Leading the Charge in Corporate Sustainability & Brand Reputation
Financial performance still matters – but long-term value now also depends on visible, credible sustainability leadership. Electrifying your fleet is more than an operational upgrade; it’s a public declaration of your company’s values and future vision. Moving to a Rightech fleet helps you meet stakeholder expectations, strengthen brand equity, and build a durable competitive edge.
Meet – and Exceed – ESG Expectations
- Investor & partner ready: Strong ESG performance is now a prerequisite for capital access, major partnerships, and procurement.
- Direct environmental impact: Transport is the UK’s largest emitting sector (≈29% of national GHGs). HGVs alone account for a significant share. Transitioning RT75, RB6 and RB9 vehicles to zero tailpipe emissions cuts CO₂ immediately and eliminates NOx and PM2.5 at the point of use – improving air quality where you operate.
- Transparent proof: Fleet emissions are measurable and reportable, making progress easy to demonstrate in ESG disclosures.
Stay Ahead of Regulation
The UK has a clear, binding pathway to decarbonise road transport: an end to sales of new non-zero-emission LCVs and ≤26-tonne HGVs by 2035, and all new HGVs by 2040, alongside the ZEV mandate with escalating OEM targets. Electrifying now places your business ahead of the curve, reduces compliance risk, and protects access to low-emission zones.
Build a Future-Ready Brand
Your vehicles are moving billboards. A clean, quiet electric fleet signals innovation and responsibility:
- Customer trust & loyalty: Demonstrable action on sustainability strengthens preference and procurement scores.
- Community goodwill: Lower noise and zero tailpipe emissions improve local quality of life.
- Employer brand: Modern vehicles with better driving conditions attract and retain talent.
Elevate the Driver Experience
Electric drivetrains deliver quieter cabins, less vibration, and instant torque for smoother acceleration – ideal for stop-start city routes. With simpler operation (no clutch/complex gearbox), drivers experience less fatigue and stress, boosting morale, safety, and retention.
Proven in the UK: Pioneers to Learn From
- UPS, London: Faced with grid limits at a central depot, UPS combined active network management with on-site battery storage to intelligently schedule charging – scaling from 65 to 170 EVs without costly reinforcement.
- First Bus, Glasgow: Built the UK’s largest fast-charging bus depot (80 dual-outlet 150 kW chargers). Charges the fleet overnight and sells daytime capacity to third parties – maximising utilisation and unlocking new revenue.
- ZEHID Demonstrators: The UK’s £200m programme (e.g., Electric Freightway) is deploying ~140 heavy eHGVs and associated depot/motorway charging, generating real-world data to de-risk adoption for the wider industry.
