Business van fleets wanted to clean up city

Could there be a business case for your company to go electric?

If your business joins the Rapid Chargepoints project you will receive a tailored report showing where there is a business case for acquiring electric vehicles within your business van fleet.

There is a strong business case for the adoption of electric vehicles. The benefits are particularly prevalent in London

The latest project is an extension of the Energy Saving Trust’s Plugged-in Fleets Initiative, funded by the Department for Transport (Dft) and TfL, which as assisted some 100 enterprises to understand how plug-in vehicles could work for them.

Philip Sellwood, chief executive at the Energy Saving Trust, commented: “There is a strong business case for the adoption of electric vehicles and this has been shown through our previous work with business fleets. These benefits are particularly prevalent in London, with TfL recognising the potential for electric vehicles supported by rapid charging infrastructure.”

And Ian Wainwright, head of the freight and fleet programmes at TfL, added: “The ‘Rapid Chargepoint Mapping’ project will help deliver more efficient electric fleets and improved air quality for all. With vans and other lightweight goods vehicles accounting for over three-quarters of the freight miles in London, this project has the opportunity to make a significant contribution to reduced emissions in the capital.”
