SMART FLEET. Your route to efficiencies and cost savings immediately

Unlike many decarbonisation solutions which seem to expect you to take the pain for the sake of the environment, SMART FLEET offers attractive ROI from the outset, explains TPS’ Charles Rendell. 

 SMART FLEET removes key barriers to EV adoption by delivering a low-CAPEX, high-impact system that supports both operational continuity and energy efficiency.

No costly operational re-imagining

From an operational perspective, our VELOX Ultra-Rapid DC chargers enable fleet vehicles to charge within timeframes comparable to Diesel fleet refuelling. This allows operators to maintain existing logistics models without disruption – enabling a seamless transition without the need for time consuming and expensive re-imagination of operational and commercial architecture.

Vehicles become flexible energy assets for cost effective power

Our DC Microgrid system enables a revolutionary concept: turning EVs into flexible energy assets. With V2X capability, operators can store low-cost, off-peak and / or locally generated energy in vehicle batteries and redistribute it across their operations—powering buildings, equipment, or other vehicles as needed. This creates a flexible, decentralised energy ecosystem that reduces reliance on the grid, ensures end to end operational efficiency and maximises energy cost savings.

Lowering infrastructure costs and approval hurdles

SMART FLEET also reduces the need for expensive and time-consuming grid upgrades. By optimising energy use locally and managing peak demand, SMART FLEET eases pressure on the distribution network—lowering both infrastructure costs and approval hurdles. This is particularly valuable in grid-constrained areas where traditional electrification would be cost-prohibitive or delayed.

The benefits are already being realised

• Veolia deployed SMART FLEET in January 2024 and is seeing a 20% reduction in depot energy costs, while maintaining operational efficiency for the electric refuse collection fleet they operate for Westminster City Council.
