A new report by Europcar has highlighted the firm’s progress and key landmarks as the mobility provider focuses on delivering more sustainable motoring for business and leisure drivers.
A new report, called ‘Plugged into Sustainability’, highlighted the firm’s progress in the company’s own sustainability journey, and demonstrated how it aimed to help businesses and private motorists make the transition to zero emissions mobility.
According to its study, it drove customers more than 3.5 million EV miles last year, with 50,000 more EV rental days year-on-year. In addition, almost all of its corporate customers now have access to EVs, and 12% of the rental fleet are battery-electric vehicles or plug-in hybrids by the end of 2023. This is a year-on-year increase of 379%.
Mark Newberry, Commercial Director & Sustainability spokesperson, Europcar Mobility Group UK, said:
“We are committed to helping businesses and private motorists make the change from ICE to electric, through innovative tech-based solutions, electrification across our network, and a growing range of low and zero emission vehicles.
“And we do not just ‘talk the talk’, we also ‘walk the walk’, with our rental fleet increasingly electrified as well as the integration of EVs into our own operations, such as for our Delivery & Collection service.”
“Moving a business to a zero emissions strategy requires clear thinking, detailed planning and a hands-on real-world experience. Our carefully designed EV solutions are future-proofing the whole mobility process and already support many organisations as well as private motorists on their sustainability journeys.”
