CILT(UK) Fleet electrification in Scotland
The purpose of the presentation is to spread the word about CILT membership with a student audience in mind.
Presenters:
George Hobbs, VEV
Overview of the eHGV landscape, total cost of ownership, and how fleet operators can plan electrification pragmatically.Gavin Lancaster, Dynamon
Insight into fleet modelling, route analysis and how data helps identify which vehicles can transition today.Representative from Fleete (TBC)
Perspective on the role of public charging electric truck deployment, charging requirements and operator experience.ScotCharge Consortium member
Gregory Group TBC
The webinar will explore:
Where eHGV technology and total cost of ownership stand today and why adoption is accelerating
Key messages:
Electric trucks are rapidly approaching cost parity with diesel and are already viable for many – mini case study
Charging and grid constraints are often more manageable than perceived through smart planning and shared infrastructure
Early engagement is critical to avoid future bottlenecks in vehicles, power availability and infrastructure
Collaboration between public bodies, private operators and infrastructure providers is essential to accelerate adoption in Scotland
The webinar will be educational and evidence-based, designed to give attendees confidence and clarity, not a sales pitch. By the end of the session, attendees will:
Understand whether eHGVs could already work within their operations
Have clarity on charging options, including depot-based, shared and public infrastructure
Know what practical steps SMEs can take now to begin their electrification journey
The real-world challenges around charging, grid capacity and depot constraints – and how these can be overcome
The role of shared and public charging infrastructure, including the role of the ScotCharge network, in supporting fleet electrification
Top tips on how SMEs and others can start their electrification journey now, without committing to large upfront capital expenditure
