Professional Development Forums WORDS BY DANIEL BRAID BRISBANE February 20 TOPIC The integration of EV’s in Fleet, what are the challenges and benefits, are you ready? Darren Wishart | Senior Lecturer | Griffith University Tickets Sold Out With worldwide attention being devoted to the development of Electric Vehicles (EVs) as a solution to mobility and transport issues, many major vehicle manufacturers have already implanted production strategies to phase out the production of internal combustion engine vehicles in the next few years. With these impending changes, it is anticipated that the uptake of EVs will increase exponentially over upcoming years – presenting a number of challenges and implications for your fleet operations that may require further consideration. While the benefits associated with EVs are attractive to organisational fleets, this presentation focuses on how fleets can better integrate EVs into their fleet environment both now and into the future.
