Why are corporate fleets important?
“Trickle-down effect”: Corporate cars quickly become private cars via the second-hand market (average ownership of 36-48 months)
Increased acceptability: Corporate fleets are highly visible in our cities.
Bigger footprint : Corporate vehicles spend more time on the road = higher emissions

Corporate fleets Private vehicles and Public fleets
Our message: 100% of new vehicle purchase in corporate fleets to be electrified by 2030
A regulation to harmonize the European market by preventing risks of increased gaps between MS during the implementation.
A realistic yet ambitious mandate put on companies to decarbonise their vehicle fleets in accordance with the Green Deal’s objectives
A gradual approach to progressively but eventually reach the objective of 100% of new vehicle purchase in corporate fleets to be electrified by 2030.
Different targets might be set for specific market segments and industries.
Next steps
1. Fine-tuning our proposal on fleet electrification- Application threshold (25 cars/company turnover/ other criteria?)
- Fleets to prioritise
- Enforcement/penalties?
- Timeline
2. Next meeting with the EC- 23 June 2021: Valean Cabinet
3. Next working group meeting- Last days of June (exact date tbc)

Proposed workplan for 2021 - 2022
1. CO2 Emissions for trucks and buses
2. Weight & Dimension
3. Safe and Secure Parking Lots
Not only HDVs – rail, waterways, last-mile delivery can also be in the agenda depending on legislative calendar.
Timeline
1. CO2 Emissions for trucks and buses
Review and report to the EP / Council by 2022.
Ensure the revision will introduce ambitious but realistic targets and accompanying measures for the deployment of electric trucks and buses at EU level
2. Weight & Dimension
Proposal for the revision of the directive in 2022
Recommend measures to accelerate deployment of ZE HDV, to ensure a level playing field between traditional and ZE trucks
3. Safe and Secure Parking Lots
EC currently working on delegated act on the standards for such parking areas
Define the needs of ZE HDV and ensure the ambitions to upgrade trucks’ parking lots along the TEN-T takes the ZE HDV into account. Propose a set of policy solutions such as a minimum kWh capacity available at existing and futures fast-charging stations.
1. What are the solutions for electrifying the heavier traffic with it's 2% share of .
vehicles but 25% share of emissions?
2. Do the speakers know there are no charging points for HDV in Europe at the .
present time ?
3. What do you think is most important for electrification of heavy transport such as
trucks?
4. Do the speakers know busses are also HDV and that they need charging when in
operation ?
5. as HDV use specific charging devices it’s important to know what are the coming
regulations and goals in matter of HDV charging in the public domain ?
6. How are you projecting the growth of logistic fleets in numbers?
7. How do you see inclusion of the heavy goods road transport in the growing
electromobility sector?
8. What are DG Move's plans to introduce plug in power points for refrigerated
vehicles in truck parking areas to reduce the use of ICE powered TRU ( Transport
Refrigeration Units) while parked overnight or during mandated driver rest periods.
9. What is the expected coverage in terms of HDV vehicles in European countries,
especially in larger cities ( in terms of number of charging points, where and when
to be in operation ).
10. The acceleration of the introduction of amended regulations for new technologies
like eTrailer would be highly appreicated. The setting of targets is only one side of
the coin. The other side is to enable the industry to bring new technologies to the
market and in use.

Outline of ECF/Element EnergyConsumer Choice study
E-mobility: Inevitable, or not?Project overview & aims
(1) European Alternative Fuels Observatory (EAFO): EV Market Share of New Registrations (M1); Acronyms : ICE = internal combustion engines
Project Introduction
• EV sales rose sharply during 2020, accounting for 9% of European car sales compared with 3% in 2019⁽¹⁾
• Ongoing growth depends on:
1. Pace of technology development
2. EU & national policies to meet ICE phase out dates
3. European consumer attitudes
• This project will address the lack of authoritative evidence for consumer preferences and provide a comprehensive picture of government action required to reach decarbonisation goals
• The study will also investigate:
• Projected total cost of ownership of zero emission Commercial Vehicles (3.5t van, 26t rigid truck, artic truck)
• Benefits of grid integration, in light of projected EV uptake (literature review)
Objectives & Outcomes
• Develop and run a choice experiment (quantitative survey) to evaluate European consumer attitudes towards EVs, and how these will change in future
• Update and use a choice model to predict sales of different car powertrains out to 2050. Combine willingness to pay outputs from choice experiment with projections on technological development to account for consumer preferences in the longer term
• Develop scenarios of EV uptake in several European countries, to illustrate the effectiveness of different policy interventions, and the impact of technology improvement
• Engage with key stakeholders to ensure the work is relevant to all
One outcome will be analysing the meaning behind the study’s results, from which we expect to find that significant adoption of EVs has now become inevitable→ Demonstrating this rigorously will allow European debate to question actions needed to ensure EV transition benefits jobs & consumer interests
Consumers often report that they would like to buy an EV, but a core set of barriers are usually identified, with cost and charging infrastructure commonly raised
Choice experiment done on 2,000 new car buyers in the UK in 2015 (as well as at earlier date)
Understanding barriers is key to predicting EV uptake
• Purchase price• Driving range• Availability of charging infrastructure• Number and range of models available
However, little work has been done to quantify these barriers. This is the main benefit of a choice experiment.
Most existing studies have limitations which we hope to overcome
Survey Year Countries Sample size Choice experiment
JCR Results of stated preference survey 2017 1,248
T&E consumer attitudes to cleaner cars 2018 4,500
RAC report on motoring 2020 3,068
NewMotion EV Driver Survey 2020 4,492
bp On The Move 2019 12,000
GreenCar EV labelling 2020 2,000
ECF E-mobility: Inevitable, or not? 2021 14,000
• Small sample sizes• Poor or unclear representativeness of average consumers• Performed by invested parties, so bias perceived by readers• Limited to only a few or a single country; not covering whole EU • No quantification of barriers, such as through choice
