One year on from the announcement of the UK government&#8217;s Decarbonising Transport plan, industry experts encourage operators to act now and \u2018get smart\u2019 to lay foundations for data systems.<\/p>\n<p>Currently, just two in five companies who collect and report on primary (real-time) data of greenhouse gas and\/or carbon emissions are using the data to improve operational efficiency.<\/p>\n<p>To capitalise on the information available, Neos Networks suggests that investment is needed in network systems, employee expertise and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/featured\/transforming-construction-through-wireless-connectivity\/118596\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">connectivity infrastructure<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h3>Can the industry achieve the government&#8217;s net zero targets?<\/h3>\n<p>Over half (55%) of respondents were positive about meeting targets, though 45% of operators are still to be convinced.<\/p>\n<p>The greatest barrier to net-zero targets for three in five T&amp;L operators (61%) is high investment costs, followed by concern that some shippers are favouring lower costs over greener practices. 35% of operators stated that low costs being prioritised over sustainability is a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/energy-news\/the-construction-industry\/103833\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">significant obstacle to decarbonisation<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h3>Digitalisation could be the solution for a more sustainable logistics sector<\/h3>\n<p>Joanne Green, sales director for public sector and transport at Neos Networks, states:<br \/>\n\u201cWe regularly talk to leaders in the transport sector, and hear about the challenges they face when it comes to decarbonisation. Smart tech, AI and real-time data are already being introduced by many to enable them to become more efficient. These can be important first steps on the road to achieving net-zero.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The government has also recognised this, identifying <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/featured\/data-driven-insights-support-constructions-net-zero\/118145\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">greater use of AI and data tools as key to cutting freight emissions<\/a>, particularly for smaller operators. And yet, for any of these technologies to be truly beneficial, the sector must ensure they have the right infrastructure and support in place to enable them.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Across all kinds of industries, we\u2019ve seen that digital transformation is more successful when connectivity requirements are properly understood and budgeted for. Integrating smart technology and AI systems into operations is no different \u2013 it needs sufficient investment and upfront planning or it simply won\u2019t work.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2>Reducing operating inefficiencies could be a route to decarbonisation<\/h2>\n<p>Kerry Fawcett, digital director at iCompario, says:<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDecarbonisation is an obstacle for logistics and transport, but can also bring about major improvements \u2013 recognising that solutions need to be implemented to avoid climate disaster through mismanagement of resources in one of the most pollutive industries. Exploring new technologies will be the key to change.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere are ways to \u201cgo green\u201d in the industry by electrifying fleets, however, this comes at a substantial capital cost to the organisation. A soft route into this will be through the use of technology and insights into operating behaviour of vehicles and drivers to better understand how this can be improved.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cReducing idling hours, monitoring fuel usage and insights into driver behaviour will give leaders granular detail to make environmentally aware decisions regarding the use of their carbon-emitting assets.\u201c<\/p>\n<div class=\"mk-custom-module-container\">\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A new study has found that over half (55%) of UK companies are actively planning to adopt battery electric vehicles (BEVs) across their fleet in as little as five years. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":25,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[307],"tags":[652,430,639],"stakeholder_rel_tag":[],"contributor_rel_tag":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-118769","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","6":"category-energy-news","7":"tag-construction-vehicles","8":"tag-energy-efficiency","9":"tag-procurement"},"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v26.9 (Yoast SEO v26.9) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Battery electric vehicle freight fleets to be adopted by over half of UK sector<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"A new study has found that 55% of UK companies are actively planning to adopt battery electric vehicles in their freight fleets in as little as five years\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/energy-news\/battery-electric-vehicle-freight-fleets-to-be-adopted-by-over-half-of-uk-sector-plans-within-five-years\/118769\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Battery electric vehicle freight fleets to be adopted by over half of UK sector plans within five years\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"A new study has found that over half (55%) of UK companies are actively planning to adopt battery electric vehicles (BEVs) across their fleet in as little as five years\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/energy-news\/battery-electric-vehicle-freight-fleets-to-be-adopted-by-over-half-of-uk-sector-plans-within-five-years\/118769\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Planning, Building &amp;
