With less than a decade to go until sales of new petrol and diesel vehicles are banned throughout the UK, now is a critical time for fleet operators working towards their net zero goals to look ahead to their electric future.

However, preparing to transition a fleet to EVs comes with plenty of stumbling blocks, and many businesses are currently unsure of their readiness to make the switch. The challenges are multi-layered, with all areas of fleet operations impacted by the adoption of electric vehicles, from finance and procurement to maintenance and productivity.

There is also the issue of misinformation, with many myths and knowledge gaps surrounding the topic of fleet electrification. Lightfoot set out to discover how complex an issue the transition to EVs is for the fleet industry, surveying fleet operators from a range of fields to identify the key challenges facing UK fleets today.

Pioneering green tech company Lightfoot have released a new video focusing on their partnership with Tesco, which highlights how the game-changing in-cab driver coaching technology and accompanying driver rewards app have revolutionised the grocery delivery fleet’s operations. 

Speaking on the impact that Lightfoot has had on the Tesco fleet, Mark Stravens, Head of Driver Operations & Fleet, commented:   

“What Lightfoot gives you the ability to do is something that I never thought we’d get the opportunity to do without employing loads and loads of driving instructors – which is to be able to coach every driver that you employ, every single day”. 

As a result, the fleet has experienced incredible benefits, including a 7.5% improvement in MPG, a 7346 –tonne annual reduction in carbon emissions, 33% fewer speeding incidents, and a 75% reduction in instances of harsh acceleration.

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.

Lightfoot launches new Live Overspeed Alerts feature

By:

Driver coaching and rewards platform provider Lightfoot has unveiled a new development for its fleet management package – the Live Overspeed Alerts feature.

Available to add on to the existing Lightfoot solution, this feature targets the problem of speeding within fleets, helping to prevent approximately 80% of incidents. It does this by alerting drivers whenever they travel over the speed limit through a series of audible and visual warnings via the Lightfoot dashboard device. This helps raise awareness in drivers of how fast they’re travelling whilst they’re on the road, giving them the ability to correct their driving in real-time and prevent the speeding event from occurring.

Speeding remains one of the most prevalent motoring offences in the UK, and accounts for around 13% of all accidents on Britain’s roads. For fleets, it brings with it the added disadvantages of increased wear and tear on the vehicles and the risk of damage to brand reputation if drivers are repeatedly caught travelling at illegal and unsafe speeds. It’s clear that more needs to be done to curb speeding incidents in commercial vehicles, and this latest development from Lightfoot is a great example of the tools that are available to help fleets create safer, more responsible drivers.

The case for decarbonising existing fleet vehicles

 960 640 Stuart O'Brien
By:

Lightfoot have launched their latest video titled ‘Doing Nothing Is Not An Option’, the video makes the case for actively decarbonising existing ICE vehicles within fleets whilst concurrently planning for the electric future.

Whilst the transition to EVs is the accepted long-term solution for the fleet industry, the reality is that the supply of electric vehicles is not currently available for an all-out adoption of EV fleets, and many fleets simply do not have the resources or infrastructure to go fully electric today.

Instead of making future plans to tackle decarbonisation solely through the eventual replacement of ICE vehicles with EVs, industry-leading green-tech provider Lightfoot argues that fleets should instead be looking to their existing fleet vehicles to reduce emissions, reduce fuel consumption, and take action now to protect the planet.
