Muverang, a key player in electric mobility in the region offers guidance to further drive the electrification of the logistics sector, due to the need for efficiency, profitability and sustainability.
For the company, choosing the right electric vehicles for fleets can make all the difference in the success of a company.
In this regard, Muverang highlights aspects such as efficiency to optimize routes, delivery times and reduce operating costs.
It also evaluates profitability to reduce fuel and maintenance costs, improving the Total Cost of Ownership (TCO).

Selection Criteria for Electric Vehicles in Logistics
For Muverang, one of the aspects to consider is autonomy. It is key for operators to define the necessary autonomy according to their specific routes and operations.
“It is essential to carefully calculate this factor to ensure that the vehicles can meet the demands of your business. For example, if your fleet mainly performs short-haul urban deliveries, a more limited autonomy may be sufficient,” Muverang’s guide points out.
Cargo capacity is another key factor. Fleet operators should evaluate the load capacity required for their logistics operations.
“It is important to select vehicles with the right capacity to transport your cargo efficiently and safely. Consider factors such as the weight and volume of the products they regularly transport,” says Muverang.
In that sense, the freight infrastructure must strengthen the ecosystem of decarbonization of fleets. It is vital for operators to assess the availability and accessibility of freight infrastructure in the areas where they will operate their fleet.
It is critical to have conveniently located charging points to ensure power availability when needed.
