Climate change has rapidly become a pressing issue which requires immediate attention across all organisations. For businesses, like yours, involving a fleet, the journey towards sustainability is not only a corporate responsibility, but a matter of regulatory compliance and future-proofing operations.
The UK's 'Road to Zero' strategy presents a clear path towards a sustainable future, setting strict emission reduction milestones for the coming years. If you're in charge of managing a fleet - whether you're a fleet manager by title or by default - understanding these milestones is key.
This post will guide you through the important milestones of the 'Road to Zero' and the key considerations you need to make.
By 2027 the government aims for its own central car fleet to be fully zero emission.
This year marks a significant turning point with the ban on the sale of new petrol and diesel, and hybrid cars and vans. This means if you're planning to replace or add new vehicles to your fleet, you'll need to look at more sustainable alternatives.
This year will see the ban on the sale of new petrol and diesel heavy goods vehicles (HGVs). If your fleet includes HGVs, this milestone should drive your planning towards transitioning to low and zero-emission alternatives.
