Unlocking Flexibility Revenue from Fleet Electrification

Partnership combines smart charging technology with grid services to create new revenue streams while accelerating depot electrification

Unlocking the Hidden Value of Fleet Electrification ⚡

We’re very excited to announce our partnership with Welch Group, a leading UK logistics operator, to bring next-generation smart charging and energy flexibility to the freight and logistics sector.

This collaboration turns Welch Group’s depots into active participants in the GB energy system, turning operational downtime into a commercial opportunity.

Using Optimo’s intelligent energy management platform, Welch Group will:
🔹 Coordinate smart charging, and onsite solar to cut energy costs
🔹 Earn new revenue by providing flexibility services to the grid
🔹 Scale electrification without expensive grid upgrades
🔹 Always ensure vehicles are ready to roll when operations demand it

This is more than just an EV charging project; it’s proof that fleet electrification can be both operationally reliable and financially rewarding.

Every parked eHGV, bus, or delivery van represents a dormant energy asset waiting to be unlocked. With the right technology, that downtime becomes value time - reducing costs, supporting the grid, and providing energy resilience.

At Optimo, we believe the fleet operators that treat their vehicles as energy resources, not just transport assets, will lead the next decade of clean logistics. Fleet electrification doesn’t just have to cost you money. It can make you money.

Let’s turn charging into opportunity. 🚚⚡
