Abstract Corporate vehicle fleet owners face new challenges through the introduction of electric vehicles to the automotive market. A fundamental understanding of the fleet tasks and a life cycle oriented evaluation are a prerequisite for the successful integration of alternatively powered vehicle concepts into corporate fleets. In order to enable fleet managers to respond to the arising challenges, a workshop based decision methodology for integrating electric vehicles into corporate fleets has been developed. Throughout the workshop, relevant aspects in life cycle oriented fleet planning are introduced to the participants, which help them assessing the current usage of the fleet and developing alternatives. A simulation based decision support system is used for evaluating the viability of alternative fleet configurations and deriving recommendations. The developed methodology can be applied to all kinds of fleet sizes. However, it was especially developed for small and medium sized companies. The methodology is presented within a case study for the fleet of a local energy supplier.
