Samsara’s State of Connected Operations Report
shows leaders are prioritising sustainability, as the UK economy
looks towards a greener future
Samsara Inc. (NYSE: IOT), the pioneer of the Connected
Operations™ Cloud, today announced new research, revealing that
over half (55%) of physical operations leaders surveyed in the UK
and Ireland could have a hybrid or electric fleet by 2025, rising
from 42% currently.
Samsara’s 2023 State of Connected Operations Report, which
surveyed 300 physical operations leaders in the UK and Ireland who
are running fleets of 150+ vehicles, reveals sustainability of
operations is a critical priority for more than half (53%) of these
leaders.
Half of those surveyed are in the process of purchasing or
leasing electric vehicles (EVs) for their fleets, while 45% are
training their drivers to reduce fuel usage and idling as a way to
combat the emissions they produce. In addition, two in five (41%)
fleets are already using clean or sustainable fuels, and of those,
45% are using hydrogen fuel cells and 68% battery electric
vehicles.
Growing social and investor demands for more sustainable
operations are also influencing leaders in their day-to-day
decisions to reduce carbon emissions, with the primary drivers
being to meet customer and partner expectations (45%) and investor
expectations (38%).
However, fleet operations face challenges when it comes to being
more sustainable, with around half (49%) of leaders saying a major
hurdle for electrifying their fleet is the lack of fast-charging
stations. Another obstacle for many (46%) is the cost of
electrifying their fleet.
Philip van der Wilt, SVP and General Manager EMEA at Samsara,
said: “With sustainability a clear priority for physical operations
leaders in the UK and Ireland, investing in ways to transform their
fleet has never been more important. Connected technologies can
play an important role in enabling operations leaders to create a
modern, sustainable fleet, providing data that can improve fuel
economy, create more efficient vehicle routing, and promote more
eco-friendly driver behaviour.”
