Sustainable fleet: The path to greener and more efficient business
Share
Corporate mobility is changing. Along with greater environmental awareness and new trends in electric mobility, more and more companies are making the transition to a sustainable fleet. Nowadays, fleet managers are no longer just concerned with ensuring the logistical needs of their businesses and guaranteeing good financial results. Sustainability has become a priority, which is why electric vehicles for companies are increasingly in demand.
Why invest in a sustainable fleet?
Switching to a sustainable fleet is a smart move for your business. In addition to the environmental benefits, electric vehicles offer several advantages for businesses. Here are some of the most important reasons to consider switching to a sustainable fleet.
Lower carbon footprint
As we know, electric mobility allows for a significant reduction in CO2 emissions, when compared to fossil fuel vehicles. By integrating electric and hybrid vehicles into your fleet, your company can reduce its environmental impact and actively contribute to fight climate change.
Cost savings
Sustainable mobility also means financial sustainability. Electric vehicles use often comes with lower fuel costs and reduced maintenance expenses, which translates into long-term operational savings for your company.
Tax incentives
In Portugal, there are several tax incentives for companies associated with the use of electrified vehicles. By renting an electric or hybrid car with Guerin, you can benefit from the following measures:
- Total deduction of VAT on energy consumption carried out on behalf of the company, related to the charging of electric vehicles or plug-in hybrids;
- Total deduction of VAT associated with the cost of hiring electric or plug-in hybrid vehicles;
- Free parking fees for electric or hybrid cars in some regions or municipalities that offer additional incentives.
A responsible brand image
Implementing a sustainable fleet can also strengthen your company's competitiveness and brand perception. Like companies, consumers are increasingly aware of environmental issues and sustainable practices. Switching to an electric fleet helps you meet these expectations and improve your brand reputation.

A step-by-step guide to switch to a sustainable fleet
- Assess your needs: Start by understanding your company’s needs. Analyse the type of use your vehicles get, their mileage, and common driving routes.
- Infrastructure preparation: Before making the transition to a sustainable fleet, you need to ensure your infrastructures are ready for electric and hybrid vehicles. This includes installing electric charging stations before renewing your fleet.
- Choose the best vehicles: Once your needs are clear, explore the options available at Guerin’s website and choose the models that best suit your needs.
- Monitor and optimise: After your transition, it’s important to monitor performance and track cost savings. Use telematics tools to keep an eye on vehicles usage and efficiency across your fleet.
