A study by transport specialist Geotab has shown that 60 percent of light commercial vehicles in Europe could already run on electricity.
A Europe-wide study the transport specialist Geotab occupied: Three of five light commercial vehicles could already drive electric cars today and save a lot of CO2 because distances traveled within the actual ranges. If a Argument always into the field against electromobility is carried out, then it is the Electromobility. That wanted Geotab, a global leader in IoT and connected transport solutions, to find out more and analyzed the anonymized data of 46.000 cars and commercial vehicles with combustion engines for one year (from December 30, 2020 to December 30, 2021) in 17 European countries.
The conclusion of the currently presented study: 60 percent of European passenger cars and light commercial vehicles in fleets could already through fully electric alternatives The owners would be replaced in Wallets feel: With a assumed useful life Over seven years, this corresponds to potential savings totaling 261 million euros.
The study "Profitable Sustainability: The Potential of European Fleet Electrification" had the operating cost and Environmental impact conventional lighter commercial motor vehicles with internal combustion engines (including cars, SUVs, minivans and light commercial vehicles) and compared them with their battery-electric counterparts compared. She evaluated the real performance data of electric vehicles and was able to convincingly proof some Return on Investment (ROI) and the positive sustainability impacts of electric vehicles.
Geotab According to fleet manager save an average of 9.508,47 euros per vehicle over a period of seven years, even if Savings through government incentives, such as Grants at the first purchase, not taken into account. Environment benefits from switching: More than five tons of CO2 emissions could be saved per vehicle. "Companies know that electric vehicles will determine the future of their fleets and are now able to measure some of the benefits of switching to battery power," says Klaus Böckers, Vice President, Nordics, Central & Eastern Europe, at Geotab"Our study represents a breakthrough that demonstrates the viability of switching to electric vehicles, which will help fleet operators achieve their sustainability goals." Furthermore, "it also shows that government incentives can have a significant positive impact on fleet electrification."

Across Europe, 86 percent of the range requirements of fleets in 98 percent of the time by an electric vehicle. This proves that the so-called range anxiety, a long-standing obstacle for the extensive electrification, for the majority of light fleets no problem represents more. Great Britain with 89 percent the highest proportion of long-range electric vehicles, followed by Spain (86 percent), the Netherlands (85 percent), Italy (77 percent), Germany (76 percent) and France (63 percent).
When looking at the Cost The United Kingdom was surpassed by continental Europe. 71 percent of electric vehicles in Italy are both long-range and economical, while Spain (70 percent) and Germany (69 percent) have similar values. In the United Kingdom, however, the figure is only 55 percent. "The ability of today's electric vehicles to meet the needs of European fleets is encouraging. Electrification of fleets is a step-by-step process and this study shows that companies that do not engage with electric vehicles can lose money.
Sustainability becomes an essential part of every company’s objectives, and Transport is one of the main components in this mix. Now is the ideal time to start using electric vehicles on a smaller scale in order to scale up later," says Böckers"Telematics data will play a crucial role, regardless of where companies are in the adoption of electric vehicles, as it will help them operate their entire fleet more efficiently and sustainably."
Companies can for example the Geotab tool Electric Vehicle Suitability Assessment (EVSA) use the existing Driving profiles a company and Geotabs Insight into fleet behavior to answer important questions for companies that have a electrification Consider this. Through the Analysis of driving behavior The EVSA tool determines which existing vehicles are suitable for electrification and suggests suitable electrical alternatives for specific purposes and quantifies how much companies can save in terms of both costs and potential carbon emissions can save.
