Navigating the energy transition in commercial fleet management

• Actionable strategies to reduce fleet carbon emissions include reducing idling, optimizing vehicle and fleet sizes, and deploying low- and zero-emission vehicles.
• A robust change management plan can significantly contribute to decarbonization efforts, ensuring stakeholder engagement, policy updates, and effective transition roadmaps.
• Light-duty EVs now offer comparable performance and economic advantages compared to traditional ICE vehicles.

Launched in 2021 under the leadership of the EDF Group, the EVVE (Environmental Valorization of Virtual Energy storage) project aims to deploy 800 vehicle-to-grid (V2G) charging stations in Europe. The aim is to demonstrate that by storing low-carbon electricity, electric vehicles can help to reduce CO2 emissions. The project will pave the way for the arrival on the market of new V2G functionalities based on the "Combo CCS " European charging standard.

The Employee Mobility Survey 2024, an independent study completed by Arval Mobility Observatory in cooperation with Ipsos, highlights current practices and expectations of employees regarding their company’s mobility offers.
