimodal mobility options, and tailoring charging solutions to both your commercial and passenger fleets are all crucial at this stage.
Engage your team
Working with you, we will help you engage your stakeholders and employees to strengthen your business case by providing materials for employee training.
Implement, monitor and optimise
Updating mobility policies, introducing reporting capabilities to track TCO and CO2 evolution, measing employee satisfaction and more are all included in the final stage of the transition plan.

Should my company fleet go electric?

When it comes to the big decision, there are three major factors to consider:

The route
Can your employees easily drive between home and work? Or do some people need to cover longer distances on their commute, or to reach clients?
Charging options
Is home charging possible for your employees? Or will they rely on public charging stations or office charging points?
The models
Do some of your employees need more from their vehicle when using it outside work (like a large boot or space for all the kids)?

Getting your drivers up to speed

Are your drivers wary of EVs or eager to step on the electric accelerator? Either way, fleet managers need to make sure employees are both motivated and trained to make the switch safely and efficiently. It’s also important that they can easily find answers to their questions – from the best EV driving behaviours and how to make sure they always have enough charge to whether they can use their EV to go on holiday.

Meanwhile, making the right EV choices for your employees is key to building up an enthusiastic workplace community of EV drivers. These ‘ambassadors’ will in turn be more likely to encourage colleagues to join the drive to zero-emission mobility.

Our experiences with our own fleet electrification programme and those of our many EV customers make Ayvens the ideal partner for fleet managers. We can provide numerous tips and tricks to make the transition as smooth and positive as possible.

A Green Scorecard to determine your TCO and CO2 strategy more easily

Balancing sustainability and cost savings in fleet management can be challenging. That's where the Green Scorecard comes in. This Green Scorecard is a tool that helps you make smart choices for your fleet that will optimise your total fleet cost and reduce your CO2 footprint.

We look at things such as your company's environmental targets, the types of vehicles you use (such as passenger cars and light commercial vehicles), tax rules and how much fuel your drivers use in practice. What makes the Green Scorecard special is that it does all the hard work automatically, so you don't have to.

Using the Green Scorecard you can:

Find out how much it costs overall to run your fleet and how much CO2 it generates.
Make decisions about the different engine types available and the charging options.
Choose the best vehicles for your needs.

In short, the Green Scorecard helps you make eco-friendly choices for your fleet without breaking your budget. Find out more about the Green Scorecard.

Expertise on transitioning to electric commercial fleets

Commercial vehicle fleets made up of LCVs have different electrification requirements than passenger vehicle fleets – but at Ayvens, we don’t believe the process needs to be more complicated. We always take care to understand the specific needs of your company, ensuring a smooth transition to eLCVs for your commercial fleet.
