On 4-5 March 2026 at Brussel’s Autoworld, EVision 2026 will bring together policymakers, industry leaders, utilities, and mobility innovators to examine the next phase of Europe’s e-mobility evolution. Through a series of high-level expert panels, the event will explore how electrification, digitalisation, and energy system integration can accelerate the continent’s transition to clean transport.

At the centre of this year’s agenda is a strategic question: how can corporate fleet electrification become a cornerstone of Europe’s decarbonisation and competitiveness strategy?

Electrifying Corporate Fleets: From Niche to Strategic Imperative

Despite rapid growth in electric passenger cars, only 6% of Europe’s corporate fleet vehicles are currently electrified. This gap represents a significant untapped opportunity.

At EVision 2026, Eurelectric and EY will present a joint study highlighting the transformative potential of fleet electrification across company cars, logistics vans, and heavy-duty trucks.

The report will demonstrate how electrifying fleets can:

  • Deliver substantial CO₂ reductions
  • Provide grid flexibility through smart charging and vehicle-to-grid integration
  • Strengthen Europe’s industrial competitiveness
  • Accelerate demand certainty for charging infrastructure deployment

Fleet vehicles, often replaced on shorter cycles and managed centrally, are uniquely positioned to scale electrification faster than private cars. Their predictable usage patterns also make them ideal assets for grid optimisation and flexible demand strategies.

While the opportunity is clear, scaling electrification across fleet segments requires coordinated action. The upcoming Eurelectric–EY study will identify key structural obstacles, including:

  • Insufficient charging infrastructure for light and heavy-duty vehicles
  • Grid connection bottlenecks
  • Policy fragmentation across Member States
  • Regulatory uncertainty affecting investment decisions
  • Total cost of ownership disparities in specific segments

The roadmap presented at EVision 2026 will outline actionable solutions, ranging from regulatory harmonisation to digital grid deployment, financing frameworks, and targeted industrial policies.

Participants

EVision 2026 convenes a distinguished group of speakers from across Europe’s mobility and energy ecosystem, including representatives from European institutions, utilities, automotive manufacturers, logistics operators, charging infrastructure providers, and consulting firms.

Confirmed participants include Members of the European Parliament, senior officials from the European Commission’s DG MOVE, DG CLIMA and DG ENER, as well as executives from leading organisations such as Fortum, EDF, EON, Enedis, Mercedes-Benz Trucks, Volvo Group, Amazon, DHL, Geopost, Fastned, Spirii and EY. Check the full program and speakers list here.

The programme also features renowned industry analysts and strategic thinkers who will provide broader perspectives on electrification trends, behavioural change, and industrial transformation.

Fleet Electrification as an Industrial Strategy Lever

EVision 2026 positions fleet electrification not merely as an environmental necessity, but as a core industrial strategy lever for Europe.

The electrification of logistics, last-mile delivery, and corporate mobility has implications far beyond emissions. It affects supply chains, battery value chains, grid resilience, digital infrastructure, and Europe’s global competitiveness in zero-emission transport technologies.

With coordinated action between policymakers, utilities, manufacturers, fleet operators, and digital innovators, fleet electrification could become one of the most effective instruments for accelerating Europe’s clean mobility transition.
