Tipperary tech start-up set to revolutionise the world of electric vehicle fleet management for commercial vehicles.
Irish tech business ZeroMission has raised $3m in a round co-led by Delta Partners and Greencode with participation from Vireo Ventures and angel investors.
The business was founded in 2022 by Leah O’Dwyer and Kevin Christopher who bring a combined 30 years’ experience in the electric vehicle (EV) space with global companies including ChargePoint, Siemens and ABM.
“Our fleet operator clients use ZeroMission as a single platform wherever they are on the journey to transition to electric vehicles”
ZeroMission’s vision is to accelerate zero-emission vehicle adoption with smart and practical software solutions.
Fleet decarbonization is at the core of emission reduction strategies, and commercial fleet operators are facing regulatory and commercial pressure to transition quickly to EVs.
Since its inception ZeroMission has been at the forefront of fleet electrification through development of a fully integrated software platform, designed to ensure commercial and industrial fleets can efficiently deploy and manage EVs at scale.
Driving the commercial future of electric vehicles
CEO and founder Leah O’Dwyer explained that fleet decarbonisation is at the core of emission reduction strategies, and commercial fleet operators are facing regulatory and commercial pressure to transition quickly to EV’s.
She said that since its inception ZeroMission has been at the forefront of fleet electrification through development of a fully integrated software platform, designed to ensure commercial and industrial fleets can efficiently deploy and manage EV’s at scale.
“Our fleet operator clients use ZeroMission as a single platform wherever they are on the journey to transition to electric vehicles,” O’Dwyer explained.
“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 company is already providing transit bus operators in California and leading US technology companies operating electric vehicles for employee commuter services with the tools they need.
“The ZeroMission team are building the most comprehensive and integrated EV operating system for commercial fleets, based on true industry insights and access,” said Amy Neale, general partner at Delta Partners.
“At Delta, we’re thrilled to be going on this journey with them, tackling an immediate and urgent industry need.”
The ZeroMission platform provides single sign-on, real-time, on-the-ground visibility into vehicles, charging stations and scheduling systems, optimizes energy usage and costs, and streamlines daily operations for mission success using Electric Vehicles.
With this new investment, the company has plans to enhance product development as well as expand its commercial reach.
“We are impressed by the deep industry expertise of the team and the innovative approach of ZeroMission,” said Terhi Vapola, managing partner and co-founder of Greencode Ventures.
“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.”
