FLEET MANAGEMENT

With the UK aiming to ban the sale of new petrol and diesel vehicles from 2030, businesses are beginning to focus on fleet electrification across all vehicle segments, including the practical challenges of incorporating electric vans into a commercial vehicle fleet.

We have put together this practical guide to help you better understand the latest Government guidelines on keeping you and your employees safe while using vehicles during the pandemic. We know not all businesses are the same so it is important to take into account the specific nature of your business and relevant actions required, including the size and type of business, how it is organised, operated, managed and regulated.

We hear a lot about the development of electric cars - and rightly so. But there’s another alternative vehicle technology that’s less talked about. And it’s reliant on the most common chemical element in the universe. Hydrogen.

Electric Vehicle technology has come on in leaps and bounds in the last few years with more model choice, greater battery range and an expanding public charging infrastructure.

Even the most careful and experienced of drivers sometimes find manoeuvring and reversing in car parks difficult. Most of us don’t do much reversing when you consider that a fraction of our driving time is backwards and the statistics speak for themselves. Around 28%* of all accidents with company cars involve reversing while parking and manoeuvring in car parks.

When you’re behind the wheel of a car – whether alone or with passengers – driving safely should always be your top concern. We’re more distracted than ever, so it’s crucial to know the basics of safe driving and practice them every time you’re on the road.
