A leading UK-based vehicle electrification company has called on the government to take immediate steps to support the transition of large van fleets to lower-emission alternatives, warning that the country’s net-zero ambitions are at risk without more flexible policy support.
In an open letter sent to senior government officials, including the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, Bedeo – which specialises in retrofitting large vans with electrified drivetrains – highlighted major challenges facing operators of larger light commercial vehicles (LCVs).
The company argues that existing policy frameworks are not sufficiently accommodating of the technical and operational realities involved in decarbonising heavier vans.
