Why smart fleets must accelerate their EV transitions now

Cut costs, increase productivity, help your business drivers and save the planet, all at the same time. The best fleets are embracing change today

As the UK pushes forward with its zero-emissions agenda, electric vehicles (EVs) are no longer an innovation reserved for early adopters, they’re now central to long-term fleet strategy.

For car and van fleets navigating rising costs, supply pressures and changing legislation; transitioning to EVs is no longer a question of if, but how quickly.

The conditions for change have never been more favourable. With attractive Benefit-in-Kind (BiK) rates, tax-free workplace charging and a major infrastructure rollout, the business case for EVs is stronger than ever.

Fleet priorities are evolving – but so are the challenges

According to recent market research, electrification now ranks third among the top strategic priorities for car fleets – just behind cost reduction and sourcing affordable insurance. Notably:

■ 57% of car fleets expect that 50% or more of their fleet will be electric before 2030.

■ 66% plan to install workplace charging infrastructure in the next 12 months.

■ 45% are still considering hybrid and PHEV options, even as BiK incentives increasingly favour full EVs.

■ 65% support a 2030 – or earlier – phase-out date for ICE vehicle sales.

The biggest barriers?

Admin and complexity

The #1 pain point for fleets is no longer vehicle availability or range anxiety – it’s the admin burden of transitioning to/operating EVs. This includes: charging reimbursements, fragmented payment systems and the

Lean, green, money-saving machine

logistics of managing both depot and home charging. All can be overwhelming for stretched fleet teams. Enter solutions like Allstar Chargepass: this platform integrates charging payments across public networks, workplace sites and home charging – capturing home-energy usage specifically for business mileage. It reduces the need for manual mileage logs or complex payroll adjustments, easing the transition for both drivers and administrators.

Planning is key: especially for depot and workplace charging Fleet-management technology and the UK’s charging infrastructure are moving in the right direction. The UK’s EV ecosystem is evolving rapidly –delivering tangible benefits for fleet operators and strengthening the case for transition.

■ Public charging: As of June 30, 2025, the UK has 82,369 public EV charging devices, marking a 30% year-on-year increase from June 2024. Of these, 16,698 chargers are rated at 50kW or above, accounting for approximately 20% of the national network. Notably, ultra-rapid chargers (150kW+) have experienced significant growth, with a 59% year-on-year rise to 8619 units. These highspeed devices are increasingly concentrated at purpose-built hubs designed to support the needs of commercial and fleet users.

“The number-one pain point for fleets is no longer vehicle availability or range anxiety; it’s the admin burden of transitioning to, and operating, EVs”

WHY NOW?

■ Vehicle models: More than 50 new electric car and van models were launched in 2024 alone –many offering real-world ranges over 250 miles. This growing diversity of vehicle options makes it easier than ever for fleets to find models that match their specific operational requirements.

In a major step forward, Nissan has announced that from 2026, selected models will include affordable, on-board bi-directional charging as standard. This Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G) capability allows EVs to supply power back to homes or even the national grid – potentially creating new revenue streams for fleet operators and playing a pivotal role in building a more sustainable, versatile and robust energy ecosystem.

The UK will be the first market to benefit, with a wider European rollout to follow.

■ Digital tools: Advanced telematics and fleet management platforms, such as Geotab, Webfleet, Masternaut and Tranzaura, are accelerating EV adoption through real-time vehicle tracking, driverbehaviour analytics and predictive maintenance. Tranzaura stands out for its integration of multiple data streams into one dashboard. Bolstered by AI it further aids fleet performance and decision-making.

Another significant development supporting fleet electrification is the rapid expansion of EV charging superhubs across the UK. These large-scale facilities – often strategically located near major roads and logistics routes – are designed to accommodate multiple vehicles simultaneously, with ultra-rapid chargers delivering power at 150kW or more. This not only drastically reduces charging times, but also improves overall network resilience and availability.

Operators such as Gridserve, MFG EV Power and Ionity are leading the charge, investing in sites that combine high-capacity hardware with enhanced driver amenities.

Importantly, superhubs are now integrating more reliable hardware, dynamic load balancing and open-access payment systems, to deliver a smoother, faster and more dependable vehicle-charging experience for business drivers.

■ Depot charging: Behind the scenes, depot charging is becoming smarter. Modern systems incorporate energy management features and dynamic load balancing, ensuring that fleets charge efficiently without overloading local grids.

This is particularly vital for fleets scaling up operations or co-locating with other energyintensive facilities.

“Fleet management platforms are accelerating EV adoption through real-time vehicle tracking and driver-behaviour analystics”

The range of EVs in the UK is growing by the week

Together, these infrastructure and tech advancements are not only solving many of the pain points historically associated with EVs – they’re actively enabling faster, smarter and more scalable fleet transitions.

Planning for workplace and depot charging can be an extensive process – ranging from site audits and journey data analysis; to grid access and DNO engagement. Fleets often underestimate the timeline, which for more complex operations can range from 12 to 18 months.

Early planning is critical for workplace and depot charging. Government incentives and support (like the LEVI and Workplace Charging Scheme) are still available, but the more important step is to audit your sites now. Accessing sufficient power may require costly upgrades, if substations are already at capacity, or your neighbours act first. By assessing their energy needs early, fleets can avoid significant infrastructure costs.

Engaging with DNOs (Distribution Network Operators) early can also unlock lower-cost grid connections.

The case for transition is stronger than ever

Beyond cost and compliance, the sustainability and operational benefits of EVs are undeniable. Fleets must now ask: Should they share their EV charge points?

Fleet depots across the UK are installing thousands of EV chargers – but they’re often locked behind gates, used by just one operator. Companies like Evata are stepping in to connect businesses that need charging infrastructure but operate from older premises with limited grid capacity. Evata’s shared-access model helps to unlock the value of underutilised assets and reduce the infrastructure burden for everyone.

This kind of collaboration could become critical as demand outpaces grid upgrades in many regions.

The time to lead is now

We believe 2025 marks a tipping point for the fleet industry. Government policy, technology and commercial momentum are aligning. Fleets that act now can lead the transition to zero-emission mobility.

At FleetWise, we urge fleet operators to:

• Review and update their EV policies

• Begin their infrastructure planning, today

• Leverage technology to reduce admin burdens

• Start to familiarise themselves with new products

• Engage drivers with training and communications

The road ahead is electric, and procrastination is the greatest enemy of transitioning success.

The best charging networks offer app-based tools to manage the process

Several EV makers include a free home charger in the cost of the car

5 Vehicle-use Analysis

Essential considerations when installing workplace-charging infrastructure THE BIG

FleetWise outlines five essential steps to simplify key elements when embracing EV-charging. Based on expert opinion and research, this feature focuses on home and workplace charging. With 70% of fleets planning to install chargepoints in the next 12 months, smart investment is critical.

Done well, charging infrastructure supports operations, reduces whole-life costs and strengthens the EV business case. Done poorly, it risks costly delays and inefficiencies. As charging becomes a new cost line for fleets, it’s crucial that savings from running EVs help offset the infrastructure spend.

Assessing how your fleet will be used and charged

■ It's vital to understand vehicle duty cycles, and in particular where and for how long they ‘sleep’ or dwell, ie: where they are stationary for long enough to merit plugging in to recharge their batteries, either partially or fully. The majority of company vehicles return to employees’ homes overnight, creating the perfect opportunity for a slow and cheap battery recharge. About 5% of vehicles, particularly light commercial vehicles, return to a depot overnight, again creating the perfect opportunity for cost-effective recharging.

Heavy-usage fleets

Other vehicles, however, in sectors such as logistics and the emergency services may have multiple drivers and be active around the clock. These will therefore require a short, fast recharge, perhaps as cargo is being loaded or between driver shifts. Specialist analysis of telematics data can provide valuable insight into duty cycles, identifying which ICE vehicles can be replaced by a battery-powered vehicle, without any operational compromise (assuming they start each day with enough power in the batteries to complete the day’s roster of journeys).

The same analysis can even identify the specific make and model of EV capable of performing the duty cycle required. The rapid growth in EV ranges means some vehicles may only require charging once every two to four days, depending on their daily mileage. Understanding their range requirements is important in vehicle selection, too – vehicles that operationally cover shorter mileages can have smaller battery packs, which significantly cuts their acquisition cost and charging times.

70% of fleets say that they're planning to install workplace charging in the next 12 months

Some manufacturers offer a free home charger when you buy their new EV

STEP I TWO

Home charging analysis

Will cheaper homecharging work for your drivers… and who pays?

■ Domestic addresses offer the easiest solution to access low cost, off-peak, overnight electricity tariffs without any complications regarding local grid capacity. However, there are several issues to consider and resolve before pursuing this policy: How many company car and van drivers have off-street parking at home, and how can you best find this out? Brief staff questionnaires followed by line manager reminders are best.

Who

pays for the chargepoint and its installation?

Some fleets, particularly those with light commercial vehicles (LCVs) or vans, which are essential operational tools for their drivers, cover the installation costs for home chargers. These vehicles often rely on home charging, so drivers can continue with their daily operations. In contrast, many other fleets expect company

car drivers to cover the cost of home charger installation. This expectation is balanced by the significant savings drivers enjoy from the minimal benefit-in-kind (BIK) tax rate on zeroemission cars. For drivers who move house, the situation can vary. Some fleets only provide financial support for the installation of one chargepoint per employee. However, fleets operating electric light commercial vehicles (e-LCVs) are often more flexible.

Grant availability

The EV Chargepoint Grant remains available, but is now limited to residents of flats and rented accommodation. Eligible applicants must have private off-street parking and own or lease a qualifying electric vehicle. The grant covers up to 75% of the cost of purchasing and installing a home chargepoint, capped at £350. Homeowners in houses are no longer eligible under this scheme. However, an additional grant is now available for households with on-street parking, offering the same £350 contribution towards the cost of a chargepoint and a crosspavement charging solution, provided certain criteria are met. Both grants are currently scheduled to remain open until 31 March, 2026.

‘How many company car and van drivers have offstreet parking at home, and how can you find this out?’

STEP

I THREE

Essential information to ensure you select the right chargepoint infrastructure

■ When considering installing workplace chargepoints, fleets need to answer these questions:

■ How many sites with parking spaces does the organisation have?

■ How many company car and van drivers park at the site and will need to plug in their vehicles?

■ How many employees without a company vehicle would benefit from charging at work?

■ How many visitors might want to charge their vehicles?

Workplace analysis Landlord negotiations

tools to facilitate the installation of the right charging infrastructure. It assesses the current, and future, chargepoints a fleet will require, both at the workplace and at employees’ homes. Charger speeds, and the energy demand this will place on the local electricity grid are also factored in.

Workplace Grants

■ Can any vehicles be charged out of work hours?

■ How will this demand look in 10 years’ time, when the Government has banned the sale of new ICE vehicles?

Businesses such as Dynamon provide the technological

For businesses, charities and public sector organisations, the Workplace Charging Scheme (WCS) provides support for installing EV chargepoints at workplaces. The grant covers up to 75% of the total cost of purchasing and installing EV chargepoints, with a cap of £350 per socket and a maximum of 40 sockets across all sites, per applicant. To qualify, organisations must own the property or have permission from the landlord to install chargepoints. These schemes are available across the UK, and claims are open until 31 March, 2026.

Working with your landlord and DNO is vital when developing EV infrastructure

Assessing your energy needs for charging is crucial to longterm success

‘It assesses the current, and future, charge points a fleet will require’

STEP I FOUR

Speed of workplace charging

Choose the charging speeds to futureproof your business

Determining the optimum speed of chargers for the workplace depends on two criteria:

■ How long vehicles are at the workplace?

■ The grid's power supply to the location

Generally, the longer a vehicle is parked, the slower the charger required. A 7kWh charger is more than capable of filling an EV’s batteries overnight. However, a fleet with a fast turnaround of vehicles might need to top-up batteries in under an hour, and require rapid 50kWh-plus chargers for the task.

Some fleets dictate that workplace chargers should only be used for emergency top-ups, in cases where, for example, a driver has failed to plug their vehicle in properly at home. Only rapid chargers can solve this problem.

But, rapid chargers place a huge strain on the grid compared to 7kWh chargers. They may

require costly reinforcement of both cabling and the local substation, by the Distribution Network Operator (DNO). These costs can run into tens of thousands of pounds, meaning it may be cheaper to install solar panels and battery storage solutions, to store renewable energy.

Several vehicles plugged into 7kWh chargers simultaneously, can also place a heavy strain on the grid, but smart charging technology that balances the speed of charging with the local availability of power can avoid overloads.

Installation costs

Most of the cost involved in installing workplace chargepoints is in groundworks, so it pays to do this only once. Forecast future demand for workplace charging in a decade’s time, and lay cables that can carry this power, even if some charge points won't be installed for a few years.

The Government’s depot charging scheme funds 75% of charge point and civil costs (up to £1m per organisation) to support e-HGVs, vans and coaches. It's open to fleets, councils and non-profits in the UK, with one application per organisation. It closes on 28 Nov, 2025, or when funds run out. Work must finish by 31 Mar, 2026. Find out more details at: https://findgovernment-grants.service.gov.uk/grants/ depot-charging-scheme-1

Finally, accelerate EV infrastructure payback by allowing non-company users access to your chargers. This may require extra investment in a payment system for these private users.

‘A 7kWh charger is more than capable of filling an EV’s batteries overnight’

■ In theory, landlords should understand the UK’s trajectory towards zero-emission vehicles and appreciate that EV chargepoints will enhance a property’s value and appeal. But this is not always the case, with lengthy delays reported by some fleets as they await approval.

This is an area where fleet decision makers are well advised

to involve their facilities, legal and procurement teams for support. Start discussions as early as possible with landlords sand Distribution Network operators (DNOs) – especially where there may be competition from neighbours for a limited power supply. Also, factor chargepoint availability into future property acquisitions and leases.

Start discussions as early as possible with landlords, as well as with DNOs

Toni Flower

Fleetwise discusses the future of the industry, and the importance of a TCO-based strategy, with Ayvens’ EV and Sustainability Proposition

Lead

Iwork in the Product & Marketing Team, and I am responsible for looking after some of our EV suppliers, and looking at our EV proposition and how we deliver that to customers. It’s about understanding the customer needs, how we ensure we’re meeting those needs with the products and services we offer; improving the driver journey; making sure we’ve got comms, and educating the business with our Charge-Up Café sessions. So, it’s quite a well-rounded role.

FW: Are fleets embracing the ZEV mandate, or do you have to battle to convince them it’s the right direction?

Toni Flower: From a retail point of view, demand for EVs has been relatively flat, but I think fleet operators have been really proactive, with early adopters taking advantage of some of the incentives, and fast-tracking their electrification strategies. Key drivers for adoption include attractive tax incentives – so, the low BiK continues to make it attractive, especially when offered via salary sacrifice.

Cost is another key driver. I think most fleets are recognising the long-term running costs of EVs are lower, even if list prices are higher than petrol and diesel vehicles. I think that’s one of the reasons our TCO+ tool (Total Cost of Operation) has been really popular. It models that whole-vehicle-life-cycle, giving an overall, holistic view.

Charging infrastructure is another factor. From our side, we’ve seen continued investment from customers around workplace- and depot-charging infrastructure, and also home-charging solutions. That helps to reduce the resistance you get to EVs when transitioning a team.

That said, online criticism can create questions and uncertainty at a driver level, which means we have to work even harder to support our customers – helping them to navigate that noise, understand their specific transition needs, and respond to the concerns coming from their drivers.

Once you’ve got your customers on board, how are you dealing with requests for information and support?

We’re really committed to providing our customers with guidance and making sure we support them with the right information.

We provide extensive online support through our website, including detailed FAQs. Additionally, we offer a range of tools designed to help fleet operators understand crucial factors like EV charging costs, charging times and fleet-transition readiness.

That said, changes to policy can affect confidence in the transition. The recent updates to the ZEV mandate*, particularly the relaxation of targets for vans from April 2025, was a welcome move for many of our customers – especially those in the commercial vehicle space. It gives manufacturers the breathing space they need to meet those targets. But the government will need to closely monitor how car-to-van credit exchanges are used, to ensure van adoption isn’t deprioritised.

There’s also a risk that pulling back on hard targets could undermine consumer confidence, particularly in the used EV market. So, while fleets are largely embracing the transition, it’s vital that we see a clear and consistent long-term strategy from government.

On social media, it feels like negativity around EVs is swamping any positivity. What’s your take on that? There’s certainly a lot of noise on social media, and it can skew perceptions – but from a fleet perspective, our customers tend to be more focused on their ESG (Environmental, Social and Governance) targets and their long-term strategies. They know that transitioning to EVs is something they need to do.

Our Insights Hub features articles to guide fleets through the EV journey. We also produce the Fleet Navigator podcast, host webinars and live events, and closely support our account management team to ensure comprehensive customer assistance.

For drivers, we offer tools and support resources, including a dedicated EV Hub, where they can find answers before they start the ordering process. An EV is one of the most advanced pieces of technology a business driver will use, so understanding it thoroughly is essential.

By providing this information, we empower our customers to make informed decisions throughout their EV transition. Importantly, this is an ongoing process – we continuously evolve our support as the market and technology develop.

Are all the new automotive entrants, particularly the Chinese brands, good news for fleets?

Yes. If you look at BYD, for example, it’s not just another manufacturer, it’s a tech company. China produces 68% of the world’s EVs, but more significantly, it makes 86% of lithiumion batteries.

That means they can position their brands against the biggest global competitors on price and scale. I think that’s really important for people looking to make the switch to EV –delivering affordable electric cars is something that the Chinese OEMs are very good at.

So, having that entry-level fleet segment, with vehicles that are really attractive on EV salary sacrifice schemes is great, because it allows employees in lower tax brackets to get into an EV.

In the past, fleet decision makers often tended to favour one particular manufacturer. However, in recent years, that’s shifted. Drivers are now more open-minded when it comes to their vehicle, particularly if it offers things that are important to them –good value for money, and all the in-car technology.

That’s especially true when it comes to electric vehicles.

Ayvens offers a range of top-quality services for fleets and fleet drivers

“I think for women starting in the industry, build your network, and take opportunities – even if you don’t feel like you’re 100% there yet. Because growth often comes out of those moments.

The EV industry is evolving rapidly, and it needs diverse voices to shape the future”

Toni Flower EV and Sustainability –Proposition Lead at Ayvens

Has the status of BMW and Audi as company cars changed with the EV revolution and the new Chinese imports?

People will always have their favourites – whether that’s based on brand loyalty, personal experience or perception of quality. But with more manufacturers entering the EV space and expanding their ranges, we’re seeing a much broader mix of vehicles on fleet policies. That’s giving drivers more choice than ever before. Ultimately, it comes down to the individual’s preferences and the customer’s fleet policy – what vehicle types are permitted, how choice lists are structured, and what fits with their operational needs and sustainability goals.

Why should fleets consider TCO (Total Cost of Operation) analysis in their strategies and leasing plans?

TCO+ is our total-cost-of-operation solution, and it delivers fleets that overall visibility – so it includes things like fleet selection, cost analysis, performance insight, and it helps customers to make more confident, data-led decisions.

It’s important to look at that ‘overall view’, so that you can understand the total costs, not just the monthly headline cost. We’ve got our Ayvens’ consultancy team, and they’re there to help support the customer through the process.

The team develops a thorough understanding of the customer’s fleet, including the vehicles that they’re using. TCO+ has around 30 parameters that home-in on different requirements. So, it looks at payload, load length, fuel type, etc. And what it does is it filters out those vehicles that are unsuitable for the customer. It then results in a specific list of vehicles that could be suitable for their operational and financial requirements.

It also looks at location data, and ideally, we would use the customer’s own telematics data. We can use that to map out key locations for the customer’s businesses, in terms of where those vehicles operate. We use that location data to predict how different dealership networks could meet our customer’s specific needs.

*UPDATED ZEV MANDATE: WHAT’S CHANGED?

Hybrid sales extended to 2035

■ Car and van manufacturers will now be allowed to continue selling hybrid models until 2035. This marks a five-year extension from the original deadline and gives the industry more time to adapt.

ICE vans also get a reprieve

■ New vans powered by internal combustion engines can now be sold up to 2035 too, aligning with the revised hybrid timeline. The change is designed to ease the transition to electric, giving both manufacturers and consumers more breathing room.

More flexibility for manufacturers

■ While the core ZEV targets remain – such as 28% of new car sales and 16% of new van sales needing to be zero emission by 2025 – manufacturers can now shift some of their EV sales into later years. This flexibility acknowledges that demand is expected to grow over time and avoids putting undue pressure on the industry too early.

Exemptions for small-volume brands

■ Smaller car makers, including names like Aston Martin and Morgan, are now exempt from the strict ZEV sales targets. The move recognises the distinct challenges faced by low-volume producers and aims to protect innovation and variety in the UK’s automotive sector.

“We continuously evolve our support as the market and technology develops”

We then combine that information with downtime data to highlight dealerships that can get those vehicles back on the road quicker. And then, we look at infrastructure requirements, for example, if customers want to move to a greener fleet.

We go through that entire process with customers, because there’s not a one-size-fits-all solution. So, it’s really good to understand our customers’ needs, what their fleet is and how it operates – then what we can do to support it.

Is TCO analysis something that’s really come to the forefront with the EV revolution?

Yes, it’s become a much more valuable part of the conversation. With EVs, the ‘total-cost’ picture can be quite different from traditional ICE vehicles – particularly when you factor in lower running costs, maintenance and tax advantages. TCO analysis has become essential for helping customers understand the real financial impact of going electric, beyond just the initial list price.

It’s also become more strategic. As fleets move towards electrification, TCO+ helps them plan in a more informed, data-led way – identifying where EVs make the most sense operationally and financially. It’s no longer just a budgeting tool – it’s helping shape long-term fleet strategies.

Does Ayvens have other tools to ease the ZEV transition? Our EV Readiness tool helps fleet managers to determine where they are on the road to Net Zero and assess the suitability of vehicles to meet their business needs. We’ve also got a Flex tool, looking at temporary mobility needs for short-term projects.

Alongside those, we have white papers and research – like our Ayvens Sustainable Mobility Report. That report draws on insights from over 250 decision-makers in UK fleets with 250 vehicles or more. It explores the current state of sustainable mobility, how organisations are responding to environmental targets and external pressures, the benefits they’re already seeing, and the practical steps and challenges they face.

What’s your advice to fleets starting their EV transition? It’s not always about doing everything at once. It’s ‘How do we achieve our goals and what can we do first?’. We can focus initially on the low-hanging fruit, the elements that we know are going to work. With any big changes, the fleet operator’s reputation is on the line, so we need to make it work for them, by delivering the help, support and tools needed for a successful EV transition.

Finally, congratulations on being recognised on the BVRLA Industry Hero Awards shortlist.

It was an honour to be recognised, and a really proud moment in my career. It’s incredibly motivating just to be acknowledged. There are some really inspiring women who are shaping the EV landscape, and driving innovation. It’s really important that everyone’s voice should be recognised. I would say to young women in the industry, for me, it’s about always learning, always asking questions. That’s kind of got me to where I am today.

I think for women starting in the industry, build your network, and take opportunities – even if you don’t feel like that you’re 100% there yet. Because growth often comes out of those moments. The EV industry is evolving rapidly, and it needs diverse voices to shape the future.

Tom Rowlands

Tom Rowlands, Managing Director of Global EV Solutions, Corpay, including UK brand, Allstar, reveals how Allstar Chargepass is revolutionising fleet charging

The EV transition has brought with it both opportunities and challenges for UK fleets. Among them, the administrative burden of managing electric-vehicle operations has consistently ranked as the number-one pain point for fleet managers. In this interview, Tom Rowlands, Managing Director at Allstar Chargepass, shares how the Allstar brand has evolved from a trusted fuel-card provider into a powerful, all-in-one charging solution, that’s simplifying EV fleet management at scale.

Q: Allstar is Highly Recommended in the Trusted Brands report. How does it support fleet efficiency?

Tom Rowlands: Allstar Chargepass is an integrated product that enables fleet operators to manage traditional fuelling, public EV charging and home charging under one system. It provides access to the UK’s largest proprietary fuel network for ICE vehicles, and the UK’s largest and fastest EV roaming network. It also enables home charging reimbursement directly to utility providers – ensuring drivers are never left out of pocket. It gives fleet managers full visibility and control, and reduces complexity.

Q: Does the simpler reimbursement of home-charging drive greater adoption?

Yes, significantly. Data shows that drivers with access to home charging do about 80% of their charging at home. Direct reimbursement –without the need for drivers to pay upfront and wait weeks for expenses – is a major factor. It’s not just about cost, though; it’s about convenience and avoiding disruptions to a driver’s day.

Q: How does Allstar help fleet managers, operationally?

Our Allstar online tool enables fleet managers to onboard and offboard drivers, toggle services – fuel, EV, home charging –with a single click, and get detailed reports on charging behaviour. It’s intuitive and modular, eliminating the need for separate platforms or tools.

Q: Simplifying admin is critical for busy fleets. How does your invoicing system work?

We provide one consolidated invoice that includes all drivers and services, with full VAT breakdowns. No receipt capture is needed. That’s a huge admin win, especially for businesses managing both ICE and EV vehicles.

Q: What’s the vision behind your recent acquisition of the parking app, PayByPhone?

Q: What about drivers who live in flats or can’t install a charger at home?

That’s a great question. Not every driver has off-street parking or the ability to install a home charger. That’s why we’ve partnered with Co Charger to offer a ‘near-home-charging’ solution. It gives drivers access to thousands of shared residential chargers across the UK – typically within walking distance of their homes. It’s a smart and scalable alternative, especially for urban drivers, and it allows for convenient overnight charging without the premium cost of rapid public chargers. While slightly more expensive than charging at home, due to a small host fee, it’s usually far more affordable than standard public charging. For fleets, this adds another layer of flexibility and cost efficiency.

Q: Do fleet policies for drivers influence charging behaviours too?

Very much so. Larger fleets often have formal policies mandating home charging where possible. Smaller fleets tend to be more focused on the value proposition and savings. We support both by surveying fleets to identify which company drivers have access to driveways or already have chargers. We even help to facilitate installations through partners like Indra.

It’s about streamlining more aspects of fleet mobility. Parking transactions can be managed through Allstar and included in the same invoice. It’s about creating a seamless experience –from charging to parking – with a single payment method.

Q: What role does AI play in the Allstar Chargepass platform?

Artificial Intelligence is mostly used in customer service to handle complex queries related to EVs and home charging.

But we’re expanding its role to include route optimisation, pricing analysis and predictive tools to make the platform smarter and more proactive. It’s a fast-moving area with a lot of potential.

Q: Looking ahead, what’s next for Allstar Chargepass?

Expanding the EV roaming network remains a big priority – more locations, more coverage. We’re also deepening partnerships with CPOs to use data insights to drive better pricing and utilisation. And we’re developing the workplace charging offering further to support more fleets. Ultimately, our goal is simple: to make it effortless for fleets to charge anywhere, anytime.

Q: Finally, in a report focused on trust, how does Allstar Chargepass earn it?

Trust is built through reliability and delivery. In payments, even a single failed transaction can cause drivers to switch cards. So, we prioritise stability, seamless experiences and transparency. We listen to our customers – big and small – and integrate their feedback into our roadmap. Where we can’t solve something, we’re honest about why. That’s what builds long-term trust. From removing EV admin headaches to enabling overnight charging just steps from home, Allstar Chargepass is delivering a future-proof solution for modern fleets. And for thousands of UK drivers, the future of fleet charging is now – anytime, anywhere.

Shane Mann

John Sootheran chats with the CEO at fleet management and maintenance software expert, Tranzaura… a business that knows the right time is ‘Now’

Tranzaura is a fleet intelligence and management software company, transforming operations through real-time insights. Its cloud-based platform, FleetNow, simplifies compliance, maintenance and asset management, connecting disconnected data to boost safety, efficiency, decision-making and the speed of change. It helps transport operators to cut costs, reduce risk and run smarter, more streamlined fleets with minimal effort. Shane Mann has been with the company for over a decade, and its CEO since 2019. He takes up the story.

“I joined Tranzaura as Chief Operating Officer in 2014. I was brought in with responsibility for the product and the technology.

Then it was just a natural company progression. The main founder, who was the CEO, exited the business, and the board asked me to step up.

So, it’s been a challenge, a bit of a ride, taking the business through COVID and on to our acquisition of Truckfile.”

How was Tranzaura founded, and how did it grow?

Tranzaura was founded back in 2010. The founder spotted the opportunity that was arising as tachograph analysis went from paper tacho cards to digital outputs.

Why the company was created still resonates to this day. It was founded to manage the large volumes of information produced by vehicles and systems, and then present back actionable insights.

Tranzaura analysed all the information that came back from the trucks, and applied all the driving-time and working-time directive rules to that information, to figure out where drivers weren’t being compliant. We’d then give that information to fleet managers, so they could take actions to protect their operator’s licences. Then, the next step for Tranzaura came from thinking, ‘What else can we do around driver compliance?’. At that time, the conversations were starting surrounding driver walk-around checks, which were done on paper.

Can you describe Tranzaura’s key proposition?

Tranzaura’s an information-led company. It’s what makes us different. We connect you with the information you need to see, when you need to see it. That’s our USP.

How much is AI apart of what Tranzaura does?

When integrating AI, we had to stay true to ourselves. We asked: ‘How do we use AI to be better at serving the right information, at the right time, to the right people?

My own background is in business intelligence. I’ve built large data warehouses. I led the teams, did the design, collated all the information, built the reporting system and then the reports, with dashboards, KPIs and everything like that.

Traditionally, people were asked to answer a question ‘now’, but there was always a lead time. By the time that report came back out, the person requesting it would go: “Yeah, I love your report. It answers the question. The question was a week ago.”.

We talk about ourselves now as a fleet management and intelligence company, and our platform is FleetNow. We’re really good at integrators, and that differentiates us.

We see a lot of our competitors shy away from integrating with many different third parties, and then pulling all the relevant information together in one place. That’s fine. It takes some serious skill to do it. But we’re good at it.

We’ve brought the AI element of reporting dashboards and KPIs to that information. What clients are able to do now is ask an English question in a Google-search style… for example, they might type in: ‘How many of my vehicles on the road today have had a vehicle check, and how many of them had a defect’. Enter.

So, we were very much a driver-compliance platform, built around delivering tools to fleet managers, to manage their drivers for their compliance partner.

One of our first key customers for walk-around checks had a huge issue with paper, in that they had to get reports back from 500 sites every week, from 3500 vehicles and 5000 drivers. That resulted in huge bundles of walk-around check-sheets, wrapped with an elastic band and posted in, every week!

Humans can’t deal with that, and give you a reliable compliance and safety picture, ‘in the now’.

The word ‘now’ is important, because that’s where our brand FleetNow comes from. How do you do ‘now’ with technology?

So, the new walk-around checks and digital tachographs, they were computer systems that took real-time information and digested it. They then presented the picture back to the fleet manager, ’in the now’, allowing them to make effective decisions.

The system uses large-language models. The query gets translated into computer speak, then that’s executed against the datasets. These are in a database that’s been built specifically for this purpose, through third-party integration, and using information we generate ourselves.

The system gets that information and ‘in the now’, it presents it back as a report to the user.

That user can then do a number of things; they can go, ‘I’ve got my answer’, or they can say: ‘That’s not quite right’, and give it a tweak to get exactly what they need. It’s very intuitive. You don’t need report-writing skills.

Tranzaura recently acquired Truckfile, could you explain a bit about why, and why now?

I suppose, it goes back to our roots as a company that has always worked with operators. It’s meant that everything we’ve ever built has had an operator focus – our walk-around checks, our tachograph analysis, our communication tools and our workshop management, have always been through the owner-operator lens.

But, there’s a huge chunk of business in the UK called

Tranzaura makes complex fleet data easy to decipher

“We don’t see ourselves as a technology company. We see ourselves as an information company that uses technology to deliver what our customers need ‘in the now’”

Shane Mann CEO of Tranzaura

commercial workshops, and we, number one, didn’t have the products for that sector; number two, we didn’t really have the industry knowledge, because we never worked with commercial workshops. There’s a different mindset and different needs.

Then, number three, we want to expand our UK footprint. We want to be a bigger and better-known company in that market. So, Truckfile became a very natural fit as an acquisition.

So, what does a high-performing fleet look like now, and how might it look in five years’ time?

High performing fleets ask a lot of questions. They’re constantly reinventing. They’re constantly questioning themselves: ‘Can we be better?’, ‘Where are our problems?’. Often, they come to people like us, and say: ‘We want to know where our problems are, and where are our big spends?’. Money is actually one of the biggest triggers with these guys.

The big fleets, and the serious fleets, are considering those ideas all the time, and continually asking for information, for questions, for supporting information. ‘Can you tell me how good I am at fuel usage?’, ‘How is my EV fleet performing versus my ice fleet?’

The companies that are going to be the best, are the ones that are looking for information, have a lot of questions and are looking for answers, ‘in the now’.

Do you think a fleet can survive in the future without some form of fleet software?

There’s too much going on, including from a regulatory perspective, but it’s the volume, too. You might talk to a small operator, and they go: ‘I do it all in my head’. But you apply volume to that thinking, and that guy collapses once he gets to 20 or 30 vehicles. It’s just not humanly possible. So, managing all that is our USP, it’s our differentiator. We welcome you throwing all that data at us. We want it. But what we do is, we build a system that sits on top of it and allows you to ask the questions you want to ask, then delivers back the information you need, in the moment.

Can your software deliver for the dedicated big-fleet team manager and the multi-skilling HR or facilities manager? That’s probably the key ingredient, because those guys from HR and facilities, they have no background in transport logistics. A system like ours guides them – ‘Here are your regulatory obligations: You must do a safety inspection in a workshop every

six weeks. Your driver must do a walk-around every day, etc’.

We don’t want to tell you about everything you’re doing right. We’re going to tell you about the things that are not happening or that are being done wrong.

Tell me that you’re 96% compliant and you’re doing a wonderful job. What about the 4%? That’s where the accidents happen.

Do your clients ever say: “We need this specific bit of software or coding”, and you develop it for them?

That’s actually how we’ve got to where we are.

I’ve just described the likes of HR and finance, as not being logistics or transport people. Well, we’re not either!

We don’t know all the answers. We have to work in collaboration with our customers. They’re the guys that know what they need, and what they want to make them better.

But they don’t know how to deliver that in an IT system. So, by us sitting with them, we can solve those issues together.

How does FleetNow, influence ‘trust’ with your customers? Trust is everything. The one thing that I have seen in the transport industry is trust is where you earn your credit. Trust is how you win your deals. Credibility – you can’t give it up.

So FleetNow and Tranzaura are about bringing honesty and visibility. That’s through information presentation, correlation and integration – all that sort of stuff. We give you visibility into things in your company that you never had.

How does it feel to achieve HighlyRecommendedstatus in the 100 TrustedBrandsinFleetresearch, by FleetWise?

We are genuinely thrilled about it. Everyone has worked very hard. I’ve had people in bus garages, in truck garages, working overnight, looking for problems, away from their families, and working really hard so that we can deliver something to the industry that we’re in, and win the trust of those people.

And this is validation of that. Everybody in the company has been energised by it. We don’t intend giving it up.

“Depot electrification looks expensive at first glance – hardware, civils, grid work, energy systems – it’s a lot. But EV charging isn’t a cost centre when you approach it strategically. It’s an investment”

Natasha Fry Head of Sales, Mer UK

Paul Hollick

The CEO of driver-coaching-system provider, Lightfoot – and Chair of the AFP – explains how his decarb and driver-safety device can pay for itself

Lightfoot’s in-vehicle technology delivers smoother, safer driving across fleets. This results, it reveals, in up to 15% fuel savings, 45% less wear and tear, a 40% reduction in collisions, 84% fewer dangerous driving incidents, and up to 15% lower CO₂ emissions. For EVs, by adopting a smoother driving style, Lightfoot says it can also extend range by up to 15%.

Paul Hollick, the company’s CEO, explains how Lightfoot uses ‘the carrot’ to engage fleet drivers with its plug-and-play or hardwired device.

Paul Hollick: Lightfoot is a tool for fleets, ESG managers and businesses to help decarbonise operations and run safer fleets. The device is a hardware unit fitted to the vehicle’s dashboard, providing real-time coaching to fleet drivers. It encourages them to drive within the vehicle’s sweet spot. If they fall outside that range, a combination of traffic light indicators and audible prompts will alert them to adjust. Alongside these alerts, the device delivers real-time coaching, guiding gear selection and engine revs, to keep drivers safely in the green zone.

Lightfoot was born out of the Decarbonisation Programme with Innovate UK nearly 15 years ago. Originally, the project aimed to deliver hybrid vans that would reduce fuel use and emissions. But the technology failed to perform as expected. After analysis, the Lightfoot team discovered the issue wasn’t the tech, it was the way the vans were being driven.

That lightbulb moment led to the creation of Lightfoot, along with its clear goals. Those were: to improve driver performance, enable fleets to achieve lower costs and reduce risk, and help fleets to lessen their environmental impact.

The goal is simple: drive well, keep your score high, and become an Elite Driver. They can see how they rank among peers and join our Drivers’ Lottery, with weekly prizes ranging from £2 to £200. We also give out £1000 to one lucky winning driver every month, and we’ve just awarded our first Fleet Driver of the Year a grand prize of £10,000.

Some customers also run internal leagues for added competition. It’s all about engagement, and that drives real behavioural change. Most people don’t realise they have poor driving habits, especially as many haven’t had any further driver training since the day they passed their tests.

Lightfoot empowers drivers to improve without being called in by managers for retrospective feedback. We’re a preventative tool –hands-off for managers, but hands-on for driver improvement.

Lightfoot is now endorsed by the majority of UK insurers.

Has anyone measured the effectiveness of Lightfoot?

We do that through our trial process. We install the devices in a selection of fleet vehicles and run them in ‘blind mode’ for four weeks, collecting real-world data on current driving behaviour. Then we switch to ‘live mode’, where the devices start coaching drivers in real time – that can create a seismic change in the way the fleet is performing. We often see fleets saving up to 15% in mpg and carbon. Most fleets that complete a trial become longterm customers. We also see a significant reduction in collisions, harsh driving, and up to 45% less vehicle wear and tear.

Are drivers rated, to add a competitive element?

That’s part of our carrot-not-stick approach. Drivers are rewarded for smooth driving through the Lightfoot app and gamification platform. Drivers aim to become Elite, with scores calculated at the end of every journey.

Is the information from the in-car unit networked back to base?

Tracking is optional. In Europe, we are a decarbonisation and safety tool, not a traditional telematics solution. You can access the benefits of Lightfoot without location tracking.

That said, we’re connected to the vehicle’s onboard computer, so we read engine data to provide realtime coaching based on actual driver performance. Clients use our portal to view this data, and if they choose, they can view vehicle locations via the app. If a driver is involved in a suspected collision, our First Notification of Loss (FNOL) feature immediately alerts the client, ensuring the driver’s safety, and to get the vehicle into a safe state.

This isn’t just for ICE vehicles. We also capture EV-specific data, including when and where the vehicle was charged, as well as battery levels before and after charging.

Can a fleet ‘build’ the system to its own requirements?

Yes. While the physical devices are identical, we upload specific firmware tailored to each vehicle make and model. The system even calibrates to take account of the payload, and whether the vehicle is towing, to ensure accurate coaching.

EVs behave differently to petrol or diesel vehicles, and cars differ from vans. So the Lightfoot system is modular, and programmed to be vehicle-specific.

Clients can access all their data, generate reports, and analyse performance in whatever way best suits their operation.

We also offer forward, and rear-facing cameras, creating a full fleet management solution.

All our solutions are AI enabled. We have predictive learning and we’ve got AI-driven reports. I think that the industry, as a whole, is still in its infancy around the use of AI – we’re still only scratching the surface – but everybody’s embracing AI.

The carrot! Lightfoot’s ‘Driver of the Year’ bags 10-grand

“Most people don’t realise they have poor habits, especially as many haven’t had any further driver training since passing their test”

Paul Hollick CEO of Lightfoot, and Chair of the AFP

Lightfoot’s proven to have an immediate positive effect on driving behaviours

Can Lightfoot data help ICE fleets in making the decision whether to switch to alternative fuels or not?

Absolutely. Our EValuation Tool analyses ICE vehicle performance, including mileage, driver behaviour and charging costs, to identify which vehicles can be switched to EV, and when. Even better, we can use third-party telematics data alongside Lightfoot data. Everything is fed into our data factory, where we deliver clear, accurate insights based on a fleet’s unique needs, so fleets can electrify with confidence.

How would you sum-up Lightfoot’s three key benefits?

Number one is decarbonisation – reducing your fleet’s CO₂ emissions significantly.

Number two is safety. Improve driver behaviour, reduce accidents, and lower insurance premiums.

The third one is ROI – we’re brilliant at providing demonstrable ROI to our clients, from the outset, at the trial phase.

For EVs, the extension in vehicle range is hard to ignore. Putting Lightfoot on your EV fleet could mean the difference between having to charge up for an hour during the working day, at 70p/ kWh, or getting all the way home and charging for 7p/kWh.

What sort of clients are opting for Lightfoot?

We serve fleets across all sectors, but we’ve built especially strong partnerships in retail, last-mile logistics and utilities.

Many household names have adopted Lightfoot, and most trial users go on to purchase, thanks to the tangible improvements in safety and sustainability.

What are the payment options? Buy the device or lease it?

Clients have got two options: Purchase the hardware and pay an ongoing licence subscription, or pay for monthly rental (our most popular model). Once the primary agreement is fulfilled, they move to a subscription model for the second life.

Most clients prefer a rental, rather than paying upfront. That’s great as it matches their savings with their costs.

“Many of our peers produce a lot of reports retrospectively… for us it’s about dealing with the driver experience at the time of the event”

Paul Hollick CEO of Lightfoot, and Chair of the AFP

FLEETWISE REVIEW

Flexis SAS

All-new electric-van brand about to hit Britain’s roads

Electric van startups are nothing new – but few arrive with the industrial muscle and strategic clarity of Flexis. Born from a joint venture between Volvo Group and Renault Group, and now joined by logistics heavyweight CMA CGM, Flexis isn’t just building electric vans; it’s crafting a fleet-first EV ecosystem aimed squarely at urban logistics.

No diesel hangover

What sets Flexis apart is its native EV platform – no diesel legacy compromises here. The line-up includes a low-height Panel Van that marries a compact footprint with the cargo capacity of a mid-size van; a highly-customisable Cargo Van designed for conversions; and a Step-In Van, optimised for last-mile delivery, with driver ergonomics front and centre. All offer 800-volt architecture for rapid charging, and modular battery packs.

Yet the hardware only tells half the story. Flexis’ SoftwareDefined-Vehicle (SDV) approach enables live diagnostics, OTA updates and deep fleet integration. It’s a connected tool as much as a vehicle – backed by flexible service packages spanning uptime, energy optimisation and even ESG reporting.

More than a van Built at Renault’s Sandouville plant and leveraging Ampere’s

EV expertise, Flexis operates as an independent entity, led by Volvo veteran Philippe Divry. Renault and Volvo each retain 45% ownership, with CMA CGM holding the remaining 10%.

Production of the first van is planned for 2026.

Flexis is a well-funded challenge to the status quo. For fleets seeking electric vans that plug into wider business systems, rather than simply replace diesel units, it may well be one of the most serious contenders yet.

An entire eco-system

“Flexis is positioned to lead the market for fleet solutions in urban logistics, backed by the industrial strength of market leaders Renault and Volvo,” says Matt Hawkins, Head of UK/ IR Markets at Flexis. “Our mission is to transform sustainable delivery fleets through a new generation of fully-electric vans, connected services and adaptable solutions.

“We’re much more than an OEM. We’re delivering an entire ecosystem designed to minimise downtime, cost and emissions, while maximising efficiency, safety and security. Flexis’ focus is on everything the urban logistics fleet operator needs.

“Our software-defined vehicles harness the power of data and diagnostics to create resilient, green and efficient fleets, designed to perform in busy urban environments.”
