electrification . The ability to receive over-theair updates and review data in real time allows organisations to adapt quickly and optimise their EVs .
“ It ’ s about providing those critical data points that will alert automatically . You don ’ t want to have to sit there as a fleet manager and be looking for this ; you want the system to actually tell you by exception when there is a risk .”
The method of powering a vehicle should not determine a fleet . If managers can leverage the data provided by a particular type of vehicle or system , they are able to adapt and plan contingencies , making their supply chains more resilient to the world around them . Integration with software and access to navigation systems these days means that drivers in any context can plan ahead more effectively .
Transitioning a fleet to EVs is like preparing a home for a newborn baby : it requires planning well in advance . If the correct facilities aren ’ t in place or in the right place when it comes to the big moment , the process is likely to be more stressful . Learning the works and understanding how the business will interact with EVs – and even putting some of those lessons into practice initially – will ease fleet operators in a more sustainable way . sustainabilitymag . com 113
