Electrifying Road Freight

Fleet directors, facilities directors, energy directors.. how strong is your business case for fleet electrification?

Whether you are considering switching to electric vehicles in your next purchase, are already learning with some electric vehicles in your fleet, or have already transitioned your entire fleet to electric, our knowledge of electric vehicles, charging infrastructure, power equipment, electricity distribution network connections, energy supplier contracts, and freight and logistics fleet operations will help ensure you achieve the strongest business case, minimum investments, maximum utilisation, fastest payback, efficient organisation, and minimum CO2 emissions.

Electrifying your fleet

Do you understand all your vehicle energy requirements, costs, and opportunities? Have you cross-optimised your vehicle energy and building energy needs? Does distributed storage, distributed generation, or distribution network reinforcement make sense for you?

Energy solutions

Our research covers:

• Understanding current and future electric Heavy Goods Vehicle models from all major commercial vehicle OEMs

• Charging infrastructure and power equipment for fleet operators’ depots

• Opportunities and limitations using electric HGVs in fleet operations

• Electricity distribution network connections and energy supplier contracts

• Broad freight and logistics fleet operations needs

• Investment strategies to minimise CAPEX

• Use of electric HGVs as a connected, dynamic energy storage and integrated site energy systems

• Fleet energy consumption analysis and management optimisation

• Operation strategies to minimise OPEX

We are developing digital modelling tools for the energy equipment assets options at fleet operators’ depots, including the electricity distribution network connection. These tools will provide fleet operators with analysis and guidance for a strong business case to make the most informed investment decisions in your transition to electric.

Maximising utilisation

We are improving live data sharing so that depots and destinations with charging infrastructure can make access available to other fleet operators, improving infrastructure utilisation.
