About Us

Large UK fleets including Tesco, Asda, Virgin Media, South West Water and many more have adopted Lightfoot to improve the safety and efficiency of their drivers, and to support their transition to Electric Vehicles.

Proven to improve fuel consumption by up to 15% and to reduce accidents by up to 40%, Lightfoot is endorsed by all major fleet insurers and adopts a unique approach by positively engaging with drivers both real time in-cab and via a gamification and rewards platform via the app.

Most companies who turn to Lightfoot have had telematics systems for years which provided a wealth of data to managers who are then relied for onward communication and resolution. Companies have realised that this approach is fundamentally broken and the wrong way around. Instead, they look to Lightfoot’s bottom-up approach to engage and reward drivers, empowering those in the driving seat to drive change. They also look to Lightfoot’s underlying telematics platform to ensure they continue to receive everything they’d expect from a market leading telematics solution and more.

Lightfoot is widely recognised as the natural successor to telematics. Lightfoot’s growth is not only due to the unique technology that is proven to transform the driver performance of entire fleets without management intervention, but also due to unique Electric Vehicle capabilities that support customers’ transition to EVs, including:

Comprehensive visibility of EV drivetrain data including Range, SoC, SoH, Charging status, charge history and utilisation – all visible within the telematics portal
Optimised range and safety through in-coach driver coaching optimised for EVs
Conformity of driving behaviour across the fleet which ensures consistency of range across all drivers
Automated Charge Expense Reporting via the driver App (for eg. claiming Home Charge expenses)
Range and SoC via the Driver App

Lightfoot started in 2013

Mark, our founder to this day, was involved with a business that completed hybrid van conversions but ran into trouble with one particular client. They had taken delivery of a fleet of vans with first-in-class hybrid engines, but saw barely any change in efficiency… Something wasn’t adding up.

After tearing the engines apart and analysing every nut and bolt in search of an answer, the team eventually realised that having a clean engine is only part of the solution. The person behind the wheel has as much responsibility for performance and efficiency as what’s beneath the bonnet.

“If a driver is inefficient, their vehicle will be too.”

And so, Lightfoot was born.

We’ve been helping businesses and drivers save fuel and reduce emissions ever since and, today, our technology is used by hundreds of companies across the UK.
