Gemsery, Briggs Equipment, Dodona Analytics, Geotab and Liberty Charge have formed a partnership aimed at accelerating the transition to electric fleets.

The consortium says it brings together a range of capabilities to create a solution that can support all types of fleet vehicle.

The initial collaboration is currently going through a pilot phase with the group looking to have a proposition in the market by the end of 2022.

The consortium is looking to fleets – both ICE and EV – to join their pilot.

David Savage, vice-president, UK & Ireland, at Geotab, said: “Our recent EVSA study showed that four in 10 vehicles could transition to an EV right now, based on range and performance.

“We’re delighted to bring our knowledge and data insights to the consortium to outline how EV and ICE vehicles can work together to maximise fleet performance.

“The concept of a mixed (ICE and EV) fleet is going to be a reality for many well into another decade.”
