The business case for commercial fleets to go electric is getting stronger as technology advances reduce costs and companies search for viable solutions to growing urbanisation and environmental challenges. This has been further accelerated with the advancement of the deadline to end the sale of internal combustion engines in the UK by 2030\.This project seeks to address several barriers to fleet electrification, particularly those with home-start vehicles, whilst also improving the guidance on installing accessible infrastructure.Commercially, fleet electrification can lead to reduced risk from potential future regulation, and in the short term, the possibility of lower maintenance and fuel costs. Tax breaks, grants and other financial incentives also may be available to companies that convert to a zero-emissions fleet.As a provider of charging infrastructure to councils and telematics solutions to fleets, EB is well placed to develop, test and commercialise a solution in this space and is well supported by partners Brighton and Hove City Council and Disabled Motoring UK. This project will accelerate the market, using technology to unlock constraints so that the fleet can get accurate reports of usage, energy costs and revenues, arising from the use of smart charging and operators of EV charging infrastructure can benefit from new support on accessible infrastructure.

随着技术进步降低成本，以及企业寻求可行的解决方案来应对日益增长的城市化和环境挑战，商业车队转向电动化的商业理由越来越强。随着到2030年在英国结束内燃机销售的最后期限的提前，这一趋势进一步加速。该项目旨在解决车队电气化的几个障碍，特别是那些使用自启动车辆的障碍，同时还改善了安装无障碍基础设施的指导。从商业角度来看，车队电气化可以降低未来潜在监管的风险，并且在短期内，降低维护和燃料成本的可能性。作为一家为市政局提供充电基础设施和为车队提供远程信息处理解决方案的供应商，EB在开发、测试和商业化这一领域的解决方案方面处于有利地位，并得到了合作伙伴布莱顿和霍韦市理事会以及英国残疾人驾驶协会的大力支持。该项目将加速市场发展，利用技术解锁限制，使车队能够获得使用智能充电所产生的使用，能源成本和收入的准确报告，电动汽车充电基础设施的运营商可以受益于对可访问基础设施的新支持。
