One Fleet solves today's fleet decisions. This is where we explore tomorrow's transport. Every concept states the question, what stops it happening, and what would have to change. These concepts are not current One Fleet product capabilities.
The 2050 Garage
Engineering concepts, not fantasy
QV-1
Research
Long-range panel van
Payload
1000 kg
Range
500 miles
Current technology cannot yet achieve this affordably.
Needed breakthrough: Battery science
QV-2
Research
Modular repairable delivery vehicle
Payload
800 kg
Range
180 miles
Buildable today, but no manufacturer sells it.
Needed breakthrough: Standardised panels and open repair rights
QV-3
Research
Solar-assisted urban van
Payload
600 kg
Range
140 miles plus 8 solar miles a day
Marginal gains only at UK latitudes.
Needed breakthrough: Cell efficiency and body-integrated PV
QH-1
Research
Regional e-HGV
Payload
18 t gross
Range
300 miles
Charging power, not the truck, is the limit.
Needed breakthrough: Megawatt charging standards
Permanent exhibit
The vehicles we wish existed
Not because One Fleet will manufacture them. Because someone eventually will.
500-mile, 1-tonne electric van
Why it matters
It would remove the last honest objection to electrifying regional delivery.
What prevents it today
Battery mass takes the payload the job was booked for.
Breakthroughs needed
Energy density, weight reduction, thermal management.
What a future authorised pilot could test
One Fleet is designed to measure real energy use per tonne, per degree, per gradient.
Self-diagnosing battery pack
Why it matters
Operators could plan around honest degradation instead of guessing.
What prevents it today
Cell-level data stays locked inside the manufacturer's stack.
Breakthroughs needed
Open battery passports and on-pack diagnostics.
What a future authorised pilot could test
One Fleet's battery passports already narrate behaviour from journey outcomes.
Modular repairable delivery vehicle
Why it matters
A damaged corner should not write off a five-year-old van.
What prevents it today
Bonded structures and closed parts supply.
Breakthroughs needed
Standardised modules and repair rights.
What a future authorised pilot could test
One Fleet is designed to record where and how vehicles are actually damaged and downtime follows.
Solar-assisted urban van
Why it matters
Urban rounds are short, slow and often parked in daylight.
What prevents it today
Panel efficiency versus roof area at UK latitudes.
Breakthroughs needed
Body-integrated photovoltaics.
What a future authorised pilot could test
One Fleet knows dwell time and parking duration at every drop.
Zero-waste delivery body
Why it matters
Packaging leaves the depot and never comes back.
What prevents it today
No return logistics, no reusable container standard.
Breakthroughs needed
Reusable container systems and reverse routing.
What a future authorised pilot could test
One Fleet already plans empty returns as a journey type.
Climate-controlled horticulture vehicle
Why it matters
Live plants and produce are lost to heat in transit.
What prevents it today
Refrigeration draws from the traction battery.
Breakthroughs needed
Efficient cooling and phase-change storage.
What a future authorised pilot could test
One Fleet models auxiliary load against outside temperature.
One Fleet is not simply route planning. It is the beginning of a knowledge system that helps shape the future of commercial transport.
