UK car production fell by 11.9% in May as factories prepare for a new era of electric vehicles (EVs). Electrified vehicle (battery electric, plug-in hybrid and hybrid) production remained robust, with 26,475 units leaving factory gates – representing almost two fifths (38.0%) of all output, up by three percentages points compared with May 2023.

UK accelerates electric vehicle transition! 🚀 - 2030 ban on new petrol & diesel cars - Hybrid cars allowed until 2035 - £1.8 billion invested in electric infrastructure - 169,000 new jobs expected - A step towards net zero & cleaner air! #ElectricVehicles #Sustainability

Another really interesting video from FullyCharged.SHOW & Everything Electric Mercedes Electric trucks. I hear a lot about the future of trucks being hydrogen and not batteries but it looks like that might not be as black and white as it's sometimes made out to be. I'm not a truck driver and I've never worked in logistics so I don't know how useful a 200 mile range is, but it looks like there's potential in an EV truck future. What do you think; is the future of trucking BEV or Hydrogen? (ps if you still think it's diesel, I'd love to know why!) https://lnkd.in/enqUKh9R #electricvehicles #sustainability

Over the past 12 months, the deployment of electric heavy-duty trucks has surged. In the U.S. alone, the number of these vehicles on the road increased by 35%, showing a clear industry shift towards greener alternatives. Globally, this figure is even more promising, with a 45% increase in deployments, highlighting a worldwide commitment to sustainability. At #ACTExpo 2024, Dan Priestley highlighted their #TeslaSemi. James Carter posted about it here: https://lnkd.in/geP-3U8M Tesla Semi can replace diesel trucks 1 for 1. Electric medium and heavy-duty trucks are particularly well-suited for last-mile and local delivery. #Amazon & #Rivian have proven this out. Check out what's happening across the pond with HeavyDuty #EV's: https://lnkd.in/gcT43y-6 The future is electric, and the transportation industry is driving full speed ahead into this new era. Let's embrace these innovations and work together towards a cleaner, more sustainable future. 🌍⚡ #Sustainability #ElectricVehicles #HeavyDutyTrucks #TransportationInnovation #GreenLogistics #FutureOfTransport #ElectricTrucks

Very interesting to see that more than half of commercial drivers now believe that electric van operating costs would be lower than petrol or diesel equivalents. The new study, by Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles UK, also showed that two-thirds of UK van drivers say an EV would suit their day to day business needs 🚛🔋 This study supports the fact that transitioning to EV can help fleets save money by reducing operating costs.

"Meeting long-term decarbonisation targets without removing all petrol and diesel cars from the roads is impossible." Electrification must happen and will happen, despite temporary "blips". The real question is: which carmakers will come out stronger out of this transformation? Infrastructure will be crucial for widespread adoption. But true competitive edge lies in technological advancements and operational efficiencies. This is where logistics enters the picture. It's not just about getting EVs to the market efficiently; it's also about managing their lifecycle. From battery repair to second-life applications and recycling, logistics optimizes every stage of the EV journey. At #DHL, we're not just navigating this shift; we're driving it. By building efficient and agile regional logistics networks, we're empowering carmakers to embrace electrification fully. Together, let's build a sustainable future—one EV at a time. #DHL #ServiceLogistics #TeamEV #Decarbonization #Electrification #LogisticsInnovation

Assumption: Electric commercial vehicles are only for small, standard operations. – FALSE! – Here is one of the @RenaultTrucks #ETech range. Our electromobility trucks come with a vast range of body build, external equipment and personalisation options! #SwitchToElectric
