UK fleets missing ZEV Mandate targets – Alphabet
New research has found that fleets are falling well short of electric vehicle targets set by the ZEV Mandate.
According to a survey from Alphabet, 30% of fleet managers questioned said electric vehicles made up less than a quarter of their fleets, while 11% said they had not introduced any electric vehicles at all.
Announced during Net Zero Week (5-11 July), the survey also found that a third believe it will take another decade before government legislation leads to a reduction in carbon emissions.
Caroline Sandall Mansergh, consultancy and channel development manager at Alphabet (GB), said: “Our latest findings highlight the real challenges facing fleet managers today, as they navigate the transition to electrification.
“While some sectors are leading the way, there is still a huge amount of work needed to support other companies, and their drivers, to reduce their vehicle emissions.
“The need for clear, actionable strategies to transition to greener fleets must take priority if we are to reduce UK vehicle carbon emissions in a timely and effective manner.”
