S03E08: George Symes: Can Emergency Vehicles Go Electric?

About the episode:

Toby speaks with George Symes, founder of Evaluate Strategy, a consultancy specialising in decarbonising complex fleets. With over 15 years in transport and infrastructure consulting, George shares insights on the challenges and opportunities of electrifying emergency services, rental fleets, and logistics companies. From the UK’s ZEV mandate to fleet telematics, this discussion dives into the future of sustainable mobility.

Guest Name: George Symes

George runs EValuate Strategy Consulting, helping complex fleets to decarbonise. These fleets include emergency services, and shared mobility operators such as car rental, car sharing and e-scooter operators. Typically, they are characterised by unpredictable and “spikey” demand, critical services and a “many-to-one” relationship between the drivers and vehicles. 

George has over 15 years strategy consulting experience in the infrastructure, automotive and mobility industries, with experience across fleet and charging infrastructure in the UK, mainland Europe and Australia. He has diverse experience within new mobility in both advisory and operational roles: with Neuron Mobility (e-scooter and e-bike sharing), Zipcar (car and van sharing) and Avis. 

Prior to EValuate he worked at GrainCorp and KPMG, focused on infrastructure, transport and energy clients.
