Fleet analysis

Northgate Vehicle Hire has launched its new Drive to Zero Consultancy, which is dedicated to supporting businesses in planning and implementing their transition to electric vehicles, including both LCVs and cars, empowering companies to make the right decisions for their fleets.

Providing a fully independent and impartial hands-on offering, the Drive to Zero Consultancy can work with fleets and their existing driver data or generate new insights through telematics and tailored driver surveys. It can also identify suitable vehicles and charging strategies, ultimately building a robust case for electric adoption, either partially or in full, based on a company’s unique operational requirements.

A wide choice of e-LCVs for all needs

Vehicle choice plays a major part in fleet electrification and Northgate works closely with existing and emerging manufacturers, continually adding to our industry-leading range of EVs – from micromobility vehicles through to large electric vans – with a wide range that are ready to go. Northgate’s flexible hire packages provide the opportunity to change vehicles as technology evolves without being tied into long-term, inflexible contracts or purchases.

Servicing and maintenance are key when running EVs, so Northgate has invested heavily in its fully equipped workshops and 68-strong branch network, ensuring that trained EV technicians are employed across the country.

Charging Infrastructure provision

Suitable charging infrastructure is a crucial step to ensuring a smooth transition to electric for any business. Northgate works with ChargedEV to ensure that the best possible solution can be found whether a customer needs to consider workplace charging, home charging or even public charging facilities, including solar options.
