In early 2024, this global leader in hygiene and energy technologies, made a decisive move that distinguished it from the rest of the industry: instead of cautiously testing the waters of electric vehicle adoption, the company plunged into a full-scale transformation. With a fleet of 12,000 vehicles in North America, the organization set its sights on electrifying by 2030, showcasing bold leadership and a clear commitment to sustainability.\r\n\r\n<\/p>\r\n
They launched its electrification journey in California, home to 10% of its fleet, with a bold mandate: transition every driver in the state to an EV by the end of 2025, regardless of home charging access. This aggressive rollout demanded not just logistical precision but a cultural shift across the organization.\r\n\r\n<\/p>\r\n
The fleet, largely made up of service vehicles like heavily upfitted Ford F-150s, posed unique challenges. These trucks carry industrial equipment and require specialized features like liftgates. Partnering closely with Wheels, Ford, and expert upfitters, they engineered a solution successfully integrating liftgates into Ford Lightnings, a solution once deemed unfeasible.\r\n\r\n<\/p>\r\n
To support the transition, nearly 500 home chargers were installed for California-based drivers. For those without home charging capabilities, the company developed flexible solutions like public charging and vehicle reassignment maximizing asset utilization while clearing the path for EV deployment.\r\n\r\n<\/p>\r\n
Recognizing the complexity of the initiative, they appointed a dedicated EV project manager to oversee the rollout, supported by a centralized platform that streamlined data, logistics, and reporting, reducing delays and boosting visibility.<\/p>\r\n
In 2025, the organization expanded its transition outside of California, ordering 500 more EVs destined for 40 additional states, focused on sales vehicles.\r\n\r\n<\/p>\r\n
By late 2025, they had ordered and delivered 1,500 EV and installed 750 home chargers, with 150 more installations in progress.<\/p>\r\n
This initiative not only reduced costs but positioned this client as a sustainability leader, setting an EV adoption benchmark for service fleets. The strategic pause on service vehicle orders and pivot to electrifying sales vehicles in other states reflects a thoughtful, data-driven approach to scaling while maintaining operational momentum.<\/p>\r\n
