About
With fewer than half of fleet leaders using total cost of ownership methodology when selecting their vehicles, this webinar will debate the key considerations and decision-making process you should follow to ensure you have the right vehicles and the right powertrain options on your fleet.

Using a multi-path decision-tree, fleet experts will discuss the use cases to help you decide the right powertrain– hybrid, plug-in hybrid, full electric, hydrogen – to support your transition to decarbonisation.

If you can’t attend live, register now, and we’ll send you the on-demand recording later.
