Demand and feasibility clarified, funding applications submitted and electric vehicles successfully integrated. Now we can see how electric vehicles \u201cwork\u201d in fleet operation. Safety aspects play an important role here in particular. We take a look at the special e-features of relevance for driver training\u00b9\u207e, maintenance and insurance\u00b9\u207e.<\/h2>\n

You take a fleet vehicle with a combustion engine and replace it with a battery-electric vehicle \u2013 simple. But as any fleet manager who has already tackled electric mobility and what comes with it will naturally know: it\u2019s just not that simple unfortunately. That\u2019s because apart from topics such as the charging infrastructure and such like, the new technology has its challenges, too. In this article we take a look at the important aspects of driver training, maintenance and insurance.<\/p>\n

Driver training\u00b9\u207e: how electric mobility works<\/b><\/h3>\n

Driver training in line with the German accident prevention regulations (UVV)\u00b2\u207e eis very much carried out by the book: year on year. New or different sources of danger, application areas and vehicle features, which have to be addressed separately, do not really need to be added all that often. This is now changing with the new drive system, which makes it essential to adapt the documents and the process.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The basis for this is the updating of the existing risk assessment, in which all, even only theoretically possible risks related to use of an electric vehicle must be identified. The results of the risk assessment are then incorporated in the driver training. Drivers therefore need to know the potential risks associated with using electric vehicles, how they should respond to protect themselves and others should such risks occur, and how they can prevent problems.\u00b3\u207e Templates and training programmes are offered by a number of providers in this respect.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
