EV fleet management software firm secures £2.3m investment

Zero Mission has secured a £2.3 million investment to continue growing and expanding the business.

A fleet management software platform provider for commercial electric vehicles (EVs), the firm was founded in 2022 by Leah O’Dwyer and Kevin Christopher, who have worked with ChargePoint, Siemens and ABM.

Its software platform is designed to ensure commercial fleets can efficiently deploy and manage EVs at scale.

The funding round was co-led by European venture capital companies Delta Partners and Greencode with participation from Vireo Ventures and industry angel investors.

O’Dwyer said: “Our fleet operator clients use Zero Mission as a single platform wherever they are on the journey to transition to electric vehicles.

“While of the majority of existing fleet operators plan to continue electrifying their fleets, we know that more than 80% are curtailed by an absence of integrated systems to manage daily operations and smart tools to plan and transition their fleets.

“These missing parts are what we provide for our customers and today’s announcement will enable us to expand our client base significantly.”

The platform provides single sign-on, real-time, on-the-ground visibility of vehicles, charging stations and scheduling systems, optimising energy usage and costs, and streamlines daily operations.

With this new investment, the company has plans to enhance product development as well as expand its commercial reach.

Terhi Vapola, managing partner and co-founder of Greencode Ventures, said: “We are impressed by the deep industry expertise of the team and the innovative approach of Zero Mission.

“This enables the company to offer an outstanding end-to-end solution in heavy vehicle fleet management, encompassing planning, operation, and reporting, with seamless integration to other fleet stakeholders.”

Amy Neale, general partner at Delta Partners, added: “The Zero Mission team are building the most comprehensive and integrated EV operating system for commercial fleets, based on true industry insights and access.

“At Delta, we’re thrilled to be going on this journey with them, tackling an immediate and urgent industry need.”
