How to transition to electric fleet vehicles using Fleet Management Software

The recent expansion of London’s ULEZ zone, meaning non-compliant cars or vans will face £12.50 daily charge to drive into the zone, has sparked debate across fleets in the UK.

According to recent research, rising operations costs are one of the biggest worries for fleets, and while many are considering changing to alternative fuels, the majority are not ready to make the switch – or simply don’t know where to begin.

Whether they’re being welcomed with open arms or they might take some getting used to, clean air zones are going to be a part of major UK cities, so the sooner fleet managers get educated on their current fleet status and how best to transition, the better and more prepared they’ll be to make the switch in a sustainable and stress-free way.

Although this process may seem daunting at first, electric vehicle management software can simplify the transition process in many different ways. Additionally, this software provides you with a holistic view of a fleet’s transition to electric vehicles by providing actionable data and detailed insights into operational costs and next steps.

To ensure a successful transition to electric vehicles, businesses should take a data-driven approach. The good news is that the information sits within telematics platforms and with the right vehicle type segmentation and an understanding of the key data points to focus on, fleet operators can build a data driven transition plan pretty easily.

Key considerations to be taken into account include fleet vehicle type, separated by weight and size, as well as various data points collected by telematics software – including but not limited to duty cycles, dwell time and trip locations. Once all of the above has been collated and reviewed, practical implications such as cost of ownership, fuel consumption and charging infrastructure come into play, along with government schemes and incentives and driver training to onboard teams onto the new fleet.

While it sounds like a lot, the EV Readiness Tool has been developed by Teletrac Navman, to simplify the process and automate the planning of an electric fleet transition. By using current fleet information to analyse all the key factors, the tool uses artificial intelligence to generate an actionable list of recommendations, suggesting where changes to the fleet will have the greatest impact on business. The software also supports hybrid fleet models, allowing for greater scalability as traditional ICE vehicles are replaced with new EVs.

If you’re ready to learn more about how the EV Readiness Tool can help your fleet transition to an electric vehicle fleet, contact our team today who are ready to talk you through how it all works.

How to reduce you carbon footprint using Fleet Management Software

More consumers and businesses than ever are expecting brands and suppliers to address climate change in a meaningful way. One method fleet operators are using to reduce their carbon footprint is through software that uses smart algorithms to analyse trip data and identify which vehicles in their fleet are suitable for the transition to EV – even showing the total cost of ownership comparisons to help make the business case.

In fact, 30% of fleet operators are planning to accelerate their transition to electric fleets over the next year according to our recent TS23 Global Telematics Survey.

While this is an excellent solution for many companies, a comprehensive transition can also take time to complete, so there are many steps that can be taken sooner to reduce a carbon footprint, particularly with the help of fleet management software. These proactive measures are not only good for the environment, but also for a company’s bottom line.

  1. More Efficient Travel

Poor route planning results in lost productivity, increased fuel spend and underutilised assets. In terms of carbon footprint, the extra travel results in greater emissions on longer routes and the potential for increased idling as employees wait for additional assignments.

With better vehicle tracking systems and real-time route planning, dispatch teams with large fleets can assign jobs more effectively, eliminating downtime between jobs, as well re-route quickly and efficiently if traffic is becoming a problem.

  1. Decreasing Idling

An idling vehicle is an inefficient vehicle. Heavy-duty diesel engines such as those in long-haul trucks put off a significant number of pollutants while idling. In addition to increased emissions, idling also wastes fuel.

With fleet management software, fleet managers can track engine idle time more efficiently. This data can also be used to create and enforce anti-idle policies within a fleet, leading to an overall reduction in fleet vehicle emissions.

  1. Better Vehicle Performance

Due to their heavy daily use, poorly maintained fleet vehicles are more likely to experience mechanical issues that can result in increased emissions, such as fuel injection problems, sensor issues or faulty exhaust systems.

With fleet management software and pre-trip checklists, your team can spot issues with a fleet vehicle early, preventing faulty vehicles from being in service for prolonged periods.

Fleet management software can have a positive impact on reducing a company’s carbon footprint. By putting actionable data at decision makers’ fingertips, businesses can potentially reduce your fleet’s impact on climate change and increase your profit margins.

No obligation trial allows fleets to experience real-time results

Lightfoot, leading provider of in-cab driver engagement and rewards technology, is offering commercial fleets of over 50 vehicles the opportunity to trial its game-changing fleet management software with no cost and no commitment.

The unique Lightfoot trial is delivered over a period of several weeks, with drivers first using the Lightfoot devices in blind mode – where they’re simply collecting data on how the vehicles are driven without any driver interaction – the benchmark. For the second half of the trial, the in-cab devices are switched to live mode, which is when they come to life and start providing real-time feedback and alerts scoring drivers and rewarding them based on their performance.

The improvements made during the live phase of the trial can be seen in the comprehensive ROI report provided at the end, with reductions in fuel expenditure, vehicle wear and tear, carbon emissions, and accident rates among the projected savings.
