Your EV fleet transition starts with a strategy backed by data

Insights

To electrify your commercial fleet seamlessly, you’ll need to start with an EV transition strategy. A well thought out electrification plan, rooted in data and expertise, is key for your fleet’s success – here’s why.

 

Design your fleet’s electrification to minimise disruption and cost

A fleet electrification strategy minimises operational disruption and prevents unnecessary expenses by analysing your fleet data to ensure you electrify most suitable routes first. We use your desired end state to frame the electrification strategy to ensure it meets both short term and long-term goals. This ensures a smooth transition to electric vehicles, preventing wasted investments and minimising resource.

 

Understand the costs and infrastructure required for your EV transition to improve planning and secure budget

Our comprehensive total cost of ownership projections provide insight into the upfront and ongoing costs of operating your electric fleet, as well as the potential for revenue generation – including a comparison to your traditional fossil-fuel fleet. This is paired with a hands-on assessment of your estate to understand what electrical infrastructure and upgrades will be required to support electrification. This knowledge is pivotal to plan investments effectively and secure sufficient funds to achieve your electrification goals.

 

Maximise your revenue potential and minimise expenditure by identifying opportunities early on

By taking a holistic approach, our fleet electrification strategy identifies the most suitable revenue opportunities for your fleet that won’t risk disrupting your to-to-day operations – from participating in flexibility markets to providing charging services with unutilised assets. We also consider the value of adopting low carbon technologies, like solar PV and battery storage, to optimise your fleet, reduce long-term costs and improve sustainability. This means you can start generating value from your new EV assets early on, contributing to increased profitability.

 

At Hitachi ZeroCarbon, we provide commercial fleets with a complete guide to enable a right first-time transition to electric vehicles. Our data driven approach ensures that regardless of the size or complexity of your fleet, you will gain the knowledge and confidence to accelerate your transition to zero carbon.
