TELETRAC NAVMAN : THE EV READINESS TOOL

Risk vs risk — the fleet electrification dilemma Stagnance is the first potential risk to fleets — standing still in an industry where movement is key could cost more in the long-term as competitors look to leverage new technologies first . This is understandable in an industry that is more traditional in its approach to operations , but it ’ s safe to say , open-mindedness could mean the difference between winning the electrification race and being left behind . On the flip side , the unknown is the unknown , and with new technologies — especially those reinventing conventional approaches — there will also be uncertainty , and those that accept the risks with their eyes wide open will prosper .
Helping organisations get to grips with the EV way of operating , Teletrac Navman is working with fleet managers to make the steady transition to electrified cars , trucks and vans .
The EV Readiness Tool allows supply chain businesses to structure their current fleets in such ways that align with best practices for EVs , leveraging data , reporting , and using this information to map out a journey to zero-emission vehicle ( ZEV ) adoption .
Users of the EV Readiness Tool benefit greatly from data insights and earlyadoption to make the most of tax breaks , save on costs , and avoid further hindrance , including :
• Switching vehicles at the wrong times
• Costly consultations
• Investment in new ICE options that will go out of date faster
• Lack of preparation for the ICE ban in 2030
• Buying vehicles with insufficient range
• Complication with charging infrastructure
