Commercial fleet optimisation software specialist Dynamon is supporting Transport for London (TfL) in the electrification of its engineering service fleet.
Using Dynamon’s ZERO planning software on more than 900 vehicles, the strategic collaboration has provided the foundations for a data-driven roadmap to support TfL’s planning of a zero-emission fleet.
The software analysed TfL’s vehicle telematics data and operational patterns over a 12 month period, covering 356 locations, including depots, Tube stations, offices, and bus stations.
It identified optimal EV models, charging infrastructure needs, and efficient charging patterns, providing TfL with actionable insights and recommendations.
Analysis was based on creating dedicated fleet-specific charging infrastructure on TfL sites, rather than relying on publicly available chargers. Vehicles were classified into three tranches: vehicles suitable for immediate electrification with infrastructure at key locations, requiring no route changes, and amber and red vehicles where “minor adjustments” or further assessment were needed.
Unlike public charging points, the infrastructure would be solely for fleet use, designed to meet the operational demands of TfL’s vehicles. Dynamon provided TfL with a data-driven plan to support a seamless transition of its fleet to zero-emission vehicles.
ZERO helped TfL identify 36 primary locations for installing dedicated fleet-only charging infrastructure. These identified sites would cover 90% of the fleet’s energy demand, potentially reducing the number of chargers required by 43%.
Angus Webb, CEO of Dynamon, said:
“Our ZERO software is designed to provide actionable insights and cost-effective strategies for fleet electrification, and we are proud to see it making a significant impact for TfL in their journey towards a zero-emission future.
“This partnership demonstrates how data-driven solutions can enable large organisations with complex fleet requirements to transition confidently, efficiently and sustainably to electric vehicles.”
