Explore the Benefits of Corporate Fleet Electrification

Decreased fuel and maintenance costs and tax incentives are making it more affordable than ever to integrate electric vehicles into corporate fleets. Our ecosystem of national partners brings together the best in infrastructure and technology to present a suite of services that will help manage your EV fleet from acquisition to disposition.

If you’re considering fleet electrification, our fleet experts will work with you to provide a custom EV adoption plan best suited to meet your business goals and objectives. They will guide you through every step of the process — from financing and infrastructure to selecting the right vehicles and developing a pilot program.

As our partner, you will also have access to our ClearCharge™ family of services, offering end-to-end solutions for employee home charger installations, workplace and depot charging stations, and cross-network public charging access.

Benefits of corporate fleet electrification include:

  • Meet Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) Goals
  • Eliminate the Sound and Pollution Associated with Vehicle Idling
  • Experience Less Downtime and Reduced Maintenance Costs
  • Provide an Overall Lower Total Cost of Ownership

Corporate Fleet Telematics & Technology Software

Gathering measurable, actionable data about your fleet is a key aspect of effective fleet management, which is why we offer the latest in telematics devices, GPS tracking, and connected vehicle technology.

By monitoring trip data, vehicle systems information, and driver behavior, you identify key areas of improvement to drive cost savings and improve safety. Some companies have even seen a reduction in their insurance premiums.

TotalConnect, our connected vehicle technology, can provide deep visibility into your fleet data without the need for a plug-in device. Multiple sources of connected vehicle data and telematics device data are seamlessly consolidated into a single dashboard, enabling you to save processing time by only needing to use a single platform — no aftermarket devices required.

Control Spending and Simplify Maintenance

Whether you are looking to control costs, reduce administrative burdens, minimize downtime, or eliminate unpredictable expenses, our fleet maintenance management programs can help.

We provide programs for all vehicles and trucks, from Class 1 to Class 8, as well as non-vehicle equipment and electric vehicles. Features and benefits include:

  • Nationwide Network of 40,000+ Preferred Vendors
  • Roadside Assistance Program
  • Centralized Control
  • Reduced Operational Costs
  • Highest Level of Safety
  • Enhanced Compliance with Environmental Regulations, Including the Department of Transportation and State Emissions Inspections

“With our open-ended lease, we were able to reinvest in our business, while paying lower monthly payments. We’re excited to continue to grow our fleet and hope to work with Merchants again in the future.”
