There are a lot of things that we will miss when the fleet is mainly electric, but if we do something not If you’re going to miss it, then it’s company diesels. Modern diesels run quite smoothly and we know that there are some enthusiasts in the Volkswagen corner of TDIs with red letters, but besides them no one has ever been happy with a company diesel. That’s why we applaud Renault’s plan to convert existing company vans into EVs.
If you really want to be sustainable, then you have to recycle, that may by now be general knowledge. And although the CO2 emissions from battery production still count in this story, it will help that a completely new van does not have to be built. Renault is working with Phoenix Mobility to develop a kit to replace combustion engines in vans over five years old.
In 2023, the first kit for the Renault Master will be released in an edition of 1,000. This should prove that the idea works, after which the brand will expand to other models. You will have to miss the convenience of refueling a diesel with an electric motor, but certainly for companies with a fleet that returns to headquarters after each delivery, it could be a nice way to make it more sustainable.
