Clean Power for Transport: a project to accelerate the electrical conversion of fleets in Flanders.

in collaboration with Westlease and the Flemish Region, a leasing formula has been specially developed to facilitate the introduction of electric vehicles. On purchase, the electric vehicle is slightly more expensive than its thermal counterpart. In use, however, it is much more economical and above all more predictable: no more fuel, no filters, no oil changes, no expensive periodic maintenance, and taxes and insurance significantly reduced or nonexistent. This makes it an ideal product for leasing.

To convince the market, this project aims to increase testing in cities and industries for a cost identical to that of a real long-term contract (typically 48 to 72 months). The difference between the 'long-term' cost and the real costs of these short-term tests are therefore borne by this subsidy from the Region.

There is currently a fleet of vehicles available for demonstration. The offer includes all types and options available at Addax: closed vans, flatbed with or without hydraulic tipper, positive and negative temperature controlled vehicles. The tests currently taking place are mainly in the services of cities and towns, and local distribution services. Large industrial sites do also participate in the program.
