Dynamon’s ZERO 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. ZERO identified optimal EV models, charging infrastructure needs, and efficient charging patterns, providing TfL with actionable insights and recommendations. As TfL’s support fleet operates across a diverse network, the 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:
-
Green vehicles: 50% of TfL’s fleet recommended as suitable for immediate electrification with infrastructure at key locations, requiring no schedule or route changes.
-
Amber and Red vehicles: The remaining 50% either needs minor adjustments to be electrified (marked as amber) or additional charging solutions, which will require further assessment by TfL (marked as red).
Efficient planning for fleet-specific charging infrastructure was critical to ensuring cost-effective and operationally feasible electrification of TfL’s support fleet. Unlike public charging points, this 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
By leveraging ZERO’s advanced analytics, Dynamon provided TfL with comprehensive insights that delivers efficiencies and significant potential cost savings, along with a smooth transition of its fleet to electric vehicles.
Out of the 356 sites analysed for TfL’s support fleet, 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%, with charger sharing strategies improving charger utilisation by 35%. If implemented according to the proposal, the fleet’s reliance on public charging could be reduced by 25%.
Angus Webb, CEO of Dynamon, commented, “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.”
