From Diesel to Electric: The Critical Shift in Fleet Management
Manage episode 435318637 series 2805813
In this episode of the Climate Confident podcast, I had the pleasure of speaking with Gagan Dhillon, the CEO and co-founder of Synop. Gagan and his team are helping commercial fleets transition to electric vehicles, focusing particularly on school buses and drayage trucks. We delved into the challenges fleet managers face when shifting from diesel to electric, and how Synop’s platform optimises vehicle charging to reduce costs and increase uptime.
One of the standout discussions was around Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G) technology, especially how school buses, with their predictable routes and downtime, are ideal candidates for this emerging technology. Gagan also shared insights on the importance of global regions starting their infrastructure development with electric solutions, bypassing the need for traditional diesel.
As always, the focus was on practical solutions that can drive real change. Whether you’re involved in fleet management, policy-making, or just curious about the future of transport electrification, this episode offers valuable perspectives on the path ahead.
Listen in to learn more about the critical role Synop is playing in accelerating the transition to a more sustainable transportation future.
Discover how technology is reshaping our lives and livelihoods.
