Plugged in Fleets Initiative (2012–13)

Findings from our Plugged-in Fleets Initiative (PIFI) have been published in our new report ‘Charging Forward’. We present unique insights from our analysis of twenty organisations across England who took part in PIFI.

The initiative was funded by Transport for London (TfL) and the Department for Transport (DfT) and delivered in partnership with EDF Energy and Route Monkey. Each of the twenty companies received free guidance and a strategic plan for the introduction of plug-in vehicles into their fleets.

Experts from the Energy Saving Trust undertook detailed analysis on each fleet to identify how electric vehicles could best be used by the organisation and what the costs would be. 

The initiative had three key aims:

  • to provide a tailored report for each participating fleet, showing how electric vehicles can fit into and benefit their organisation
  • to offer wider practical advice for all business fleets: our findings and case studies from the initiative will be published in a final report
  • to enable fleet decision makers to purchase and use electric vehicles where they work best.
