How is that?<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"iv-modul__answer\">\n<p>In our company, the vehicles are viewed as a benefit, so part of employee remuneration. I am responsible for the international car policy and therefore decide which vehicles will be available to employees for selection. This also includes the drive type. In the past, the choice was limited to petrol or diesel, now we are moving to electric vehicles \u2013 and specifically those from the Volkswagen Group.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<div class=\"question-answer-modul abstractContentComponent parbase section\">\n<div class=\"iv-modul__question\">\n<div class=\"iv-modul__question\">\n<div class=\"question-answer-modul abstractContentComponent parbase section\">\n<div class=\"iv-modul__question\">\n<div class=\"iv-modul__question\">\n<div class=\"iv-modul__question\">\n<div class=\"iv-modul__question\">\n<div class=\"iv-modul__question\">\n<div class=\"iv-modul__question\">\n<p><strong>Why did you decide to switch to electric vehicles?<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"iv-modul__answer\">\n<p>We primarily made the decision for financial reasons. When I took over responsibility for our fleet more than ten years ago, it became apparent that our existing fleet would become more expensive \u2013 keyword CO\u2082 emissions. I therefore switched over at that time to vehicles with lower emission values. The expectation now is that, in comparison with conventional drives, electric cars will pay off in the medium term. I only recently did a calculation for our fleet in Belgium. The result: owing to tax changes and taking account of running costs, we will already have reached the break-even point by 2023 for a vehicle added to the fleet today.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<div class=\"iv-modul__question\">\n<div class=\"question-answer-modul abstractContentComponent parbase section\">\n<div class=\"iv-modul__question\">\n<div class=\"question-answer-modul abstractContentComponent parbase section\">\n<div class=\"iv-modul__question\">\n<div class=\"iv-modul__question\">\n<div class=\"iv-modul__question\">\n<div class=\"iv-modul__question\">\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 18pt; color: #83b7c7;\">\u201cWith the Volkswagen Group, I have found a single source supplier with just a single contact for all of Europe, with whom I can discuss my requirements and make plans.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_separator color=&#8221;custom&#8221; align=&#8221;align_left&#8221; el_width=&#8221;30&#8243; accent_color=&#8221;#83b7c7&#8243;][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<div class=\"iv-modul__question\">\n<div class=\"question-answer-modul abstractContentComponent parbase section\">\n<div class=\"iv-modul__question\">\n<div class=\"question-answer-modul abstractContentComponent parbase section\">\n<div class=\"iv-modul__question\">\n<div class=\"iv-modul__question\">\n<div class=\"iv-modul__question\">\n<div class=\"iv-modul__question\">\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 10pt; color: #83b7c7;\"><cite><strong>Fer Derwort<\/strong><br \/>\n<\/cite>European Fleet Manager, Infor<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<div class=\"iv-modul__question\">\n<div class=\"iv-modul__question\">\n<p><strong>Is there a specific plan for when the fleet will become all-electric?<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"iv-modul__answer\">\n<p>Yes and no. The plan was to only offer employees electric vehicles by the end of 2021. We felt that the key to successfully achieving this was a good charging infrastructure. And the required infrastructure had already been established at a number of European sites, with more countries set to follow. Then the situation changed with COVID-19. Pandemic restrictions meant that employees worked from home \u2013 it was not obvious when and in what numbers they would return to the office. This also called into question whether we could continue to work on the assumption of our original infrastructure plan. Combined with the issues surrounding semiconductors, this is now leading to delays.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<div class=\"question-answer-modul abstractContentComponent parbase section\">\n<div class=\"iv-modul__question\">\n<div class=\"iv-modul__question\">\n<div class=\"iv-modul__question\">\n<p><strong>How many vehicles are involved?<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"iv-modul__answer\">\n<p>Some 1,500 drivers are entitled to company cars at Infor in Europe. They can either choose from the vehicles we have identified in the Group portfolio \u2013 or they can claim a cash allowance. In the second case also, however, the company cars have to meet certain requirements and comply with our car policy. For example, our fleet does not include coup\u00e9s or convertibles.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<div class=\"iv-modul__question\">\n<div class=\"iv-modul__question\">\n<div class=\"iv-modul__question\">\n<p><strong>What prompted the decision in favour of Volkswagen Group models?<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"iv-modul__answer\">\n<p>There are a number of reasons for this. First of all, we need a very broad range of vehicle models. Volkswagen and Audi \u2013 and the other Group brands \u2013 offer a number of vehicles for each level in our tiered system, from the Volkswagen up! to the Audi A8 L, from SUVs to estates to saloons \u2026 in other words I have a single source supplier with a single contact for all of Europe, with whom I can discuss my requirements and make plans. There is just a single leasing company for everything: Volkswagen Financial Services AG. I therefore communicate with just two people for all countries within my area of responsibility. Over the eleven years of the collaboration, we have been able to jointly overcome all challenges that have arisen. For me, it\u2019s not just about being a provider, but also a true partner.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<div class=\"iv-modul__question\">\n<div class=\"question-answer-modul abstractContentComponent parbase section\">\n<div class=\"iv-modul__question\">\n<div class=\"question-answer-modul abstractContentComponent parbase section\">\n<div class=\"iv-modul__question\">\n<div class=\"iv-modul__question\">\n<div class=\"iv-modul__question\">\n<div class=\"iv-modul__question\">\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 18pt; color: #83b7c7;\">\u201cEvery conversion, every change costs money.

It has to be properly planned. It has proven worthwhile for us that the users can charge their vehicles 80% at home or at the office. We then charge the remaining 20% at public charging stations during the journey, either in the city or on the motorway.
