IVe retrofits diesel vehicles with hydrogen powertrains, delivering zero-emission performance, extended vehicle life, and a cost-effective route to fleet decarbonisation.
About
Innervated Vehicle Engineering (IVe) is a clean-tech vehicle company reimagining the future of commercial transport through practical, high-impact innovation. Our mission is to accelerate the transition to zero-emission logistics by transforming today’s diesel vans into tomorrow’s hydrogen heroes.
At our core, we’re engineers, problem-solvers, and sustainability advocates — combining technical excellence with bold thinking. We believe in making the green transition accessible, scalable, and commercially viable. That means real-world performance, not just ideal-world promises.
Rather than replace diesel vans entirely, we retrofit them — preserving valuable assets, cutting waste, and delivering a faster, more affordable route to net-zero. Our hydrogen-powered conversions are built for fleets, not just future concepts — meeting the demands of payload, range, and reliability that businesses expect.
We are IVe: Turning legacy into leadership — one truck at a time.
Key Benefits
IVe’s hydrogen retrofit solution offers a practical, cost-effective pathway for fleet operators and logistics companies to decarbonise their vehicles without the need for full replacement. By converting existing diesel vans into zero-emission, hydrogen-powered vehicles, businesses can drastically cut their carbon footprint while preserving the investment already made in their fleets. This approach helps organisations meet Net Zero goals faster, with minimal operational disruption.
Cost is a major barrier to clean transport, and IVe directly addresses this. Our retrofit platform is significantly more affordable than purchasing new electric or hydrogen vans, and avoids the financial and environmental cost of prematurely scrapping functional vehicles. By extending the lifespan of your fleet, you reduce your total cost of ownership while improving your sustainability credentials.
Unlike many battery-electric solutions, IVe’s hydrogen-powered vans deliver diesel-comparable payload and range, making them truly viable for real-world commercial use. Operators no longer need to compromise on performance to achieve environmental targets. This ensures fleets can maintain service levels, efficiency, and delivery schedules without disruption.
Speed is also a key advantage. Vehicle conversions can be completed more quickly than waiting on the delivery of new zero-emission models, particularly given ongoing global supply chain challenges. This means you can get vehicles back on the road faster, reducing downtime and keeping your business moving.
Beyond tailpipe emissions, IVe’s solution contributes to circularity and sustainability across the full vehicle lifecycle. By upgrading rather than discarding, you reduce manufacturing waste and maximise the value of existing assets — a smarter, more responsible way to transition to cleaner transport. It also enhances your ESG profile, appealing to stakeholders and customers who prioritise environmental leadership.
Finally, our hydrogen retrofit platform is designed to scale. It’s modular, adaptable, and compatible with a range of commercial van types, making it suitable for businesses of all sizes — whether you’re piloting a clean fleet or rolling out a nationwide transition. IVe enables you to build a zero-emission fleet on your terms, at your pace, without compromise.
Applications
Our primary target market is commercial fleet operators who rely on vans and trucks for daily business operations. This includes companies in logistics, delivery, utilities, construction, maintenance, and local government services. These organisations often run large numbers of diesel vehicles and face growing pressure to reduce emissions, meet sustainability goals, and comply with clean air regulations.
We also target fleet management companies and vehicle leasing providers who are looking for cost-effective, scalable solutions to support their clients' transition to low- or zero-emission transport. Our hydrogen retrofit platform gives them a unique opportunity to offer greener alternatives without the delays and high costs of purchasing new vehicles.
In addition, we aim to work with public sector bodies, including councils, NHS trusts, and emergency services, many of which are actively seeking cleaner vehicle solutions as part of their climate commitments and air quality strategies.
Finally, we appeal to early adopters of clean technologies, particularly those with sustainability-led brand values or ambitious Net Zero targets. These organisations see environmental leadership as a competitive advantage and are looking for innovative, real-world solutions that don’t compromise on performance.
