Planning the transition of a 100- to 400-vehicle fleet?
We analyse how your vehicles are actually used to identify which are operationally viable, what charging infrastructure will be required and where electrification makes financial sense.
Why analyse the whole fleet?
Electrification decisions become stronger when vehicles, routes and workloads are considered together. A direct diesel-to-EV replacement can overlook opportunities to improve utilisation, redistribute work or put the highest-mileage suitable vehicles into electric operation first.
Analysing the fleet as a system also connects vehicle decisions with charging requirements. This allows depot infrastructure to be planned around future demand rather than repeatedly expanded as each new group of EVs arrives.
The result is a transition plan designed around operational performance and financial return, rather than an EV target applied uniformly across the fleet.

How we develop your fleet electrification strategy
A practical fleet electrification strategy combines operational analysis, vehicle suitability, charging requirements and financial modelling into one phased plan. The process is structured around four stages.
Stage 1 - Fleet operational analysis
We analyse telematics and operational data to understand mileage, utilisation, routes, payloads and vehicle replacement cycles. This establishes how the fleet currently operates and highlights where changes to vehicle allocation or utilisation could strengthen the case for electrification.
Stage 2 - Fleet optimisation and EV suitability
Vehicles and duty cycles are assessed to identify where EVs can operate reliably today. We also explore whether route allocation, vehicle utilisation or workload distribution could bring additional vehicles into scope and improve the return on investment.
Stage 3 - Charging infrastructure planning
Charging requirements are developed around the fleet transition plan, covering depot, workplace and home charging where relevant. Infrastructure capacity is considered against likely mid-term fleet needs so that the charging strategy can scale as more vehicles transition.
Stage 4 - Phased roadmap & financial modelling
The final stage brings the analysis together into a phased electrification roadmap aligned with vehicle replacement cycles and infrastructure requirements. TCO modelling and ownership options are assessed to support the financial case and prioritise the strongest investment opportunities.
Built for mid-sized commercial fleets
We support organisations operating mid-sized commercial fleets, where electrification decisions involve significant operational and financial considerations.
This typically includes organisations with:
-
Fleets of 40–400 vehicles
-
Delivery, service, local authority, or field operations
-
Sustainability or net-zero commitments
Organisations at an earlier stage of planning can also benefit from understanding how suitable their current fleet is for electrification and the steps they could take to improve feasibility.
Fleet experience behind the strategy
Green Steps combines fleet operations, transport decarbonisation and charging infrastructure expertise to develop electrification strategies that work in practice.
Our approach brings together operational fleet analysis, vehicle transition planning, infrastructure assessment and financial modelling. Where projects require more detailed charging or electrical infrastructure input, we work with specialist partners to ensure vehicle and infrastructure planning are developed together.
This gives clients a joined-up view of the transition, grounded in how the fleet operates day-to-day and the practical requirements needed to support electrification over time.
