With éXō Fleets, fleets turn insight into measurable savings by transforming operational data into improved performance and a lower total cost to operate. Fleets today are managing more complexity than ever. Mixed fuels. Mixed vehicle classes. Multiple depots. Rising costs. Increasing pressure to decarbonise while still delivering reliable, cost-effective operations. Too often, critical data sits in silos, making it difficult to understand true performance, cost-per-mile, and where inefficiencies are creeping in. éXō Fleets acts as the outer layer and control tower for modern fleet operations. We unify fleet master data across vehicles, fuels, depots, routes and infrastructure, giving operators, finance teams and leadership one clear, shared view of what’s really happening on the ground. Built for mixed-fuel, mixed-class, multi-site fleets, éXō Fleets works with what’s in the yard today and what’s coming next. By bringing operational, energy and cost data together, fleets gain the insight needed to measure performance, understand true cost-per-mile, and make confident day-to-day and long-term decisions. Our customers use éXō Fleets to identify inefficiencies, reduce operating costs, optimise energy and infrastructure investments, and track real savings over time. The result is clearer decisions, better performance, and measurable financial outcomes. At éXō Fleets, customers are at the heart of everything we do. Our role is to remove complexity, bring clarity, and deliver real-world value, helping fleets move forward leaner, smarter and more profitable.

We support and invest in early-stage companies that disrupt the established ways how we generate, manage, and use energy. We believe that we must find new ways how to create connectivity between the physical and digital world in order to build the 21st century infrastructure to support how we live, move and work.
