FLEETDRIVE
R: Our Engineering and Compliance team manages all aspects of regulatory compliance in both AU and NZ. We have developed a set of company standards that cover every detail of our customer offerings.
Our approach to design and installation is to reduce risk to as low as reasonably practicable( ALARP), a principle borne of our roots in the Oil and Gas Industry. We look to understand risk first, then deliver solutions that meet compliance and consider the ongoing management of the equipment for its complete lifecycle.
We have four key pillars: safety, compliance, reliability and performance – all influencing design in their own way. For example, safety means considering emergency response management; compliance extends beyond national requirements to design for extended installation life; reliability drives careful product selection and in-house capability for fast issue turnaround; and performance ensures full visibility of both asset and support team performance.
Our EV charging infrastructure is designed for“ safe and reliable” operations for the full term of the installation, not just at a price point for the installation alone.
Navigating Regulatory Challenges
Q: Given the evolving Australian regulatory landscape for EV charging infrastructure, how do you proactively identify, interpret, and integrate the latest safety-focused compliance requirements into your installation projects?
R: Good, thorough assessment of risk enables us to navigate ambiguity and progress with surety. While standards and regulations tend to lag, it is important that we progress with eyes wide open to the risks associated with the design, build and operation of this type of infrastructure. Ampol’ s history is founded on robust risk management, and we have adapted our processes to facilitate this new business context.
