According to a study by LeasePlan, the national leader in the rental market, more than 50% of their fleets would have a cost reduction if they bet on the electrification of their fleets.

 

A changing sector, the sustainability of the Planet, a requirement of the times. Mobility faces challenges never before seen and forces both the development of new technologies and new behavior of the new generations. It is now known that road transport has a significant contribution to air pollution: it is estimated that in Europe around 20% of total CO2 emissions come from this sector, with more than half of the cars on the road belonging to companies. Given that environmental concerns are high on the agenda of governments, the automotive sector and drivers, the electric vehicle market is booming. Corporate customers are increasingly requesting electric vehicles as part of their global sustainability and branding strategies. In addition, the cost of using electric vehicles is declining, and steady improvement in battery technology and charging means that "anxiety" about electric is becoming a matter of the past.

 

With 1.8 million vehicles under management in more than 30 countries, LeasePlan is committed to taking a leading role in the transition from internal combustion engines to alternative powertrains and aims to achieve zero net emissions from its total fleet by 2030 So he became a founding member of EV100, a new global transportation initiative that seeks to encourage companies to accept electric vehicles and at the same time assumed the transfer of the fleet of its employees to electric vehicles by 2021. As a national leader in the leasing market, LeasePlan plays an important role in facilitating the transition to zero-emission mobility by informing customers of what's next in low-emission vehicles and facilitating the adoption of such vehicles with attractive proposals for the clients. LeasePlan developed a study carried out in Portugal, where it was concluded that more than 50% of the fleets it manages would have a reduction of costs when passing to electric vehicles.

 

Based on this analysis, it is clear that there are economically viable alternatives to internal combustion engines. Electric vehicles prove to be particularly competitive in the Small General Family segments (for kilometers above 20,000 km / year) and Small Premium Family (for miles over 35,000 km / year); while plug-in hybrid vehicles are competitive in the General Family Medium (for kilometers above 20,000 km / year), Premium Family and Large Family (both for mileage above 10,000 km / year).
