This episode looks at fleet management and the growing interest in electric vehicles. The guest leads a fleet management business at an industrial internet of things provider, whose work centres on collecting data about vehicles and drivers, as well as industrial process controls, for customers with large numbers of assets.
The conversation draws on an independent survey of fleet operators about electric vehicle adoption, carried out around the time the first lockdowns began. Its main finding is that efficiency and cost savings are strong motivators: roughly half of respondents put fuel savings and lower maintenance costs ahead of environmental impact as their main reason. The talk also covers why efficiency, safety and sustainability matter to operations-focused businesses.
