🚛 The math on sustainable last-mile delivery is clear: Lower operational costs. Better route optimization. Improved driver satisfaction. And a competitive edge with the 60% of customers who prefer low-carbon shipping options. But here's what some operators don't realize: In many regions, the monthly lease payment on an electric delivery van is actually LESS than what you're spending on fuel and maintenance for diesel vehicles right now. Add in stable electricity prices vs. volatile fuel costs, government incentives, and the fact that 1/3 of shipping RFPs now require EV services - and sustainable delivery starts looking less like a "nice to have" and more like a strategic imperative. Want to learn how the numbers work for your fleet? Check out our latest analysis on why sustainable last-mile delivery is becoming the smart business choice: [https://lnkd.in/gwbqQ9rY] #FleetManagement #Sustainability #LastMileDelivery #ElectricVehicles #SupplyChain

Our latest blog breaks down 5 practical steps to electrify your fleet: - Strategic needs assessment - Smart charging infrastructure planning - Integrating fleet management software - Risk-free gradual implementation - Choosing the right partners Plus: Learn how some fleets are achieving 20% + savings in fuel and maintenance costs.

🌍 Why are we, and others, working so hard to clean up transportation in our cities? To improve air quality 🌫️ Around the world, urban centers struggle with air quality issues, impacting the health of millions through respiratory diseases, stroke and heart disease. Decarbonizing how we move people and goods around our cities is a critical step towards better air quality and healthier cities. Want to see how healthy or polluted the air in your city is? The Alliance for Clean Air partnership between the World Economic Forum and Clean Air Fund has released "SmogStripes" - an easy-to-read air quality guide. It pulls from data in nearly 300 cities worldwide,  making daily pollution levels visible. 🚛 What’s our goal at 7Gen? To reduce those red and yellow bars, and increase the green ones, by reducing the barriers for fleets to deploy zero emission trucks and buses today. By doing so, we’re helping cities breathe a little easier. Learn more about SmogStripes platform and efforts for clean air by watching the World Economic Forum's video. Let’s work together for healthier, cleaner air. 🌱 #7Gen #CleanAir #ElectricFleets #ZeroEmissions #Sustainability #Pollution #AirQuality #FutureOfTransport #SmogStripes #PartnershipForTheGoals
