Challenges and solutions for the electrification of vehicle fleets in companies

Desafíos y soluciones para la electrificación de flotas de vehículos en empresas

The transition to electric vehicle fleets is a key strategy for companies committed to sustainability and energy efficiency. However, this change poses a series of challenges that require specific solutions.

At AECA Group
, we offer energy solutions adapted to the needs of companies, one of our featured services being
electric vehicle charging. A continuación, veremos los principales retos de la electrificación de flotas de vehículos y cómo superarlos con nuestras soluciones.

Challenges of electrification of vehicle fleets

  1. High initial cost. The initial investment in electric vehicles is usually higher than that of traditional vehicles. However, long-term benefits, such as savings in operating and maintenance costs, may offset this initial investment.
  2. Charging infrastructure. One of the biggest challenges is installing the proper charging infrastructure. Companies should analyze their specific needs, such as the size of their vehicle fleet and frequency of use. In this way, they will be able to guarantee that the infrastructure is prepared for the day to day.
  3. Charging time and battery autonomy. Managing the charging time and range of electric vehicles is crucial. Businesses must ensure their vehicles are charged and ready for daily operations without interruption, which may require advanced technological solutions.
  4. Technological adaptation and training. The transition to electric vehicles requires that both drivers and technical personnel receive specialized training to operate and maintain the new technology efficiently.

Challenges and solutions for the electrification of vehicle fleets in companies

Solutions to overcome challenges

  • Subsidies and tax benefits: There are incentives from public administrations that can help reduce the initial costs of acquiring electric vehicles and installing charging infrastructure. These incentives include direct subsidies, tax breaks, and reduced electric rates for fleet charging.
  • Strategic planning of charging infrastructure: In
    AECA Group, we have a team of experts in electric vehicle charging that is at your disposal. We offer you the best advice on choosing the most appropriate charger for your needs and existing infrastructure. If you are a company interested in installing a charging system, we help you find the optimal solution, adapted to the specific characteristics of your electric vehicle fleet. We will assist you in applying for available aid or subsidies.
  • Strategic charging infrastructure planning: Companies should conduct a detailed analysis to determine the best locations for charging stations that maximize efficiency and minimize disruption. This may include installing fast chargers in strategic locations and planning to scale the infrastructure as the fleet grows.
  • Loading time optimization: Use fleet management software that can schedule and monitor charging times to ensure all vehicles are charged and ready as needed. Integrating smart charging technologies can also help manage energy demand and reduce operating costs.
  • Employee Training and Engagement: Implementing training programs for drivers and maintenance personnel is crucial to ensuring a smooth transition. These programs should focus on the particulars of EV operation and maintenance, as well as efficient driving practices.
  • Collaboration with EV manufacturers and Energy suppliers
    : Working closely with vehicle manufacturers and energy suppliers can provide access to the latest technology and expert advice on implementing and managing electric fleets.

 

Challenges and solutions for the electrification of vehicle fleets in companies

Tax benefits and subsidies for energy efficiency projects in the industrial sector


Growing concerns about climate change and sustainability have put the industrial sector in Spain under pressure to reduce its energy consumption and carbon footprint. Fortunately, a number of tax incentives and subsidy programmes are available to facilitate the adoption of more efficient and sustainable technologies.

In this article, we will take a look at the main grants available to companies investing in energy efficiency projects in the industrial sector.

 

Fiscal incentives

1. Corporate Income Tax Deductions

Companies that invest in energy improvements can benefit from significant tax deductions in corporate income tax. Investments that favour energy efficiency, such as the implementation of renewable energy systems, the optimisation of production processes or the modernisation of machinery, can receive deductions of up to 30% of the investment made. This measure is particularly attractive for industries that require large amounts of energy in their processes.

2. Accelerated depreciation

Another key fiscal tool is the accelerated depreciation of energy efficiency related assets. This mechanism allows companies to recover the cost of their investment in a shorter period, which improves their cash flow and reduces the tax impact in the first years after the implementation of the project. Companies can apply this benefit to assets such as efficient machinery, cogeneration systems or industrial solar panels.

3. IAE (Business Activity Tax) rebates

Some local administrations offer rebates in the Economic Activities Tax (IAE) for companies that demonstrate a significant reduction in their energy consumption thanks to the implementation of improvements in their facilities. These rebates can be 50% or more, depending on the locality and the energy impact of the project.

 

Grants and support programmes

1. Aid Programme for Energy Efficiency in the Industrial Sector

This programme, managed by the Institute for Energy Diversification and Saving (IDAE), offers subsidies for projects that promote the improvement of energy efficiency in industrial facilities. Eligible measures include the renovation of obsolete industrial equipment, the installation of energy management and control systems, and the implementation of efficiency systems in thermal processes. Grants can cover up to 30% of the total investment.

2. Next Generation EU Funds

Spain’s Recovery, Transformation and Resilience Plan, financed by Next Generation EU funds, includes a specific line for the energy transformation of the industrial sector. This programme aims to support large-scale projects that not only improve energy efficiency, but also drive the transition towards a greener and digitised industry. Grants can reach up to 40% of the investment in projects that integrate renewable energy, storage technologies and optimisation of resource use.

3. Regional programmes

At the regional level, there are numerous support programmes for energy efficiency in industry. Communities such as Catalonia, the Basque Country and Andalusia have specific aid for the modernisation of industrial infrastructures with a focus on energy sustainability. These aids, often co-financed by European funds such as the ERDF, facilitate the adoption of clean technologies such as biomass, geothermal and solar thermal energy in industrial plants.

How to apply for these grants

To access these aid and tax benefits, companies must comply with certain requirements, such as the presentation of energy efficiency certificates accrediting the improvements made. It is also important to be aware of the deadlines and specific procedures for each call, which are usually managed through regional or national bodies, such as the IDAE or the industry departments of the autonomous communities.

In addition, it is advisable to have the support of specialised consultants who can guide companies through the application process and ensure that all technical and legal requirements are met to maximise the economic benefit.

 

The result of a commitment to energy efficiency

Industries that are committed to energy efficiency not only manage to reduce their operating costs, but also contribute to a more sustainable and responsible production. The tax incentives and subsidies available facilitate decision-making in favour of modernisation and optimisation of energy resources, thus placing Spanish industries at the forefront of sustainability and global competitiveness.

In this context, AECA Group plays a key role by offering solutions for energy solutions customised for the industrial sector. From the consulting
