For as long as I’ve been in the fleet industry, I’ve been twiddling around with this question. Can fleets really be sustainable without EVs?
With a major lack of electric vehicle options to replace medium- and heavy-duty ICE trucks, EVs are unfortunately not a viable option for many utility fleets around the world…yet.
As manufacturers continue to prioritize the electrification of non-commercial cars, SUVs and pickup trucks, fleets in need of heavier duty electric equipment are left without options. Which isn’t great – but in all fairness, it is easier to start with a vehicle line-up with smaller battery needs.
This doesn’t make internal combustion engine fleets a lost cause for sustainable practice though.
With sustainability being such a hot topic of the past decade, experts and advocates have evaluated how nearly all human activity could be improved to be greener. This is good news for fleet managers who do, in fact, have options for moving forward with sustainability goals, despite the lack of EVs.
