Revolv’s Jonathan Harris spoke on a panel with our client, Brink’s, and solution partner, Ford Pro, at the NAFA Institute & Expo, one of North America’s largest fleet management conferences. They discussed overcoming critical challenges Brink’s faced in transitioning their fleet to electric vehicles. Revolv stepped in, providing a comprehensive solution consisting of vehicles, charging infrastructure, incentives, implementation, and ongoing operation under a fixed monthly contract that streamlined Brink’s transition.

Brink’s, Revolv and Ford are working together to scale their initial pilot of 6 vehicles to a comprehensive deployment of 31 zero-emission armored Ford E-Transit vans across multiple California locations in 2025. Leveraging Revolv’s expertise throughout the design, delivery, and implementation phases, the projects are expected to achieve commercial operation within just 12 months, even with a required service upgrade at one of the sites. This partnership is projected to result in significant financial savings, including approximately $800,000 in fuel costs. Read more about this successful collaboration in FleetOwner’s article.
