Electric fleets could reduce UK CO2 emissions by 3.4 million tonnes a year
Study reveals that there are over 2.3 million vans in Great Britain owned by businesses, each travelling an average of 17,500 miles a year. With a typical diesel van producing 154g of CO2 per mile, one commercial van emits an estimated 4.3 tonnes of CO2 annually. This equates to 10.3 million tonnes of CO2 being produced each year by commercial vans alone.
