You were asked to hit net-zero targets and still hit profit targets. But on margins as low as 2%, you cannot swallow the upfront charger costs, pay the standing charges, and watch expensive bays sit idle while your trucks are on the road.
Voltempo turns your idle bays into income by selling spare capacity to the UK’s leading fleets. Your trucks charge first, always. Only your downtime gets sold. The bays that used to cost you start paying you back.
For every Megawatt your depot uses, you can earn between £75,000-£200,000 potential profit per year. For smaller hauliers, this could mean up to £200,000 potential profit a year. For larger fleets, this could mean up to £600,000 potential profit a year.*
Some sell you boxes and walk away. We run a system.
Demand
We route paying customers from eFREIGHT 2030 and Corpay to your depot, with access to 86 of the UK’s top 100 fleets.
Profit
We turn idle bays into £200,000 to £600,000 potential profit per year, that scales with your depot size.**
Energy
We pay 50–100% of your standing charge commitment. We also secure wholesale pricing, better contracts and energy to save 12.5–15%.
Charging
We install up to 1MW blocks of power, grid-connected, serviced and trusted to protect your uptime.
Data
You stay in control from booking to billing, with your fleet always coming first.
The site
Welch Group.
The demand
Spare bay capacity sold to Openreach.
The result
Welch’s trucks always charge first. Bays once idle now generate £100,000-£200,000 potential profit per year.** Clean freight starts paying for itself.
Government grants can cover a serious share of your depot charging costs. In its last round, the Depot Charging Scheme (DCS) offered up to £1,000,000 and up to 70% of eligible infrastructure. A new round is on the way.**
That money is on the table for everyone, your competitors included.
Your winning move is who you spend it with:
Spend it on a weaker setup, and it just softens the upfront cost.
Spend it with Voltempo, and it supports a system that lowers costs now, then sets you up for higher profits when the DCS cost-recovery period ends.
