New Leadership for a Changing Fleet Landscape
On May 1, 2026, Radius, the global provider of fuel, fleet and mobility solutions, announced that Jonathan Haseler would take on the role of Divisional Chief Executive Officer for Fuel and EV. The move comes as the industry shifts from traditional fuel to electric vehicles, and as fleet operators confront higher costs, tighter emissions targets and growing operational demands.
Who Is Radius?
Radius has built a reputation for delivering integrated services that help businesses manage their vehicle fleets. Its portfolio includes fuel cards, EV charging infrastructure, telematics, and fleet payments. By offering a single platform that covers both conventional fuel and electric charging, the company gives operators a clear view of expenses and usage across mixed fleets.
Jonathan Haseler’s New Responsibilities
In his new position, Haseler will steer Radius’s global Fuel and EV strategy. His mandate is to grow established fuel markets while accelerating the company’s EV and charging proposition. This dual focus reflects the reality that many fleets still rely on gasoline and diesel, but are also beginning to add electric vehicles to their rosters.
“I’m really excited to be stepping into the role of Divisional CEO for our global Fuel and EV business,” said Jonathan Haseler, Divisional CEO for Fuel and EV at Radius.
Why the Transition Matters
Fleet operators are feeling the pressure from rising fuel costs and stricter emissions regulations. At the same time, the complexity of managing a mix of internal combustion and electric vehicles is increasing. Radius’s decision to appoint a dedicated CEO for this area signals a commitment to address those challenges head‑on.
The Role of Fuel Cards and Telematics
Fuel cards remain a staple for many businesses, providing a convenient way to control spending and enforce policies. Telematics, meanwhile, offers real‑time data on vehicle location, speed, and fuel consumption. Together, these tools give fleet managers a detailed picture of how their vehicles are used, which is essential when planning a transition to electric power.
EV Charging as a Strategic Asset
Electric vehicle charging is more than just a convenience; it is an investment in infrastructure that can reduce long‑term operating costs. By integrating charging solutions with its existing services, Radius helps operators plan for future needs and avoid the pitfalls of fragmented systems.
Challenges for Mixed Fleets
Operators who maintain a mix of fuel‑powered and electric vehicles face several hurdles. Fuel‑powered vehicles require ongoing maintenance, fuel procurement, and compliance with emissions standards. Electric vehicles introduce new variables such as battery health, charging station availability, and energy management. A unified platform can mitigate these complexities.
How Radius Supports Thousands of Businesses
Radius’s reach extends across the globe, supporting thousands of companies with a single, integrated solution. Whether a business uses a few vehicles or hundreds, the platform offers visibility and control that scale with its needs. This scalability is particularly valuable as fleets grow or shift toward electrification.
The Strategic Vision for Fuel and EV
Haseler’s promotion reflects Radius’s continued investment in integrated fuel and EV solutions. The company aims to help fleet operators navigate cost pressures, meet emissions targets, and manage operational complexity. By aligning its services with the evolving market, Radius positions itself as a partner rather than a vendor.
What This Means for Customers
Customers can expect a stronger focus on the intersection of fuel and electric vehicle management. With a dedicated CEO, Radius is likely to accelerate product development, improve customer support, and deepen its expertise in both areas. The result should be smoother transitions for fleets looking to add electric vehicles without losing control over fuel‑powered operations.
Industry Implications
Radius’s appointment signals a broader industry trend: the need for leaders who understand both legacy fuel systems and emerging electric technologies. As more companies look to reduce their carbon footprint, the demand for integrated solutions will grow. Leaders like Haseler are positioned to guide this shift.
Looking Ahead
While the details of Haseler’s strategy are still unfolding, the announcement sets a clear direction. By combining fuel and EV expertise under one division, Radius aims to streamline operations for fleet managers worldwide. The next steps will likely involve expanding charging infrastructure, refining telematics analytics, and enhancing payment solutions.
Final Thoughts
The appointment of Jonathan Haseler as Divisional CEO for Fuel and EV marks a significant step for Radius and the fleet management sector. It underscores the importance of integrated solutions in an era where fuel and electric vehicles coexist. As operators face rising costs and stricter regulations, having a single partner that can manage both sides of the equation will become increasingly valuable.
