The Advanced Clean Transportation (ACT) Expo
Ricardo is attending The Advanced Clean Transportation (ACT) Expo, North America’s largest event dedicated to commercial transportation and clean fleets. Our participation exemplifies our commitment to supporting the commercial transportation sector in their journey to achieve zero-emission fleets, reduce environmental footprints, and meet targets while maintaining high-quality performance.
Ricardo has a deep understanding of the complex and dynamic challenges facing the commercial transport sector. We are uniquely positioned to offer comprehensive support to global OEMs and suppliers, providing policy and regulatory advice, including insights into the environmental impacts of products and the supply chain. Combined with our unrivaled technical expertise in the design, testing, and niche manufacturing of zero-emission fleet solutions, we can support you to deliver results that matter.
From innovation to implementation: making the right clean technology choices for your fleet at ACT Expo 2025.
Through conversations with clients and industry stakeholders, we have identified several key topics that are driving discussions in accelerating the transition to zero-emission fleets. Find out what these topics are here>
Making the right clean technology choices for your fleet
Electrification
Ricardo can bring sustainable, electrified mobility solutions to your fleet, focusing on de-risking electric vehicle (EV) development, whilst reducing time, cost and navigating stringent policies. We provide solutions across power electronics, software and control, eMachines, eDrives and batteries to accelerate your EV fleet adoption.
Vehicle integration
Ricardo designs and develops complete systems integration programmes. Our experts manage the complexities and deliver solutions to facilitate seamless integration of components and systems for clients across the commercial vehicle sector.
Fuel cell
Ricardo leverages its expertise, toolchain, and experience in fuel cell technology and systems integration to analyze customer requirements. We develop and deliver solutions that extend the estimated range and enhance the versatility and maneuverability of your fleet.
Advanced sustainable fuels
Ricardo can support you to navigate changing legislations, identify and implement sustainable fuel solutions including hydrogen, biofuels, and synthetic fuels to reduce emissions across a wide range of transport applications.
Fleet decarbonisation
Ricardo can analyze your fleet’s impacts, provide strategic advice on transitioning your fleet, develop optimal replacement strategies and conduct charging and fueling infrastructure analysis and planning.
Alumotor: our sustainable, cost cutting electric machine
Ricardo’s Alumotor is an innovative electric motor designed to reduce cost, enhance sustainability and supply chain security by eliminating copper usage and/or rare-earth magnets. Utilising synchronous reluctance architecture with aluminum windings, the motor offers high efficiency while minimising environmental impact. Advanced oil cooling techniques further improve performance, making it a cost-effective and durable solution for light commercial vehicles, off-highway equipment and other applications.
Scalable to many power levels and tested at a rated power of 120 kW and peak power of 195 kW, the Alumotor delivers robust performance while maintaining a lightweight design. Its flexibility and ability to apply the unique Aluminum windings to many motor types, ensures an optimal balance between cost and performance. By prioritising sustainable materials and innovative engineering, Ricardo has developed an environmentally friendly e-motor that meets the evolving demands of electrified mobility.
Vehicle supervisor control software
Ricardo’s supervisor control software essentially acts as the central intelligence system (the brain) in hybrid and electric vehicles (HEV / BEV), seamlessly integrating and optimising all vehicle systems which is crucial to maximise efficiency, performance and safety
Ricardo’s supervisor control software provides a flexible, scalable and compliant solution to develop high performance, safe and efficient electric and hybrid vehicles while significantly reducing development time and costs.

Understanding your sustainability impacts
Sustainability strategy and reporting are crucial for shaping the future of business operations and achieving zero-emission fleets. Ricardo will help you understand your current and future environmental impacts across the supply chain, meet the demands of regulators, investors, and customers, and grasp how these drivers are shaping the future of transportation and logistics operations.
The CSRD will affect many North American organizations with activities in the EU. The CSRD requires businesses to report on a broad range of ESG
matters, against 12 mandated European Sustainability Reporting
Standards (ESRS) that have been drafted by the European Financial
Reporting Advisory Group (EFRAG)
Get a deeper understanding of the environmental and social impacts of your current and in-development fleet. LCA’s can provide robust data to back up green claims.
We conduct market assessments, map resources, advise on sustainable procurement options, facilitate supply chain engagement and offer sustainable packaging advice.
We help you to understand your direct operational emissions and value chain (Scope 3) emissions associated with existing and developmental products.
We advise policy makers and legislators around the world and use these insights to help organizations understand and increase adaptability to legislative challenges such as the Sustainable Batteries Regulation and Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM)
