The transition to more sustainable and environmentally friendly mobility has become a major issue in France. The government aims to reach 80 MtCO2e by 2050, which means reducing emissions by almost 6 times compared to 2018 (445 MtCO2e). The transport sector currently accounts for 30% of CO2 emissions, thus...
Electric retrofitting, an opportunity for greening and cost savings for professional vehicle fleets. Fleet management is a major challenge for many companies, especially those using light commercial vehicles (LCVs). Regular fleet renewal is essential to ensure the safety of drivers and passengers, but it...
