Fleete and Evenergi enter partnership to accelerate electric fleet adoption
Fleete and Evenergi announced that they have entered a partnership to support the accelerated adoption of electric commercial fleets.
Fleete finances, builds, owns, and operates high-power, large-scale charging infrastructure for commercial fleets with no up-front costs. Its technology-driven, flexible service puts the customer at the centre, utilising the latest charging infrastructure that can scale as their EV fleet grows.
Evenergi is a global software and advisory business that uses its software BetterFleet to optimise the transition of fleets to zero emissions alternatives. The BetterFleet platform, a proprietary tool, creates a digital twin of a region and enables optimization of infrastructure for single or multiple local fleets. Currently the business services over 150 bus, municipal, logistics and utility fleets across Asia Pacific, Northern American and European markets.
This new partnership will see Fleete and Evenergi working together with clients to support businesses in every step of their electrification journey – with Evenergi providing initial feasibility studies, through to Fleete providing financing, and operating turn-key electric fleet projects.
Dan Bentham, CEO at Fleete, said: “We are excited to announce this partnership with Evenergi, to convert fleet electrification plans to action. We are seeing a lot of interest and commitments to convert to electric fleet, but also a lot of uncertainty of how to approach the transition. This partnership allows us to support even more fleet operators on this journey and commit to their low carbon future, today.”
Dan Hilson, CEO at Evenergi, said: “We have provided software and services to hundreds of fleets globally. Our clients are often looking for a financing and infrastructure partner who understands the space. We welcome this partnership with Fleete, who bring a deep understanding of the sector and significant financial fire-power to the industry. We are proud that Fleete has chosen to partner with Evenergi to help deliver on its vision to accelerate the electrification of transport, by de-risking and reducing the steep up-front capital costs of projects.”
In Europe alone commercial fleets account for two per cent of road transport but over 25 per cent of road transport associated emissions. Converting to an electric fleet helps reduce these emissions and address associated air pollution impacts. However, significant investment in charging infrastructure is required to support this transition.
