Fleet Electrification Planning · ¥42,500

A transition plan that
fits your fleet's
existing rhythm

A structured engagement for small and mid-sized organisations in Japan considering what a shift to electric light commercial vehicles would mean in practice — paced to your renewal cycles, not ours.

What this engagement delivers

A phased plan you can actually act on

By the end of this engagement, your organisation will have a documented, phased plan covering which vehicles are candidates for early transition, what depot charging would require, and how to bring drivers into the process without disruption.

The plan is written to match your existing renewal schedule — so there's no pressure to move faster than your procurement and operational cycles allow. Documentation accompanies each phase, giving you something concrete to work from at each stage.

5 to 40 vehicles

Suited to small and mid-sized fleets in operation across Japan

Phased approach

Structured around your vehicle renewal cycles, not a fixed external timeline

Phase documentation

Written materials accompany each phase of the plan

Driver familiarisation

Bringing the team along, not just the vehicles

The challenge most organisations face

Electrification looks straightforward until you get into the specifics

Trip and route patterns need mapping before vehicle selection

The range requirements for your specific routes — including seasonal variation and load — determine which electric models are genuine candidates. Generic vehicle spec sheets don't answer this.

Depot charging is a separate project that needs its own planning

Adding charging at your depot involves grid capacity, charge point placement, overnight scheduling, and possibly load management — none of which come with the vehicles.

Transition timing rarely aligns with procurement windows without planning

Replacing vehicles ahead of their natural renewal point costs more than it saves. A phased plan that follows existing cycles is significantly more practical for most organisations.

Drivers notice when transitions aren't handled carefully

Range habits, charging routines, and operational adjustments take time. Organisations that plan for familiarisation see fewer operational disruptions than those that treat it as an afterthought.

Our approach

We map your actual trips before drawing any conclusions

The engagement starts with your existing routes and usage patterns. We look at distances, loads, turnaround times, and depot arrangements — the operational picture as it actually is, not a simplified version of it.

From there, we identify which routes and vehicle categories are strong candidates for early transition and which would be better suited to a later phase. The phasing is built around your procurement schedule, so the plan sits alongside your existing renewal process rather than requiring a separate budget cycle.

Depot charging and driver familiarisation are treated as integral parts of the plan, not separate issues to be dealt with later.

Phase 01

Trip and route mapping

We document your current routes, distances, load patterns, and turnaround times across your fleet's operational area.

Phase 02

Candidate route and vehicle identification

We match routes to electric vehicle categories and identify which transitions are feasible at each renewal point.

Phase 03

Depot charging and familiarisation planning

We build out the infrastructure and driver transition elements of the plan, with documentation for each phase.

Phase 04

Phased plan delivery

The completed plan is reviewed together. Each phase has its own documentation so your team can act on it at the right time.

What the engagement looks like

Working through it together, at your pace

The engagement is structured around your organisation's schedule. Sessions are focused and purposeful — we don't extend the timeline unnecessarily.

01

Operational review session

We sit with your operations or fleet manager and work through current routes, vehicle ages, and depot arrangements. No data preparation needed in advance.

02

Analysis and draft plan

We analyse what we've learned and produce a draft phased plan for your review. You'll see how the phases line up with your renewal schedule before anything is finalised.

03

Collaborative review

We go through the draft together. Adjustments based on operational considerations we may have missed are folded in before the plan is finalised.

04

Final plan and documentation

You receive the completed plan with phase-by-phase documentation. The materials are yours to share with procurement teams, depot managers, or directors as needed.

Investment

¥42,500 for the full engagement

The fee covers the full engagement: operational review, route and vehicle analysis, depot charging planning, driver familiarisation guidance, and the phased written plan with documentation for each stage.

For organisations managing fleets of five to forty vehicles, the plan provides a practical foundation for discussions with procurement, finance, and depot teams — reducing the cost of decisions made without adequate preparation.

What's included

Operational review and route mapping sessions
Candidate route and vehicle category identification
Depot charging infrastructure guidance
Driver familiarisation planning
Phased transition plan aligned to your renewal cycle
Written documentation for each plan phase
Suitable for fleets of 5–40 vehicles across Japanese prefectures
Total investment ¥42,500

What to expect from the plan

A plan written for your organisation, not a template

The phased plan that concludes this engagement is specific to your fleet's routes, vehicle ages, depot configuration, and renewal schedule. It isn't a document you adapt from a generic framework — it reflects the actual operational picture we work through together.

5–40

Vehicle range

Light commercial fleets across Japanese prefectures

Phased

Transition structure

Aligned to your procurement and renewal cycles

Per phase

Written documentation

Usable by procurement, depot, and driver teams

Our commitment

The plan should reflect your situation — if it doesn't, we adjust it

The collaborative review built into this engagement exists precisely to catch anything that doesn't quite fit your operational reality. If, after reviewing the draft, parts of the phasing or the depot guidance don't work for your context, we revise until the plan is genuinely usable.

If you're unsure whether this engagement fits your fleet's size or situation, a short initial conversation at no charge will clarify that quickly. Send a note and we'll respond within two business days.

How to begin

Starting is straightforward

1

Tell us a little about your fleet

Use the contact form or email info@metapointbase.com. A rough sense of fleet size, where your vehicles operate, and what you're thinking about is plenty to start with.

2

We confirm fit and suggest a time to talk

Within two business days we'll let you know whether this engagement matches your situation and propose a time for a no-obligation initial conversation.

3

We agree on timing and start the operational review

Once you're ready, we schedule the operational review session and begin. You don't need to prepare data in advance — we'll work through it together.
