The Future of Fleet is Electric
#ElectrifyFleet
Introducing Electrify Fleet – A Merchants Fleet initiative to educate, deploy, and infuse the fleet industry with electric vehicles.
We are accelerating the electric vehicle movement in fleet. Stay up to date on the latest releases, updates, and resources from Merchants experts to help you decide when the time is right to electrify your own fleet.
Merchants Fleet is Leading the “Charge”
We are fast approaching a tipping point in the Fleet industry. As automakers worldwide plan to spend $185 billion on developing new electric vehicles (EVs) and advancements in battery technology continue to drive prices down, EVs are finally becoming a viable and sustainable alternative to their gas-powered counterparts. At the same time, corporations are seeking ways to reduce their carbon footprint and do their part to reduce the impact of transportation on our environment.
As the nation’s fastest-growing fleet management company, Merchants Fleet is at the forefront of the electric vehicle movement and is committed to helping you make the electrification transformation. We know that as fleet managers, there are a lot of questions you need answered, from determining which vehicles to electrify, to the models available in the market, to how to deploy infrastructure to support your operations. It’s not just about the vehicles, but the whole ecosystem to support them.
That’s why I’m excited to introduce Electrify Fleet – a strategic initiative led by Merchants Fleet to educate and deploy new electric vehicles in the fleet industry. This website is just the beginning of doing our part to both build a more sustainable future and help you become more informed and ready for the electrification journey. We look forward to being your trusted partner.
