Although they only account for two percent of the vehicles on Europe’s roads, trucks and busses represent the second largest source of CO2 emissions in the transportation sector and are responsible for 25 percent of total CO2 emissions from road transport. The electrification of heavy commercial vehicles therefore offers an effective lever for reaching EU climate protection goals.
For transportation and logistics companies, switching from combustion engine vehicle to a battery-powered equivalent is a challenge. However, facing up to this challenge is not only good for the environment, but it can be economically worthwhile as well, as a total cost of ownership (TCO) analysis shows.
Looking at charging infrastructure, the recent expansion of the European charging network is pointing in the right direction, although significant further expansion is required.
UTA Edenred is actively promoting the spread of electromobility. With UTA eCharge®, we have a 360° charging solution for public charging, home and workplace charging in our programme for light vehicle fleets and are now expanding our charging offer for heavy commercial vehicles as well.
In our new whitepaper, we examine the state of electromobility for commercial vehicles, including regulatory requirements, charging infrastructure and technologies, growth forecasts for e-trucks and the cost of e-trucks compared to combustion engine equivalents. An interview with a subject matter expert and actionable recommendations provide decision makers with everything they need to know about transitioning to electric fleets and their competitive and cost advantages.
