Volvo Cars, Ford, Renault Group, Ikea and others call upon new climate Commissioner to deliver on his promise to electrify corporate fleets by 2030
New Climate Commissioner Šefčovič has said that “the Commission will launch a public consultation in preparation for future action to accelerate the electrification of corporate fleets by 2030.” Over 40 organisations — including company fleets, consumer groups, and environmental organisations — call upon Šefčovič to deliver on his promise., with those vehicles driving twice as much as private cars.
Accelerating the transition towards electric vehicles beyond existing policies is a necessity to achieve transport’s net-zero and the 2040 climate target of -90%. As such, the faster fleets electrify their company cars, the faster more households will be able to access more affordable electric vehicles powered by clean European electricity, the faster we can reduce transport emissions. This is a win-win for climate and consumers.
Corporate fleets are in a great position to lead the way on electrification, with many already committed to fully transitioning their fleets by the end of the decade through Climate Group’s EV100 campaign. On a total cost of ownership basis, electric vehicles have the advantage over polluting vehicles meaning electrification makes strong business sense too. A regulatory framework would simply ensure that all fleets are playing their part.
