Reflex Vehicle Hire has launched a new service which provides fleets with essential insights on the most suitable electric vehicles to replace their current diesel and petrol cars and vans.

EV:IE (Electric Vehicle Information Exchange) uses data about a company’s fleet and journey patterns (including information collected through telematics) to identify cars and vans that could transition to plug-in technology immediately and also helps to create a longer-term transition plan. EV:IE gives simple, actionable insights derived from a wealth of complex data that it can analyse.

Analysis using EV:IE focuses on three areas: EV Range; Recharging; and Cost.

A final vital element of the service is an environmental impact summary, with a full calculation of potential CO2 savings from making the switch.

Lisa Spong, Reflex Vehicle Hire Sales Director, said: “EV:IE is the result of more than a year of discussions with fleet operators. It empowers a conversation between fleets, management and suppliers about the future, so businesses can prepare for 2030 and beyond.

“EV:IE saves managers hours of work trawling through data; instead, we provide an immediate vision of the future, with vital insights on fleet transition without the need for extensive additional analysis or research by under-resourced fleet departments. Our innovation provides a solid foundation on which to build the future of fleet, allowing managers to maintain their focus on day-to-day operation of safe and efficient vehicles.”

Aaron Cawrey, Head of Fleet added: “Our early intervention to support electric vehicle adoption means more than one million miles have been driven in zero-emission capable vehicles from Reflex Vehicle Hire. EV:IE is the latest stage in our campaign to support the industry’s transition while ensuring fleets remain safe and efficient, whichever fuel they use.”
