The Federal government as launching customer of electric mobility

TML analysed the current vehicle fleet of several federal government departments and autonomous public enterprises, with the aim of facilitating replacement by electric vehicles. Six pilot projects for between 1,500 and 2,000 vehicles were identified, mapping investment and net costs and environmental impact for each project.
The FPS Economy has drawn up a National Master Plan for promoting electric mobility in Belgium that aims to make electric mobility in Belgium a success story. One of the 13 action domains is the role of the government as a launching customer. This action domain concerns using the government fleet as a test case, a pioneer for switching from conventional to electric mobility within their own fleet.
In this study, TML analysed the current fleet of several federal government departments and autonomous public enterprises with the aim of achieving replacement by electric cars. We examine EV alternatives, usage patterns, sites, and necessary charging infrastructure.
We identified six possible pilot projects for the 1,500 - 2,000 vehicles in the federal government departments' fleet. For each pilot project, we calculated the investment cost and total net cost (or revenue) over the lifetime of the cars, including the environmental impact.
Some interesting avenues include replacing some of the conventional pool and/or intervention cars with electric variants. The introduction of electric bicycles and replacing allocated vehicles for executive officers with electric variants offer prospects for the introduction of electric mobility in federal government fleets.
