At ZeroMission, we’re proud to champion every organisation taking practical steps toward a cleaner, smarter, and more sustainable transport future. The latest move by Transport UK Group, introducing six new Dacia Spring zero emission (ZE) electric “ferry” vehicles at Beddington Garage, is a brilliant example of what fleet modernisation in action looks like.

Replacing diesel with electric isn’t just a symbolic change; it’s a measurable win for emissions, air quality, and operational efficiency. As Fleet and Facilities Director Paul H. shared, this transition is “another innovative and environmentally conscious investment” that aligns perfectly with the company’s sustainability ambitions.

From project management to rollout, the initiative embodies the collaboration that drives successful fleet decarbonisation. Ancillary Vehicle Services Co-ordinator Andrew Moate highlighted how “working with the local engineering and operating teams, plus Renault UK, we identified the Dacia Spring to be both practical and desirable for ferrying colleagues, providing a cleaner environment for our people and the communities we serve.”

This kind of joined up thinking is exactly what the wider transport industry should take note of. By focusing on operational areas beyond mainline fleets, such as staff transport, Transport UK Group is demonstrating that zero emission strategy doesn’t stop at the depot gates. Every journey matters.

Commercial Business Partner Ian Sutton summed it up best: “This is all part of our commitment to lead the way in sustainable transport, an important first step in enabling our drivers to travel to their changeover points in vehicles that support the Mayor of London’s aspirations for a truly clean city.”

At ZeroMission, we believe these smaller but strategic transitions are the building blocks of large scale fleet transformation. Each electric vehicle added to service is another move toward lower emissions, smarter operations, and a more connected transport ecosystem, the very essence of our FleetOps360° philosophy.

Our message to the industry: take note. Fleet sustainability isn’t a one time project; it’s an evolving commitment. And as Transport UK Group’s example shows, the future of logistics and passenger transport is already here, electric, data driven, and built for a cleaner tomorrow.
