Is your fleet ready to take on the challenge of implementing a sustainable fleet?

Charging and refuelling infrastructure for alternative fuel vehicles poses a significant challenge; without it, your fleet's range and flexibility can't meet it's potential, making it difficult for your business to adopt alternatively fuelled vehicles.

For larger fleets, on-site depot charging infrastructure is the favoured route, but it requires a sufficient grid connection to meet the power output levels needed to deploy the necessary charging infrastructure and accommodate the number of vehicles required. Depending on the area's grid capacity and power supply, a grid upgrade may be necessary, and these costs can vary drastically.

Investing in on-site infrastructure and possible grid upgrades if needed is a significant financial undertaking, but it's a necessary one for larger fleets in order to transition to a sustainable fleet.

Infrastructure management is fundamental to operating alternative fuel fleets as charger availability is as important as fleet availability.

With hydrogen vehicles, mobile fuel delivery can support initial trials through on-site fuelling capabilities on a smaller scale.

If you own your business fleet with increasing reliability issues or run your own vehicle workshops, the cost to keep your fleet on the road will continue to rise.

Transitioning to maintaining and repairing a new sustainable fleet entails much more than simply onboarding the new alternative fuel vehicles into your operations – for the future need you must challenge all the things you thought you knew about the maintenance and repair of your vehicles, especially if your current fleet operating model includes in-house workshops.

To future-proof your fleet, you must examine your traditional fleet operating model and ask yourself if it's still relevant. Alternative fuel vehicles require different maintenance and repair procedures compared to traditional diesel vehicles. Manufacturers now recommend that only approved workshops with fully trained technicians using genuine parts carry out all maintenance and repairs. These recommendations are based on the investment needed in specialist training, equipment, employee health and safety compliance, and extended warranty periods offered by the vehicle manufacturers.
