Electric trucks could enhance driver retention. These vehicles are easier to drive, less noisy, have lower vibration levels, and drivers won't have to smell diesel fumes all day.

Oscar Delgado

Center manager, International Council on Clean Transportation

Our 2015 white paper found that if we operationalized about 330 EVs into our fleet, we would save about $3.5m over a 10-year lifecycle of the vehicles.

Rick Harland

Assistant director of fleet mobility services, City of Austin, Texas

The electric vehicle boom is driving a revolution not only in the automotive industry, but for businesses too. We’ve seen a first wave of electrification focusing largely on light commercial vehicles. Now, it’s time to accelerate the transition by converting larger fleet vehicles.

But what does the road to an EV future look like?

The electric vehicle boom is driving a revolution not only in the automotive industry, but also for businesses and the environment. We’ve seen a first wave of electrification focusing largely on light commercial vehicles. Now, it’s time to accelerate the transition by converting larger fleet vehicles.

But what does the road to an EV future look like?

Meg Wright, head of innovation at FT Longitude, explores how businesses are tackling EV fleet transition and management with Charlotte Argue, Geotab’s senior manager for sustainable mobility, along with two industry thought leaders:

Oscar Delgado, Center manager at the International Council on Clean Transportation

Rick Harland, Assistant director of fleet mobilit services at the City of Austin, Texas

They discuss how fleet managers are approaching the opportunities and avoiding the pitfalls of transitioning to electric, and explore what it takes to operate an EV fleet in today’s data-enabled world.
