Electrification Is Not Optional.

The regulatory, financial, and competitive landscape has permanently shifted. The question is not if you electrify, but how fast.

ZEV Mandate

It's the law.
  • 70% of new vans must be ZEV by 2030
  • 100% of new HGVs under 26t by 2035
  • £15,000 penalty per non-compliant vehicle
  • Manufacturers will stop making diesel
💰

Clean Air Zones

Pay or comply.
  • London ULEZ: £100/day for non-compliant HGVs
  • Birmingham, Bristol, Bath, Bradford live
  • More cities adopting daily charges
  • Non-compliant fleets face route restrictions

Fuel & Maintenance

The numbers don't lie.
  • Electricity: 6-8p/mile vs diesel: 30-50p/mile
  • 80% fewer moving parts = lower maintenance
  • No oil changes, no exhaust systems
  • Predictable costs vs volatile fuel prices
🌎

Carbon & ESG

Your customers demand it.
  • Scope 3 reporting required by major clients
  • Bid-blocked without green supply chain
  • Carbon credits from fleet electrification
  • Sustainability is a competitive advantage

The UK's Largest Ever Fleet Charging Subsidy.

The Government's £170M Depot Charging Scheme funds up to 70% of EV charging infrastructure costs at commercial fleet depots. You pay 30%. The taxpayer pays the rest.
