Fleet decarbonisation

Tracking fleet operations and assessing their impacts, such as energy consumption and environmental emissions, can be a complex task. Our experienced teams can support you with this process, through:

• Fleet data collection and analysis (data logging, telematics, fuel card data and driver surveys)
• Modelling and quantification of fleet fuel consumption, emissions, and costs
• Development of online emission calculators, software tools and websites
• Assistance with Scope 1, 2 & 3 emissions reporting

It can be a challenge for any fleet owner to monitor the range of external factors that influence their fleet operations and overall business. Our team of policy consultants, economists and engineers can help you navigate this evolving landscape through:

• Assessing current and future vehicle technology options, costs, and suppliers
• Identifying subsidies and grant opportunities for fleet replacement
• Mapping future policy and regulatory risk

Fleet replacement decisions need to holistically balance technical, operational and financial considerations and constraints. These factors make planning and choosing the optimal option for fleet replacement an extremely challenging task. Our experts can help you choose the best option through:

• Detailed fleet modelling and specifications
• Identifying the most cost-effective strategy (e.g., total cost of ownership analysis)
• Preparing business cases
• Supporting decisions on Vehicle-as-a-Service and Charging-as-a-Service (VaaS and CaaS)
• Optimising fleet routes, charging options and locations using our ChaRM tool
• Fleet optioneering
• Duty-cycle and operational implication studies
• Supporting decarbonisation of complex fleets with variable duty cycles such as utilities, emergency services, construction or mining

Depots can lack the space and electrical infrastructure needed to charge hard-working vehicles, and few consider the safety implications of hydrogen. Our power team works with electricity network operators to ensure electric fleets have access to charging, and our hydrogen team evaluates existing infrastructure and supply to recommend safe and effective fleet operations. Our services include:

• Feasibility analysis, layouts and locations for electric vehicle & hydrogen infrastructure
• Site power surveys
• Coordinating with electricity grid operators, chargepoint suppliers and the hydrogen supply chain
• Future energy strategy
• Planning and development of on-site renewables and energy storage

Translating fleet replacement decisions into actions can be challenging, as it involves multiple steps and requires the involvement of different stakeholders such as customers, drivers, suppliers, and public authorities. Our support during the implementation phase of the fleet decarbonisation process includes:

• Assisting in the application for grants and subsidies
• Supporting trials and demonstrations
• Providing supplier advisory and monitoring
• Coordinating with electricity and hydrogen providers
• Assisting with vehicle and chargepoint ownership model (lease or buy)
• Site and vehicle safety assessment and training
