Powering the future: National Grid transitions to cleaner vehicle technology
Case study: National Grid Distribution
Powering the future: National Grid transitions to cleaner vehicle technology.
National Grid is transforming its service fleet for a cleaner, more electric future. Leading the innovation is Jane Nicholson, Fleet Technical Specialist, who is rethinking onboard power to meet the needs of technicians today and the vehicles of tomorrow.
Rethinking onboard power.
Technicians like Scott Hartland work across the electricity network, often in remote locations where reliable power is essential for tools, laptops and specialist test equipment used on cable networks.
As National Grid moves towards cleaner and electric vehicles, Jane and her team began rethinking the traditional inverter and leisure battery setup.
To find an integrated approach to onboard power that could support both the work being done today and the fleet’s transition towards electric vehicles.

"With teams working in remote areas, reliable power is essential for National Grid Distribution."
Moving beyond traditional inverter systems.
National Grid introduced Clayton Power’s LPS as a new approach to onboard power.
The LPS brings battery storage, charging and power conversion together in one compact system, providing the power technicians need for their daily work in the field.
For National Grid, it offers an integrated alternative to the traditional inverter and leisure battery setup — and a solution suited to a changing vehicle fleet.
Supporting the transition to electric vehicles.
The LPS from Clayton Power is a key step in National Grid’s move towards fully electric vehicles. This technology helps eliminate the need for diesel engines, aligning with regulatory goals to cut emissions and create a cleaner fleet that remains fully operational.
