éXō Fleets Insights - Every mile counts
éXō Fleets Insights: Every Mile Counts is the podcast for fleet leaders navigating mixed-fuel, mixed-class, multi-site operations, while balancing cost, performance and sustainability.
Each episode explores the real-world decisions shaping modern fleets, from diesel, EV, HVO, CNG and hydrogen, to infrastructure, data, funding and operations. We break down how better fleet insight drives measurable savings, lowers cost-per-mile, and helps organisations track, manage and achieve CO₂ reduction and sustainability targets with confidence.
Hosted by the éXō Fleets team alongside industry experts, customers and partners, éXō Fleets Insights: Every Mile Counts cuts through complexity to focus on what actually matters: visibility across fuels and sites, performance measurement, emissions reporting and practical actions that deliver both financial and environmental results.
Because when you understand what’s really happening across your fleet, every mile becomes an opportunity, to reduce costs, cut emissions, hit CO₂ targets and move your fleet forward with clarity and control.

Making Waves with the World’s First Electric Amphibious Vehicle
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In this episode of Plugged In, we dive into one of the most exciting breakthroughs in sustainable transport the launch of the world’s first fully electric amphibious passenger vehicle by Seahorse Amphibious Vehicles.
From London’s iconic Lack’s Dock to the rivers of Cape Town, this innovation is redefining what it means to go zero emission, both on land and on water. We explore how ten years of design, testing, and engineering have created a new era of eco-tourism and what it means for the broader future of multi-modal fleet electrification.
Join us as we discuss:
• How Seahorse built the first all-electric “duck” tour vehicle
• The power of innovation in sustainable tourism
• Why data-driven fleet intelligence will drive the next wave of clean transport
Because when road meets river, the future of mobility gets truly electric.

Developed after a decade of rigorous research and design, Seahorse’s new Amphibious Passenger Vehicle (APV) combines cutting-edge electric propulsion with safety compliance under UK Maritime Standards (MSN 1823) and the forthcoming ES-TRIN European regulations.
Capable of carrying 36 passengers and two crew, the vehicle operates for a full day on a single charge, a milestone that reflects how energy efficiency, battery optimisation, and smart system design are now shaping marine and road applications alike.
Production is already scaling at Seahorse’s 25,000 sq. ft. facilities in Slough and Southampton, with up to 24 units expected per year, and that is only the beginning.
Pioneering Spirit, Powered by Purpose
Founded by Graham and Ed Lumley, the father and son duo behind Windsor Duck Tours, Seahorse Amphibious is the only company in the world to design, build, and operate its own fleet of amphibious vehicles.
Their new electric APV follows successful diesel hydraulic models already serving Windsor, Liverpool, and Cape Town, but this launch is a landmark evolution.
“We’re proud to be recognised as pioneers in the design and manufacture of all-electric ducks,” said Graham Lumley, Executive Chairman at Seahorse Amphibious.“This new generation builds on our experience and will drive significant growth in the tourism market for city experiences,” added Managing Director Ed Lumley.
ZeroMission’s Take: The Future of Multi-Modal Decarbonisation
Seahorse’s breakthrough represents the next wave in multi-modal electrification, blending sectors once considered separate: road, marine, and tourism.
This innovation highlights how data-driven fleet management, predictive maintenance, and intelligent charging coordination, the same capabilities central to ZeroMission’s FleetOps360° éxō platform, can support entirely new mobility categories.
Every success story like this reinforces a single message:
If it moves, it can be electrified, and optimised through data intelligence.
The Bottom Line
From city streets to riversides, Seahorse Amphibious Vehicles is redefining what clean transport looks like. It is not just a “duck” making a splash, it is proof that sustainability can be seamless, profitable, and thrilling.
At ZeroMission, we applaud the Seahorse team and partners like Big Bus Tours for pushing the boundaries of what is possible. As fleets everywhere reimagine mobility, this all-electric amphibious innovation reminds us that the future of transport is not one-dimensional. It is dynamic, connected, and unstoppable.
