Flotauto Lyon trade fair, held on 19/20 October at La Sucrière, was an opportunity for fleet management professionals to meet and discuss the latest trends in the industry.
Energy transition, a priority
The energy transition was at the heart of the debates at this year's event. Professionals were able to discover the latest innovations in electric and hybrid vehicles.
Businesses are facing a number of pressures, particularly as a result of environmental legislation. Target 55" requires all EU countries to work towards reducing emissions by at least 55% by 2030 and making member states carbon neutral by 2050.
In this context, the energy transition of vehicle fleets is a necessity for companies. Electric and hybrid vehicles offer a solution to help companies reduce their carbon footprint and meet the targets set by the legislation. A few weeks ago we gave you some tips on how to electrify a fleet. Now let's see what we can learn from the latest edition of Flotauto.
Record-breaking autonomy range for new electric and hybrid cars
Car manufacturers showcased their new models, some with significant improvements in autonomy range. Charging solution providers also introduced their latest proposals, adapted to the needs of companies of all sizes.
Here are some of the new electric and hybrid models exhibited at Flotauto Lyon 2023:
Renault Megane E-Tech
Volkswagen ID.3
Ford Mustang Mach-E
Mercedes EQB
These new models offer companies a range of options to suit their needs and budget. All are designed to provide autonomy enough for the day-to-day needs of most businesses.
Going digital, another major challenge
Going digital is also a major challenge for fleet managers. Software and management tools are being developed to meet increasingly complex needs.
Flotauto Lyon was an opportunity for professionals to discover the latest fleet management solutions.
The digitalisation of fleet management is an ongoing process. The solutions offered by software publishers are diversifying and adapting to the needs of companies. Fleet managers must therefore keep up to date with technological innovations in order to choose the solutions best suited to their needs.
