Attaining environmental benefits and lower cost of ownership are driving more commercial fleets to electrify, according to a new study by UPS and GreenBiz. A lower total cost of ownership—factoring in both direct and indirect costs and savings over the life of the vehicle—is the second biggest driver, cited by 64% of respondents.

A modular approach not only reduces direct vehicle costs but also the amount spent on repairs and maintenance. This reduces the gap between the TCO (Total Cost of Ownership) of urban buses powered by diesel and those with electric drives. In this way, the TCO premium for emission-free driving becomes reasonable, Daimler said.
