Atos commits to all-electric company car fleet by 2024
Paris, March 31, 2021 – Atos today announced that it will switch all of its nearly 5,500 company cars to electric models by the end of 2024. With this move, Atos aims to reduce the carbon emissions of its global fleet by 50% within 3 years, in line with its ambition to reach ‘net zero’ by 2028. To enable this Atos will install new multi-vehicle charging stations across its sites, thereby expanding the Group’s network from 100 stations to more than 500 by 2024. In addition, Atos will offer employees using an electric company car the opportunity to install a charging station at home.
The electric vehicle (EV) market is still an emerging one but it is developing fast. As governments around the world are implementing policies to accelerate the EV revolution, global sales of electric vehicles reached an all-time high in 20201 amidst a decline in passenger car sales.
As the leader in secure and decarbonized digital, Atos is committed to leading the way for a transition to zero emissions in transport. To maintain its ability to offer and operate a wide variety of vehicles for its employees, the Group will rely on a network of automotive manufacturers and suppliers for its electric vehicles. In particular, Atos will work together with Renault and Stellantis, which have both implemented ambitious plans to pave the way towards smart and sustainable mobility. All suppliers guarantee that batteries will be recycled to the highest of standards and, when applicable, repurposed.
