News; Big Electric Order

If like me you are a technology nerd you’ll be happy to see today’s news that DFDS have ordered 100 electric Volvos. It’ll be great to finally have a good number of them out in the wild answering questions about them, their suitability etc and answer the question of what the future holds. Will it be hydrogen or electric, or a mix. I think it’ll be a mix at first but one will come out on top eventually. I hear all the complaints about range, purchase cost, weight etc but the more that go on the road the more these will improve. We are at the very start of this, technology is moving incredibly fast and problems being solved all the time. Looking forward to first drive in one.

The Growth of Women in the Fleet Industry

Hi there! I'm Elle, a guest blogger for Luke. I'll be writing about women in the fleet industry today - and if you fancy reading more from me, you can check out my blog .  The fleet and lorry industries have always had the tendency to be dominated by male drivers and male workers. However, these preconceived notions have been dramatically challenged during the last decade, with more and more women breaking into the fleet industry than ever before. There are now a growing number of female roles within this competitive environment and it seems as if this trend is only beginning. Let us take a look at some prime examples of successful women in the Fleet and trucking industries, and how they’re pioneering a growth of gender equality in a primarily male-dominated industry. Women Business owners are leading the way Whilst many years ago, most large Fleet companies were owned by men, there are more and more companies growing and expanding – that have women founders.
