The most efficient fleets don’t rely on a single vehicle type. Multi-modal strategies combine vans, cars, EVs, and even cargo bikes to match the right transport mode to each task, reducing costs and improving flexibility.

Components of a Multi-Modal Fleet

  • Right Vehicle for Each Job: Use small vans for urban deliveries, larger vans for bulk routes, and cars for client visits.
  • Mix of Fuel Types: Combine diesel, petrol, electric, and hybrid vehicles based on route profiles and charging infrastructure.
  • Alternative Transport: Consider cargo bikes or electric scooters for congested city centres.
  • Flexible Capacity: Use short-term leasing to add seasonal capacity without permanent commitments.

Zolt works with clients to design mixed fleets that optimize for cost, emissions, and operational flexibility across diverse UK environments.

Benefits of Multi-Modal Thinking

Fleets that embrace multi-modal strategies typically achieve 15-20% lower operating costs and better service delivery by matching transport mode to task requirements rather than forcing one vehicle type everywhere.

“Our multi-modal approach cut city delivery costs by 25% and improved our sustainability metrics.”
— Anna Patel, Head of Logistics
