📩 We submitted our response to the European Commission's public consultation on the greening of corporate fleets: https://lnkd.in/eZHTgFwC.. 🚗 ⚡60% of cars sold in Europe are company cars, and these vehicles drive twice as much as privately owned ones: electrifying corporate fleets is therefore essential for cutting transport-related greenhouse gas emissions in the EU! Electrifying corporate fleets offers numerous strategic benefits for the European Union: - 𝗜𝗺𝗽𝗹𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗼𝗳 𝗸𝗲𝘆 𝗹𝗲𝗴𝗶𝘀𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻: electrifying corporate fleets will drive predictable investments and smooth development of both charging and supporting grid infrastructure, it will promote the advancement of digital solutions like smart and bi-directional charging at scale and accelerate the overall switch to EVs. - 𝗔𝗳𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗱𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲 𝗘𝗩 𝗺𝗮𝗿𝗸𝗲𝘁: greening corporate fleets legislation will foster a robust and expanded secondhand market for EVs which will make them accessible to a broader population. - 𝗕𝗼𝗼𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗽𝗲𝘁𝗶𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀: by transitioning corporate fleets to EVs, European manufacturers will be incentivised to offer more affordable and advanced EV models to meet strong market demand. - 𝗛𝗮𝗿𝗺𝗼𝗻𝗶𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗻𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗹𝗲𝗴𝗶𝘀𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻: an EU-wide legislation will standardise national measures and address current divergences that hinder the consistency of incentives for the greening of corporate fleets across Member States.  - 𝗥𝗲𝗱𝘂𝗰𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗲𝗺𝗶𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀: advancing corporate fleet electrification is relatively straightforward due to companies’ structured operational patterns and centralised decision-making, which is an ideal starting point for accelerating the adoption of clean transport solutions. 📢 We call on the European Commission to swiftly propose legislation in the new mandate that establishes ambitious targets for transitioning corporate fleets to zero-emissions.
