Alternative Powertrains Present New Challenges for the Global Fleet
2014-03-30 20:14:30| AutomotiveDigest.com - Automotive Industry News
The new challenge for international fleet managers is mapping the driving patterns of their drivers and linking them to the correct powertrain. Belgian company TCOPlus has developed a tool and an approach to help fleets make the right decisions. Global warming and the effect of Co2-emissions have initiated a focus on reducing the footprint of our beloved vehicle. The European Parliament has pushed OEMs to produce environmentally friendly cars while many governments have found the social acceptability of taxing cars based on their Co2-emissions. In the earlier stages of this evolution, switching to diesel cars was a quick win. Diesel technology improved tremendously, making these cars fun to drive. For many fleets with international sourcing programs, diesel vehicles became the one size fits all answer in Europe, reducing (tax) cost, reducing Co2-emissions and providing a fun driving experience.
