Why Transitioning to a Greener Fleet in 2025 is the Way Forward

With “70% of new vans sold in Great Britain set to be zero emission by 2030”, the shift to a greener future is accelerating. Battery electric vehicles will play a progressively vital role in the UK van market as businesses embrace more eco-friendly solutions.

The Benefits of Switching to an Electric Fleet

Why not celebrate the arrival of the new year by incorporating something new and sustainable within your business? Switching to a green fleet brings lasting benefits for your drivers, your operations, and the environment.

Here are just some of the ways this big transition can lead to a future of positive impacts for both your fleet and the wider environment:

Driver comfort – Electric vans deliver smoother, quieter journeys and include features like climate control before you even enter the vehicle. Keeping drivers safe, comfortable, and satisfied ensures every trip is a positive one.
Running costs – Electric vans often cost less to run than diesel models. With fewer moving parts and stronger braking systems, they cut maintenance costs while improving safety.
A sustainable future – Electric vans produce zero CO₂ and NOx emissions, helping to improve air quality and create a cleaner environment for everyone.

What’s Next?

The Association of Fleet Professionals (AFP) state that it is becoming more widespread that when a fleet wants to order several vans, manufacturers often want 10% of them to be electric (reflecting the 2024 ZEV mandate). This number will only increase, meaning it’s best to prepare for a more sustainable future now.

Stay prepared with Dawsongroup vans, as we simplify the switch with our tailored solutions to suit your business needs. Our Smarter Asset Strategy makes this even simpler, giving you the flexibility to hire our top-of-the-range electric vehicles to expand your fleet in your own time while managing business fluctuations.
