This document is designed to help fleets understand the suitability of different low-emission technologies and fuels for their operation.

The guide includes:

• Why choose a low-emission van? Reasons why fleets should consider low-emission vans, including Clean Air Zones, the DfT Road to Zero, increased corporate social responsibility, changes to vehicle testing and taxation, increased vehicle availability, and the reduced cost of alternatively fuelled vehicles.
• Factors to consider: The importance of considering range, payload, load volume, upfront cost, running costs, whole-life cost, and emissions when choosing a van.
• Grants and incentives.
• Technology pages with case studies for the following: Battery electric vans, plug-in hybrid and extended-range electric vehicles, charging infrastructure, liquefied petroleum gas and BioLPG, compressed natural gas and biomethane, high-blend biodiesel 20, and hydrogen fuel cell and dual fuel.
• Van fleet management best practice.
• Signposting to further tools and resources.
