Ekologicky „přátelská“ vozidla jako výzva pro management podniku

The diploma thesis evaluates the potential of replacing the company's fleet of cars with internal combustion engines with electric vehicles. The topic of the thesis responds to the societal pressure of recent years regarding climate protection and the reduction of global warming not only by changing passenger transport from combustion engine cars to electric vehicles. This change is also affecting the corporate environment and the decisions of fleet managers who are faced with the question of whether the replacement of the corporate fleet of cars will contribute to the reduction of CO2 emissions and whether this change is beneficial in terms of acquisition and operating costs. The aim of the thesis is to evaluate the potential of replacing the company fleet of passenger cars with combustion engines with electric vehicles, especially in terms of the environmental impact of the fleet in the form of CO2 emissions and in terms of costs for the selected company. Suitable EVs were selected for the existing fleet of the selected company based on defined criteria and then the total CO2 emissions produced by both the existing fleet of combustion engine cars and EVs were compared using paired t-tests. The same procedure was followed for acquisition and running costs. In the case of the selected company, it might be appropriate to replace the company fleet with EVs in terms of CO2 emissions, but no clear positive effect can be expected in the case of acquisition and running costs.
