It's time toTransform

TwentyForty connects fleet operators with the technology, evidence, and people they need to make better decisions about what's coming. Electrification, autonomy, digital freight, policy. Built inside a working logistics operation, not a lab.

Where operators meet the technology

The freight industry is being asked to change everything at once. New powertrains, new infrastructure, new regulations, new data systems. Most of the advice comes from people selling something.

TwentyForty exists to close the gap between what's being built and what actually works in an operation. We test, we connect, we share what we find.

Operator Readiness Assessment

Find Your Starting Point

A structured diagnostic of your fleet, operations, data, and infrastructure. Answer a short set of targeted questions and get a tailored report showing where you are today, where the pressure points are likely to emerge, and what is actually worth focusing on next. Built from real operator experience, not theory.

Start the assessment

Jamie is a unique voice.

He's engaging and eloquent when sharing views on net zero—like the best communicators in our industry. But what sets him apart is that he speaks from hands-on experience as a fleet operator, not just another solution provider.

There's a big difference between making a new technology work, and making a logistics operation work with a mix of cutting-edge systems.

Built to Collaborate

TwentyForty exists because no single organisation has the whole answer.

We work inside real operations, with real fleets, real infrastructure, and real constraints. We run pilots, trials, and live projects alongside operators, technology teams, and frontline staff to figure out what actually works.

We bring together people who are usually separated by job titles, contracts, and politics. Operators with developers. Energy specialists with depot managers. Drivers with designers.

Because the future of freight will not be delivered by a roadmap. It will be delivered by people, working through complexity together.

Focus Areas

The areas we work across

Energy

Charging infrastructure, grid connections, depot power planning. The bit between buying an electric truck and being able to run it.

Technology

Telematics, route planning, fleet management. Helping operators cut through vendor claims and find what fits their operation.

Innovation

Running and participating in trials that test new ideas in live environments. If it doesn't work on a real route, it doesn't work.

Sustainability

Transition planning, emissions data, total cost of ownership. Grounded in real duty cycles, not brochure figures.

Operations

The operational detail that gets ignored when everyone's focused on the vehicle. Depot layout, driver readiness, maintenance, scheduling.

Welch's Transport electric truck with team

Operator-backed. Operator-led.

TwentyForty is backed by the Welch Group, a 90-year-old, family-run logistics operator with active transport and warehousing operations across the UK.

This is not an academic exercise or a consultancy construct. It is built inside a working operator environment, with real assets, real customers, and real consequences.

Which is exactly why it exists.
