When Boris Johnson announced his much publicised 'Ten Point Plan For A Green Industrial Revolution' it provided the government's perspective on how decarbonising road transport will help reduce the sector's 28% contribution to the UK's carbon emissions and how we might achieve net-zero. Reducing our reliance on diesel seems a daunting prospect, but battery electric commercial vehicles (BECVs) are becoming more commonplace in the van sector, and numbers are expected to increase dramatically as new vehicles become available. Early starters such as Renault's Range D Z.E. models are available at 16 and 26 tonnes and we should expect an increasing number of major 'names' to soon join Suez, Warburtons and the parcel carriers in bringing larger electric vehicles into their fleets. |
