Frost & Sullivan: Electric Vehicles Voice of the Consumer - What is the Potential for Electric Vehicles Within Business Fleets in Europe?

LONDON -

- Frost & Sullivan to Host Analyst Briefing on Electric Vehicles, on Tuesday, 13 October 2009, at 3:00 pm BST

The global electric vehicles (EV) market is expected to revolutionise the automotive industry, ushering in a plethora of new technologies, innovative business models, and new entrants. Business fleets may well become a strong potential market for EVs as companies strive to reduce their carbon footprint and lower their operations costs. By interviewing fleet managers and fleet drivers, this briefing will analyse the driving habits of fleets operating in six key business segments, including the Business Delivery and Postal & Courier markets, in France, Germany and the UK.

To examine the potential uptake in these markets and understand what each would require from Electric Vehicles, the Automotive & Transportation Group at Frost & Sullivan (www.transportation.frost.com) is pleased to announce that it will be hosting an online analyst briefing presentation on Tuesday, 13 October, 2009 at 3:00 pm BST.

This briefing will benefit vehicle manufacturers, suppliers, governments, utility and infrastructure companies and anyone interested in understanding the business fleet potential for EVs in Europe.

“In recent months, many businesses across Europe including Tesco in the UK and Chronopost in France, have either begun trials or have already incorporated EVs into their fleet. Some say that the regular pattern of fleet vehicle movements (i.e. regular distance driven, same overnight parking location) makes EVs ideally suited to business applications. It is important to understand the decision-making process Fleet Managers take when choosing their fleet, including how important aspects such as low CO2 emissions are in their vehicle choice and how much of their fleet could feasibly be electric by 2015,” observes Industry Manager Catherine Butterworth.
