WHAT WE DO

The Smarter Way to Electrify your Fleet

Our aim is to rid our roads of traditional combustion engines, replacing them with cleaner electric systems to improve air quality for all. Using a range of British engineering talent, we have researched, developed and brought to life a process of converting legacy diesel buses to electric.

In order to meet clean air targets, retrofit conversions offer an alternative to new vehicle production to accelerate the transition to zero emissions.

COMPLEX PROCESS

How It Works

In short, we strip out the diesel engine and replace it with an electric one. In reality, this is a complex process, bespoke-designed for each vehicle model, which considers the requirements of the engine, transmission, steering, braking, electrical and other auxiliary systems and even the aesthetics and functionality within the driver’s cab and the passenger area. The dashboard (human machine interface) is also refreshed with advanced, modern technology.

Vehicle chassis and body modifications are kept to a minimum since each retrofit is purposefully engineered to fit the former diesel engine space. As an option, an internal and/or external refurbishment can also be included to modernise the bus.

Effectively, we breathe new life into five to 10 year old buses, making them cleaner and quieter for society, more comfortable for passengers, and more valuable assets for fleet owners.

LEGACY BUS CONVERSIONS

The Bigger Picture

By taking advantage of our unique conversion process, as many as five legacy buses can be converted for the same cost as purchasing one new electric bus. What’s more, Government funding for new EV buses may be used for legacy bus conversions, making the economics even more attractive.

In addition, we have established strong relationships with a range of partners to equip us to advise on the wider considerations of transitioning to an electric fleet. We have developed knowledge and innovative financing models for batteries and charging infrastructure, for example, to enable us to support you through every step of your electrification journey.
