Description
Welcome to Plugged In, the podcast where fleet transformation gets real. Powered by éXō by ZeroMission, we explore the fast-evolving world of low and no emission transport. From battery electric to hydrogen, biofuels to blended fleets, to the demands of ESG regulations. We dive into how organisations are navigating the shift to sustainable mobility.
Each episode brings you insights from frontline fleet managers, tech experts, policy shapers, and innovators on how they’re planning, adapting, and succeeding with mixed-fuel strategies. Whether you're managing a national fleet or just starting your zero-emission journey, Plugged In delivers the practical tips, real-world stories, and bold ideas you need to stay ahead.
Smarter fleets. Cleaner air. One conversation at a time
