Executive Summary
The electrification and optimization of fleets is shifting from a health and safety prerogative – mainly focused around air quality – to a decarbonization priority for many businesses. Sectors with a high proportion of fleet emissions, such as postal services, telecommunications and consumer goods, are setting ambitious reduction targets, and adopting different levers to decarbonize their fleets – ranging from optimizing existing fleets to purchasing electric vehicles (EVs) and sustainable fuels. This report identifies tech solutions and innovations in the fleet decarbonization market, as well as new business models, and examines how they are evolving.Corporate strategies to tackle fleet emissions vary by industry
