    Sep 22 2025

    Send us a text

    What happens when the world takes a break from cars? On this episode, ZeroMission explores the significance of World Car-Free Day, and why it’s more than just a symbolic gesture.

    From the rise of electric fleets to the promise of shared e-mobility hubs and data-driven fleet intelligence, Brenda dives into how EVs fit into a bigger mobility shift, one that’s about cleaner air, healthier cities, and rethinking the role of transport in our daily lives.

    Why this matters: It’s not just about swapping petrol cars for EVs, it’s about redesigning mobility for a net-zero future.

    In this episode, we dive into Wrightbus’s game-changing announcement the launch of their first repowered 19-tonne twin-axle DAF truck.

    The cost of new zero-emission trucks is out of reach for many operators, Wrightbus has delivered a solution that could transform the freight sector:


    • Less than half the price of a new EV truck
    • Built with 90% shared parts from their proven BEV bus platform
    • Perfect for urban delivery duty cycles
    • Creating 160+ new jobs as production ramps up

    We explore what this means for fleet operators, the wider push for decarbonisation, and why repowering may be the key to unlocking affordable, scalable zero-emission logistics.

    Tune in to hear how Wrightbus is reshaping the industry – and what it tells us about the future of clean transport.

  • Supermarkets Are Becoming Fleet Charging Hubs. Here’s Why That’s Great News
    Sep 19 2025

    Send us a text

    UK supermarkets have quietly become one of the biggest forces in EV adoption, adding over 1,000 new charge points in just 18 months, more than half of them rapid or ultra-rapid. But what does this mean for fleets?

    In this episode, we break down why supermarkets may hold the key to faster, smarter fleet electrification. We explore:

    • How supermarket chargers reduce downtime and range anxiety for drivers
    • Why retailers like Aldi, Tesco, and Sainsbury’s are investing heavily in high-power charging
    • The opportunities for fleets to partner with supermarkets on shared charging
    • Real-world examples of fleets already using supermarket networks to boost efficiency

    From groceries to gigawatts, supermarkets are reshaping the EV landscape, and your fleet strategy could be next.

    Tune in to discover how to plug your fleet into this growing ecosystem.

  • Got idle EV chargers at your depot? You’re sitting on a goldmine
    Sep 11 2025

    Send us a text

    In this episode we dive into one of the most overlooked assets in the EV transition: idle depot chargers.

    First Bus has started monetising theirs by opening access to other fleets during off-peak hours, and it’s working. With support from the DfT and no disruption to their own operations, they’re proving that shared infrastructure is the future of smart fleet management.

    Join us as we explore:

    • Why idle chargers are a missed revenue opportunity
    • How depot sharing can be done safely and intelligently
    • What funding is available to support this model
    • How ZeroMission is helping fleets operationalise it fast

    If you’re a fleet operator, depot manager, or transport planner with underused EV infrastructure, this episode is your blueprint.

    Tune in now and discover how to make your depot chargers work harder and earn more.
