This interview features Adam Moore from Siemens discussing the company’s rapid expansion of its electric vehicle (EV) fleet in the United States.
Over the past year, Siemens grew from roughly 250 EVs to several thousand without disrupting daily operations. The turning point, Adam explains, was shifting from viewing electrification as a vehicle‑buying decision to treating it as an operational transformation: “we stopped looking at electrification as a vehicle decision and started looking at it as an operational decision.” Siemens conducted field studies, spoke with technicians, weighed equipment, and redesigned fleet configurations around real business needs.
Adam outlines four pillars of their scalable blueprint: data‑driven understanding of routes and payloads, operational validation, ecosystem collaboration with OEMs and suppliers, and strong change management. Suppliers must continue expanding vehicle configurations, reducing EV complexity, and sharing best practices.
Siemens now operates more than 8,000 EVs, including light‑duty vans, medium‑duty vehicles, electric pickups, yard spotters, and heavy‑duty units. Looking ahead, Adam sees fleet logistics, workplace mobility, charging infrastructure, and corporate travel merging into a connected ecosystem driven by data, flexibility, and user experience. Mobility will be outcome‑focused, prioritizing efficiency, sustainability, and ease for employees.
