Motiv Electric Trucks has launched the Motiv Premier Partner Network, a collection of companies that can help fleets move toward electrification and assist those already electrified in improving operations.
Motiv Electric Trucks has launched the Motiv Premier Partner Network (MPPN), a carefully vetted commercial fleet resource consisting of industry-leading solution providers available to support fleets at any stage of their journey to net-zero emissions.
Premier Partner offerings and expertise focus on helping fleets minimize charging infrastructure costs, improve operational efficiencies, and take advantage of incentive and financing programs – all of which can reduce the Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) and accelerate the time to a positive Return on Investment (ROI).
Motiv has accompanied fleets through electrification pilot programs, multi-depot deployments, and repeat orders since 2009.
Nearly 6 million miles on real routes and multi-year deployments in a variety of extreme weather conditions has resulted in the company leading the industry in follow-on orders, with 64 percent of vehicles having been delivered to repeat customers.
Motiv’s lessons learned with customers like Purolator, Vestis (formerly Aramark Uniform Services), Cintas, Bimbo Bakeries, and Shasta Linen Supply have guided the development, vetting, and selection of the MPPN’s trusted fleet electrification experts.
“Now more than ever, smart fleets are looking at the entire ecosystem of electrification to reduce total cost of ownership (TCO),” said Scott Griffith, CEO of Motiv Electric Trucks. “At every step in the process of fleet electrification, key decisions can either save or increase costs. Our premier partners are experts in helping fleets avoid costly mistakes in construction, infrastructure development and charging hardware/software selection.”
Griffith said the partners can help unlock incentives, credits, and other financial mechanisms that, combined, reduce the average cost per mile driven, making it comparable with, if not better than, that of diesel or gas trucks.
“This combination helps our fleet customers meet their dual goals of lower carbon and lower costs,” he added.
Offered as an “al a carte” approach to maximizing adoption efficiency, Motive said the benefit of it’s Premier Partner Network is twofold. For fleets just beginning their electrification journey, the Network offers access to experts in all facets of planning and execution. This helps new fleets avoid common pitfalls and costly technology and energy costs.
For fleets moving from an early pilot phase to full-scale fleet-wide electrification, network partners can help further optimize operations (i.e., better route/vehicle planning) and charging demand (optimized charging times, levels), access financing, and unlock new sources of income from incentives, credits, and other financial programs.
“Depending on the size of the fleet and the miles travelled, customers can realize a net positive impact of thousands of dollars per year by making smarter decisions on hardware, utilization and finance, dramatically shortening the time to ROI,” Griffith explained. “We’ve done the hard work of finding and vetting the best and smartest leaders in the industry.”
