Who knows it all?<\/h2>\n

Electrification is quite complex for fleet operators \u2013 regardless of whether they are considering a complete or partial transition. It all starts with choosing the right car. Not every electric car will suit every application or driving profile. And, in contrast to combustion engine models, an electric fleet requires a well thought-out, integrated charging concept if the cars are to be ready for action at all times. Moreover, the car policies have to be adapted and new billing models designed. Last, but not least, there is also the question of the charging infrastructure \u2013 in the company and at the employee\u2019s home. A certain lead time should therefore be built in when transitioning fully or partially to electric mobility.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css=”.vc_custom_1664531119880{margin-top: 70px !important;margin-bottom: 70px !important;}”][vc_column width=”1\/6″][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”2\/3″][vc_separator][vc_single_image image=”26729″ img_size=”200×200″ alignment=”center” style=”vc_box_circle”][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

\u201eAs is so often the case, a supposedly simple process like procuring electric vehicles can involve a lot more. An integrated view is needed if the electric evolution is not to quickly lose its impetus.\u201d<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

Who can help me?<\/h2>\n

The first point of contact for all topics concerning fleet electrification are the international key account managers from Volkswagen Financial Services and Volkswagen Group Fleet International; the regional key account managers in the respective market are naturally also on hand. In collaboration with partners, such as Volkswagen Group Charging GmbH (Elli), they can provide major clients with a comprehensive service package on the topic of electric mobility \u2013 from the smart wall box for use at home by the company car driver to fuel cards for charging at public charging stations through to an in-house charging infrastructure at the company.[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1668978418669{margin-top: 70px !important;}”]<\/p>\n

Where do I start?<\/h2>\n

The first step in successfully electrifying the fleet is to check the driving profile. How many kilometres do employees actually travel on average with their company cars? What costs and emissions arise from these journeys? And at what times of the day are the cars usually on the road or can be charged?<\/p>\n
