Farmdrop cuts energy use of EV fleet with telematics

Ethical grocer Farmdrop, which runs an electric fleet of over 30 Nissan and Renault vehicles, has seen significant improvements in driver behaviour and fuel/energy use thanks to LEVL and Geotab telematics.

The company’s electric delivery Vanimals has a custom-tailored solution and driver behaviour Add-On, and has been able to monitor electric energy use and fuel high engagement among drivers. In just a few months, Farmdrop has seen a 33 per cent reduction in incidents of poor driving per mile and a 27 per cent reduction in the kW/mile needed for its last mile deliveries in London, Bristol and Bath.

Mike Pearson, head of growth at Farmdrop commented: “LEVL and Geotab has helped us make our fleet safer and more efficient."

Geotab is able to read the information coming out of the vans’ electric power plants and has developed a way to capture this data and generate meaningful reports.

Andrew Pearce Director at LEVL commented: “We are pleased to be working with Farmdrop and providing real telematics data for their fleet of electric vehicles, we work closely with Mike and his team to develop new features, reports and dashboards that are specific to EVs. The results that they have seen so far are fantastic and we are proud to be part of the success of the Farmdrop EV fleet.”
