Fleet Advantage recently unveiled its 'EV Path' programme at the IAA Transportation 24 Conference, aimed at aiding heavy-duty fleet organizations in transitioning to electric and alternative fuel trucks. The initiative, designed to provide a practical solution, aligns the monthly lease payments for electric trucks with those of diesel trucks, ensuring a more manageable investment level for fleets while potentially saving up to US$3,000 per truck per month and mitigating residual risk. Additionally, Fleet Advantage intends to expand its fleet services offerings later this year to include consultative services that assist fleet clients in optimizing the acquisition, utilization, maintenance, and surrender of EV and alternative fuel truck leases. Recent industry benchmark surveys indicate a growing interest in electric trucks, with a notable number of respondents planning to adopt EV and hydrogen vehicles in the next 5-10 years. Fleet operators are gradually shifting towards alternative fuel options, reflecting unique timelines and preferences in the transition process. Brian Holland, the president, and CEO of Fleet Advantage highlighted the significance of adopting electric trucks not only as an environmental mandate but also as a substantial financial commitment. The 'EV Path' programme aims to empower fleets by providing flexible financing solutions and practical fleet services support, bridging the gap between traditional diesel vehicles and the future of alternative fuel-powered transportation.
