KLEANDRIVE

Who is KleanDrive?
KleanDrive is an innovative B Corporation based in Essex, specializing in the design of electric powertrains to quickly and cost-effectively replace diesel systems in buses and heavy goods vehicles (HGVs). Our mission is to accelerate the transition to clean electric transportation, benefiting the health of our planet and all who live here. By repowering existing diesel vehicles, we reduce costs to roughly one-third of purchasing a new electric vehicle, while also eliminating the environmental impact of manufacturing entirely new 18-tonne vehicles.

What has KleanDrive achieved in 2024?
2024 has been a milestone year for KleanDrive. In September, we delivered our first fully repowered commercial vehicle: a double-decker electric tour bus now operating in Edinburgh. Building on this success, we’re actively working on multiple new vehicle programs to meet market demand and the needs of our partners.

What are KleanDrive’s future plans?
Our vision is to make electrification an irresistible choice for fleet operators in the UK. We aim to continuously lower the cost of converting existing buses and trucks to fully electric platforms by advancing our software, processes, and designs. These efforts not only reduce operating costs but also make a significant contribution to combating climate change. Our mission is clear: deliver safe, effective, and affordable solutions to accelerate the transition to electric fleets.

Why is Essex a great place for business?
Essex has been a pivotal location for developing KleanDrive’s technology. Its proximity to London, home to the UK’s largest fleet of diesel buses, has been instrumental in our growth. The region also boasts a rich automotive talent pool, with expertise from industry leaders like Ford and other local players. Additionally, Essex offers a high quality of life and excellent access to key transport hubs, making it an ideal environment for innovation and business growth.
