HGV & haulage
Rigid and artic fleets on regional, trunking and back-to-base work. We identify which routes suit battery-electric trucks today, and which are waiting on range, charging or price.
FundedScottish HGV operators: up to £15,000 for a fleet plan
Your fleet, off diesel.With a plan that stacks up.
Floamp helps HGV and van operators work out which vehicles can go electric and when, what the depot and grid connection need, and how to pay for it. Independent analysis built on your own telematics, not industry averages.

Electrification decisions built on how your fleet actually runs, not on industry averages.
Floamp is an independent consultancy focused on one thing: helping fleet operators move from diesel to electric without betting the business on guesswork. We start with your telematics, routes and depots, and work out what is viable now, what is viable soon, and what needs to wait.
A vehicle plan is only half an answer. We model the trucks and vans, the depot charging, the grid connection and the funding together, so the plan you take to your board is one you can actually deliver.
Talk to us about your fleetFrom telematics to a transition plan
Five pieces of work, done together, so the vehicles, the chargers, the grid connection and the money all line up.
-
We take your telematics export, whatever system it comes from, and turn it into duty cycles, route profiles and dwell times for every vehicle. That tells us which vehicles can switch to electric on today's technology, and what's standing in the way for the rest.
-
We match your operating requirements to vehicles you can actually buy or lease, not concept trucks, and model the total cost of ownership against diesel over the short, medium and long term, including energy, maintenance, residuals and road-user costs.
-
We size the charging your fleet needs, check it against your site's electrical supply and local grid capacity, and plan the connection application. Smart charging, tariffs and load management are designed in from the start, so energy costs stay under control once the vehicles arrive.
-
We identify the grants you can use, including Transport Scotland's funded fleet analysis, and handle the application where we can. We also compare financing routes such as outright purchase, leasing, and truck- or energy-as-a-service, so capital doesn't become the blocker.
-
We pull everything into a phased plan, vehicle by vehicle and depot by depot, aligned with your replacement cycle. Then we stay involved as needed: supplier and charger procurement, specifications, and reviewing performance once the first electric vehicles are on the road.
Fleet analysis report
A fixed-scope decarbonisation plan for your fleet, delivered in 8–12 weeks. Fully grant-funded for eligible Scottish HGV operators.
Project-based
Scoped pieces of work: a depot charging study, a TCO model, a funding application or a procurement specification.
Ongoing support
A named adviser through the transition, from the first vehicle order to optimising charging costs once the fleet is running.
Different duty cycles, different answers.
We start from yours. Every fleet we work with gets a plan built around how its vehicles are actually used, day to day and season to season.
Vans & last-mile
Delivery, service and trades fleets where daily mileage is predictable. Often the quickest win, provided depot charging, home charging and tariffs are planned properly.
Public sector & council fleets
Refuse, maintenance and mixed fleets with net zero commitments to meet. We help build the evidence base, the depot plan and the procurement case.

Built on your data, not averages
Every recommendation traces back to your own telematics, routes and depots. If the data is messy, that's normal. Finding out what it can and can't tell you is part of the value.
Vehicles, depot and energy together
An electric truck is only as useful as the charger behind it and the grid connection behind that. We plan all three at once, so nothing stalls halfway through.
Independent advice
We don't sell vehicles, chargers or energy, and we have no partnerships that would steer our recommendations. If diesel is still the right answer for a route, we'll say so.
We know the funding landscape
From Transport Scotland's funded fleet analysis to truck-as-a-service contracts, we find the money and handle the paperwork, so your side is data and a couple of conversations.
Common questions
Can our fleet realistically go electric?
For some vehicles, almost certainly yes; for others, not yet. Back-to-base and regional work with predictable daily mileage is often viable today, while long-haul and irregular duties may need to wait for range, charging networks or prices to move. The analysis tells you which is which, vehicle by vehicle, with a realistic timeline for each.
Is the Scottish fleet analysis really free?
For eligible operators, yes. Transport Scotland's SME Fleet Analysis Support Scheme provides up to £15,000 per operator to cover an independent fleet decarbonisation report. We prepare and submit the application and claim the grant on completion, so the grant pays for the work rather than your business. You commit to nothing until the grant offer letter is signed. Applications close on 15 January 2027. See eligibility and full details.
We're not in Scotland. Can you still help?
Yes. The same analysis, covering duty cycles, vehicle options, total cost of ownership, depot charging, grid capacity and funding, is available to fleets anywhere in the UK as a scoped project. We'll also check which grants or funding routes apply to you.
What data do you need from us?
Four things: a telematics export (12 months if you have it, 3 months as a minimum, from any system), a vehicle list with registration, body type, gross weight, age and planned replacement date, depot details such as addresses, overnight parking and existing electrical supply, and some operating context such as key contracts, shift patterns and seasonal peaks. If the data is messy, that's normal. We handle the format.
How much of our time will it take?
Very little. Your side is sharing the data and one or two working sessions with your transport manager. We do the analysis, the modelling and the writing, and review the draft with you before it's finalised. A full fleet analysis typically takes 8–12 weeks.
Who sees our data and the report?
The report is yours. For the Transport Scotland scheme, a copy also goes to Transport Scotland, and it may be shared with research and policy partners. Commercially sensitive detail is not shared with competitors, and routes and depot locations are not published.
Do you sell vehicles or chargers?
No. Floamp is independent. We have no products to sell and no manufacturer or charge point partnerships that would influence our recommendations. Our only interest is giving you a plan that works for your operation.
How do we get started?
Book a 30-minute call or email hello@floamp.com with a line about your fleet: roughly how many vehicles, what they do and where they're based. We'll tell you what we'd look at, whether any funding applies, and what the next step would be. There's no obligation.
Find out which of your vehicles can go electric, and when.
Start with a 30-minute call about your fleet. If you run HGVs from Scotland, we'll check your eligibility for fully funded analysis at the same time.
