Tied Branch supports the deployment of clean transportation technologies across light-, medium-, and heavy-duty markets—including EVs, EV charging infrastructure (EVSE), hydrogen fueling, renewable natural gas (RNG), and advanced biofuels. We help public agencies, project developers, technology providers, and fleet operators move from planning to implementation with credible analysis, realistic infrastructure design, and actionable funding strategies.

​

Our approach is built around real-world constraints: duty cycle, uptime, fuel availability, utility coordination, site readiness, and total cost of ownership.

​

Assess and Prioritize:

We begin with a practical review of fleet and infrastructure needs—vehicle types, routes, utilization, fueling patterns, and replacement cycles. We focus on identifying the transition pathways that make operational and financial sense today, while preparing for scalable future upgrades.

​

Tied Branch leverages tools such as DOE Clean Cities resources and lifecycle cost modeling frameworks (including AFLEET where appropriate) to quantify cost and emissions impacts across multiple technology scenarios.

​

Infrastructure and Fueling Strategy:

Successful fleet transition is often limited less by vehicle availability and more by infrastructure readiness. We help clients evaluate charging and fueling options, including:

​

• EVSE siting and phased deployment planning

• grid capacity and utility coordination

• hydrogen fueling feasibility and station development strategy

• RNG/CNG fueling supply and contract considerations

• biofuel sourcing and compliance alignment

 

We focus on infrastructure strategies that minimize downtime risk and avoid stranded investment.

​

Find Available Funding:

Tied Branch identifies and pursues federal, state, and local funding opportunities that support vehicle and infrastructure deployment. We help clients navigate incentive programs, compliance requirements, and grant timelines—often structuring projects to maximize outside funding while minimizing capital burden.

​

Our team has supported successful applications and project strategies that have unlocked $10M+ in public and private funding for clean transportation initiatives.

​

Qualify and Quantify Reductions:

We help clients quantify operational savings, emissions reductions, and air quality benefits in a way that supports procurement decisions, stakeholder approval, and program reporting. Our work is designed to produce defensible outputs that can be used with executives, regulators, and financing partners.

 

The result: cleaner fleets, stronger infrastructure planning, and faster implementation.
