The electrification of freight transport is gaining momentum. More companies are testing their first vehicles, building pilot fleets or planning the next step in lower-emissions transportation. At the same time, it’s becoming clear that a vehicle alone doesn’t determine whether an electric truck will prove itself in everyday use. Just as important is the question of whether it can be charged while on the road.
High temperatures in the summer pose specific challenges not only for people but also for vehicles. Drivers of electric or hybrid vehicles should keep a few things in mind – especially regarding range, battery preservation and charging on the go.
The decision between an electric car, a hybrid and a traditional internal combustion engine vehicle is complex and affects not only the type of vehicle but also the company’s overall mobility strategy – from costs and charging infrastructure to integration with digital systems and employee engagement.
Fuel cards and on-board units (OBUs) have become an indispensable part of everyday fleet management. They enable cashless processing of fuel and toll costs – saving time and making life easier for drivers.
Employee fuel cards go far beyond refuelling – they simplify the processing of fuel and vehicle-related services, ensure transparent cost control and optimise administrative processes. A fuel card is therefore a valuable tool for companies with company vehicles and field staff.
Transitioning to electric mobility is getting easier: Find out which incentive programmes are available in 2026 for charging infrastructure and electric vehicles, and how to make the most of them.
A major toll charge change in the Netherlands is imminent. On 1 July, the country will replace its national Eurovignette system with a distance-based toll system for trucks. Eurovignettes will continue to apply in other member states.
