POWER YOUR SUSTAINABILITY JOURNEY WITH DATA-DRIVEN INSIGHTS
In Australia , transport contributes 19 % of the country ’ s total carbon emissions . By 2030 , it is estimated that the transportation sector will become the country ’ s largest source of emissions . Driven by this concern , many organisations are starting to adopt Electric Vehicles ( EVs ).
In 2023 , Australia has seen a 120.5 % increase in the sale of EVs as compared to a year ago . For fleet managers , transitioning an entire fleet is a gradual and complicated process . From ensuring that the new EV fleet reduces its carbon footprint to maintaining operational objectives in a cost-effective manner , here ’ s how telematics can contribute to a seamless transition process .
