The KleanDrive identity will evolve and expand bus repowering technology across the transportation industry, including, but not limited to, current and future light commercial vehicles, heavy-duty vehicles, and marine vessels.

“The launch of KleanDrive is a natural evolution of our business and innovative technology, reflecting our forward-thinking approach and our commitment to explore new opportunities that extend beyond the bus industry” said Joe Tighe, CEO of KleanDrive. “This is the next step on our journey where our primary goal remains unwavering: to accelerate the transition to zero-emission vehicles for the betterment of our planet and all its inhabitants. Our mission is transforming transport and with our innovative repowering technology offering a quick, cost-effective and sustainable shift to zero-emission, KleanDrive is ideally positioned to be the go-to solution provider in response to the urgent need to decarbonise across challenging and high-impact sectors.”

KleanDrive's repowering technology has transformed heavy polluting diesel buses and will continue to do so in this mission, operating under the  KleanBus arm of the business. However, it will now also enable clients from all transport applications to replace diesel engines with its advanced 'ePowertrain Module' solution for a fully electric powertrain that represents the quickest and most cost-effective path to a zero-emission fleet. Its technology is created from locally-sourced components, where feasible, tailored to meet the unique needs of each client’s application and is manufactured to the highest OEM quality industry standards.

With an efficient upcycling and testing process after the development of an initial prototype, KleanDrive's solution aims to minimise disruptions and reduce operating costs to a fraction of those associated with buying and building brand new electric vehicles. This will make it an ideal choice for fleet operators seeking a swift and sustainable transition from diesel to electric, all without prohibitive costs.
