Our Story
Zero Emissions | Zero Headaches
Our mission is to decarbonize your fleet
FleetZero was founded to address the top roadblocks fleet-minded owners face when transitioning to low carbon transportation:
- Decarbonizing vehicles is costly, complicated and time consuming
- Charging and refuelling infrastructure is not scalable
- Innovation and financing solutions for the transition are detached from actual needs
- Solution providers offer one-size-fits-all packages
- Advisory providers step away, leaving fleet owners to navigate the transition on their own
FleetZero is the fleet-minded roadmap to simplifying the transition. We provide custom, turn key solutions for fleet and facility owners as well as other key transition users. By leveraging our global fleet and infrastructure expertise, deep ecosystem networks and scalable, AI-enhanced technology solutions, we navigate the entire transition journey within cost, scheduling and duty-cycles expectations. We right-size infrastructure solutions to minimize cost and service disruption. We are experienced in taking you from feasibility to fleet, facility and infrastructure disposition across battery, hydrogen, renewable natural gas and renewable diesel transportation solutions.
Our vision and what can we do to help your business
Our History
The foundation for FleetZero dates back 15 years when its founder, Naeem Farooqi, pioneered global advisory solutions and award-winning technologies related to fleet, zero emission mobility, and facility and infrastructure cost and process management. Thousands of fleet vehicles later, FleetZero came into being, serving as a global solution grounded in the realities of today’s transportation needs, evidence-based innovation and environmental stewardship.
Our Pit-Crew Mentality
Everything that we do is tied to our pit-crew mentality:
- Fleet-First
- Solution-Driven
- Customer-Focused
- Innovation-Minded
- Sustainability-Grounded
We work with our team members and global partners to uphold these principles in everything that we do.
Our Founder
Naeem is a globally recognized champion of zero emission mobility and asset management with a proven track record of delivering. Naeem focuses on solving challenges and delivering roadmaps for fleet electrification and implementation pathways across infrastructure, facility, maintenance and training. He has created and led global teams at several large publicly traded engineering and design firms, specifically focused on creating centres of excellence in support of zero-emission mobility, including fleet electrification, asset management, economic analysis, and charging and fueling infrastructure for both electric and hydrogen vehicle adoption. Naeem has delivered across all corners of the globe and regularly speaks about zero-emission mobility as a global citizen in this transition to net-zero. He advised governments, public transit agencies, private fleet owners and financial institutions on our collective journey to reach net-zero. Recently at COP26, Naeem hosted multiple sessions during transport day, contributing and facilitating this very important conversation on the future of our industry.
Recognizing the need to develop a turn key solution to address the roadblocks to transport decarbonization, Naeem founded FleetZero.
Naeem in his personal time gives back through Humanity First Shelter Bus, the first re-purposed bus to serve the homeless population of Toronto in Canada. He holds a Bachelors of Business Administration in marketing and finance, Master of Science in Planning and is completing a PhD in mechanical and industrial engineering. He has won numerous awards for his work, including Mass Transit’s Top 40 Under 40, Clean50’s Emerging Leader Award, SCL’s President’s Award and most recently Top 30 Business Leaders in Technology.
As more countries set ambitious decarbonization targets, we are seeing an increase in interest from fleet managers to review their options to transition their transport fleets to electric vehicles.
