The future is electric – how can you take advantage of PM’s 10-point plan to transition your fleet
Under the Prime Minister’s new ten point plan for a green industrial revolution, new petrol and diesel cars will be banned from 2030. In the next decade, there will be major developments paving the way for the transition to electric vehicles.
This will call for the national infrastructure to be transformed to better support electric vehicles. Investing in zero-emission public transport of the future will also be part of the overall push for a greener society.
Forward thinking companies have been gearing up for the transition of their fleet to electric vehicles ahead of the announcement. Our clients see this as an opportunity to develop their reputation and fulfil their corporate social responsibilities. Indeed, electric vehicle implementation has now become one of the core sustainability strategies for the majority of organisations.
Whether your business is switching to pure-electric, range-extended electric or plug-in hybrid vehicles, key to this would be the development of both the electricity network and electric vehicle charging infrastructure to support the transition.
Why go electric
