The future is electric vehicles
Transition your business to an electric fleet for a more cost-effective and sustainable future.
We are leading the charge to electric as one of the UK’s largest fleet management providers.
Whether you are already on the road to electric vehicles, or just starting to think about your journey, we can manage all your electric fleet management needs in one convenient service.
At Rivus, we recognise you might need help understanding when to transition your fleet to electric, and which options are best for your business. Whether you need a fully electric fleet, or a blend of different powertrains and vehicle types, we will help you with our award-winning fleet management solution.
Our innovative Electric Vehicles as a Service (EVaaS) will help you on your journey.
With our technology-led EVaaS solution, we start by modelling your total cost of ownership for electric vehicles, so there are no hidden surprises waiting for you. Then we work with you every step of your journey, from sourcing the right vehicles for your business, to acquisition and funding, real-time fleet management data, services, maintenance and repair, right through to disposal at the end of your fleet lifecycle.
Reduce your emissions
There is no doubt that transitioning your fleet to electric will reduce your organisation's carbon footprint. Total CO2 emissions are considerably lower than petrol and diesel vehicles. Choosing an electric vehicle with low emissions will also result in reduced running costs as road tax and company car tax rates are all linked to CO2 emissions.
Keep your business moving
With the introduction of Clean Air and Ultra Low Emission Zones in many UK locations already underway, electric vehicles will ensure you can still access these locations easily and without extra cost to your business. You'll also be ahead of the curve with meeting UK Government deadlines to ban the sale of new petrol and diesel vehicles by 2030.
Maximise your range
The driving range of electric vehicles and public charging infrastructure available in the UK is improving rapidly. The latest generations of EVs now have a range of 120-250+ miles on a single charge, meaning electric is becoming much more suitable for the daily needs of most drivers.
Improved vehicle availability
There are now more than 130 full or part-electric vehicles from a range of manufacturers available to buy or lease in the UK. Whilst the current choice of electric LCVs may be more limited than cars, manufacturers are investing heavily in electric, with most popular brands planning to have electric in their range in the next few years.
Reduce your costs
The average cost of acquisition for an EV may seem high when compared to a petrol or diesel equivalent, but electric vehicles offer huge savings over the vehicle lifecycle when driven for business use. This is because the cost of charging an EV is far lower than the price of traditional fuels. The service, maintenance and repair costs are lower compared to an internal combustion engine.
Lower your taxes
Current Government incentives offer a great reason to go electric. For electric company cars registered on or since 6th April 2021, Benefit in Kind (BiK) tax is just 1% on fully electric cars in the 2021/22 tax year. There are also significant savings to be made on road tax, Ultra Low Emission Zone (ULEZ) and congestion charges too.
We make your journey to Electric as easy as possible.
Take a look at how our innovative Electric Vehicles as a Service will keep your business moving to a cleaner, greener future.
Consultancy and planning
We make your journey to EV as smooth as possible. We will guide you on which vehicles in your fleet can transition to electric, the best vehicles that will meet your operational requirements, and what your real Total Cost of Ownership will be. We'll even develop a roadmap with you that guarantees a hassle-free deployment of EVs to your drivers.
Test and Conversion
We know there can be a big difference between what manufacturers say their EVs can do, and the actual range you'll get based on how your specific fleet operates. We get that range anxiety is a real thing. We have tested most e-LCVs across a range of driving conditions and payloads so we can ensure you make informed decisions. Add to that our engineering team's experience in designing and building EVs for commercial use, and you can be confident you'll get electric vehicles that are right for your business.
Vehicle Procurement
Whether you already know that you want to purchase your EVs outright or are wondering whether leasing or renting might be right for you, we will help you decide on the best funding route for your business. We will steer you through the entire vehicle acquisition, design and build process, ensuring you take advantage of any available Government EV funding or grants along the way.
Charging Infrastructure
Whether you need to access a vehicle charging infrastructure at home, in work, on the public network or a blend across all methods, we will help you understand your requirements and provide you with all the data and reporting to capture your true cost of charging, as well as options to re-imburse your drivers.
Electric Fleet Trials
Unsure about how an electric vehicle could be used within your fleet? We can provide you with a range of commercial EVs to evaluate and test before you make the switch. Our innovative use of data and technology means you can understand all the performance metrics relevant to your business before you commit to the switch.
In-Life Services
Whether you want to manage your fleet admin in-house or would prefer to hand it all over to us, we can help with managing your EV administration from MID and P11D reporting, fines, and driver risk management, to service bookings for all your service, maintenance, and repair needs.
Service Maintenance & Repair
We have one of the largest garage networks in the UK, with 56 in-house workshops and access to over 500 Rivus Approved garages nationally. All our garages have specialist EV technicians on site, and are equipped with the necessary tools, charging and safety equipment to take care of all your EV servicing, maintenance, and repair needs.
Driver Engagement & Training
We know it can seem daunting to any driver when they are handed the keys to a new vehicle, especially if they are not used to the differences in driving an electric vehicle, compared to a diesel or petrol one. That's why we have developed a Driver Engagement package that starts before they even receive their new electric vehicle. Our comprehensive skills and knowledge training ensures swapping to an EV is easy and safe for your employees.
Performance Analytics
Through our innovative use of technology, we can collect vehicle performance data, interrogate, and interpret it to produce meaningful dashboards and reports that focus on your job allocations, driver performance, charging strategies and more. This means you get rich insights into how EVs are performing specific to your business and fleet.
Vehicle Lifecycle Management
As your vehicle approaches the end of your fleet lifecycle, we can manage the disposal and replacement process for your EVs. Whether you own the asset or have leased it with Rivus, we will take care of everything for you.
