Building a Mixed Fleet

Building a mixed fleet 鈥� an integration of both electric and traditional vehicles 鈥� provides a pragmatic approach for businesses navigating through the initial stages of fleet electrification. With a mixed fleet, a business can balance innovation, operational reliability, and efficiency. A mixed fleet adoption strategy allows businesses to gradually familiarize themselves with the nuances of EV operation, maintenance, and management without undertaking an all-encompassing shift. It also affords the flexibility to capitalize on the strengths of different vehicle types based on specific operational needs and route characteristics, ensuring that a fleet鈥檚 efficiency isn鈥檛 compromised during the transition period. Adopting a mixed fleet is a risk-mitigated, calculated introduction to electric mobility, offering businesses the latitude to adapt, learn, and potentially transition fully when the infrastructure is fully in place.

Sawatch Labs鈥� best-in-class EV analytics, fleet optimization software, and emissions reporting can help customers determine the right mix of vehicle technologies to meet their operational goals 鈥� from determining how many vehicle swaps to EVs would help save the company money to understanding charging costs to avoid peak demand surcharges. 

鈥淎s the founder and CEO of Sawatch Labs, our small but mighty team has been on a mission since 2017 to unlock the potential of a commercial fleet鈥檚 operational data and transform it into actionable recommendations to optimize fleet operations,鈥� said Matt Helm, Founder & CEO, Sawatch Labs. 鈥淲ith more than one million miles analyzed, our advanced analytics have successfully supported commercial fleets across the U.S. Joining 糖心Vlogpresents an enormous growth opportunity for Sawatch employees and customers, and we鈥檙e proud to be a part of the 糖心Vlogbrand.鈥�
