Navigating Fleet Decarbonisation
Featuring insights drawn from over 150 fleet executives globally, this new report from Shell and Deloitte is designed to help you understand the latest fleet decarbonisation challenges, while providing a practical guide with tools and frameworks to support you on your journey to net-zero emissions.
Your Guide to Fleet Decarbonisation
Passenger-carrying and light commercial vehicle fleets are essential to our economy and our way of life. However, businesses are facing increasing pressure to decarbonise from regulators, customers and employees. Discover how fleet owners globally are approaching this challenge, and explore a set of practical tools and frameworks created to help you develop your decarbonisation strategy, advance your electric vehicle (EV) transition and create a business case for change.
Key Research Highlights
Fleets across the globe need to take action and decarbonise now. To support you with your transition to net-zero emissions, our report shares new insights on the global fleet decarbonisation landscape alongside resources, tools and frameworks developed in collaboration with fleet owners to bridge the gap between ambition and action.
More than two thirds (68%) of fleet owners surveyed expect pressure to decarbonise 鈥� from regulators, customers and employees 鈥� to increase over time.
Almost half (46%) of fleet owners said they either have no decarbonisation targets, or it is unclear how existing targets translate to their fleet.
Three quarters (75%) of fleet owners have already implemented at least one solution to reduce emissions.
The majority (85%) of fleet owners surveyed stated decarbonisation was a top - three priority for them.
More than half (54%) of survey respondents expect EVs to make up 90% of their fleet by 2030, and most (95%) see electric vehicles as the long term solution.
Almost half (46%) of survey respondents cited restrictive operations - such as staffing, systems and current duty cycles - as a major barrier to deploying their decarbonisation strategy.
Navigating Fleet Decarbonisation: a guide to driving a successful transition
Exploring your route to net zero
Our latest report offers global industry perspectives on fleet decarbonisation, and provides fleet owners with the resources to explore their next steps, and measure their progress. Discover the set of tools and frameworks designed to help you make informed decisions for the future of your fleet as you work towards net-zero emissions.
Accelerate to Zero Roadmap
The location, size and make up of your fleet will all play a role in shaping your decarbonisation journey 鈥� as will the strategic needs of your business. Working out your next steps as you look to reduce emissions, improve total cost of ownership (TCO) and adopt low and zero carbon solutions (all while making sure you have the right mix of vehicles to support your operations) can be a significant challenge.
That鈥檚 exactly why Shell Fleet Solutions created its Accelerate to Zero programme, which combines end-to-end mobility solutions with expert consultancy services. Wherever you are on your decarbonisation journey, the four-phase programme can help you to develop a tailored roadmap to net zero for your business while making it easier to select, implement and take full advantage of the latest digital tools and solutions.
Organisational Readiness
To drive a successful fleet transition, businesses need to make sure they are prepared to make tough choices 鈥� and that their wider organisation is ready to support ongoing change. The decisions fleet managers make can have a significant impact on other areas of their business. Because of this, organisational readiness across areas like strategy, governance, people, technology, process, assets and infrastructure is critical in overcoming obstacles and driving progress.
The Organisational Readiness Toolset in the report can help fleet operators to manage these internal pressures. Featuring an ecosystem of modern fleet decision making, the success factors behind an effective transition and a maturity index, it helps businesses to understand where they are now 鈥� as well as how to take the next steps towards greater organisational readiness.
EV Transition Toolset
EVs are seen by most fleet owners (95%) as the long-term solution to decarbonisation. However, that doesn鈥檛 mean implementing them across your fleet will be simple. Businesses need to understand how much of their fleet can transition to EVs, based on their specific performance needs. Charging infrastructure must also be considered, and how this could impact your fleet鈥檚 operations.
To support your fleet with some of the complexities around the EV transition (as well as rapidly changing markets), the report provides a Electric Vehicle Transition Toolset. Explore the no-regret actions you can take, a full breakdown of the transition costs you need to consider and how duty cycle assessments can help you to predict your fleet鈥檚 EV performance needs.
Giorgio Delpiano, Senior Vice President, Shell Fleet Solutions and E-Mobility"Tackling climate change by driving emissions reduction is an urgent challenge, and as a result, today鈥檚 fleet businesses are facing increasing pressure to decarbonise 鈥� from regulators, customers and employees. We designed this report with Deloitte to better understand the key barriers our customers are facing, and to provide fleet owners with a set of tools and frameworks that aim to support decision making as they navigate both the challenges and opportunities ahead."
Matthew Guest, Partner, Deloitte"Although the fleet market is rapidly changing, and the decision-making environment remains complex 鈥� the opportunity for all fleets to decarbonise exists today, no matter what stage you are in your journey. This is why we partnered with Shell to develop a practical guide of essential tools and frameworks in the Navigating Fleet Decarbonisation report, to function as a foundation 鈥� helping fleet owners understand the preliminary steps needed to support the successful delivery of a decarbonisation strategy. That is also why we are working to electrify our own vehicle fleet as part of our WorldClimate programme."
