| 摘要： | The electric revolution is well and truly underway. Having bumped along on minimal early adopter sales for more than a decade, the EV market has taken off, with more than 245,000 battery electric vehicles (BEV) on UK roads at the end of April 2021, along with 270,000 plug-in hybrids (PHEV). It's been less rapid in the light commercial vehicle market, with BEV sales accounting for under 1% of overall registrations, but that is changing too, as new models are launched. Plenty of companies are keen to trial a BEV on their fleets, with several larger deals in recent months. Facilities management firm Mitie ordered 655 Vauxhall Vivaro-e vans this year (pictured, p34), while British Gas is set to run 1,000 Vivaro-e models. Last-mile delivery companies have also been among the first adopters, with the likes of DPD now operating EV-only micro-depots in London. Indeed, DPD, which currently operates more than 700 BEVs in the UK, has announced plans to deliver to 25 of the UK's largest towns and cities using zero and low-emission vehicles by 2025. |
