• Connectivity is essential for the success of seamless transportation systems.

• Robust, connected vehicle technology enables safer, more efficient movement through complex and dynamic urban environments.

• Electric buses are digital vehicles and better optimized to collect and exchange data

- More data gives agencies more power to optimize their own operations than they could with combustion engine fleets, and more efficiently use their assets

Agencies can leverage a cloud-based data platform, offering historical and real-time performance information about your battery electric vehicle fleet, to optimize bus and charging operations and ultimately reduce costs.

CLOUD-BASED DATA PLATFORM

• VEHICLE MONITORING

• REMOTE DIAGNOSTICS

• PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE

• CHARGER MANAGEMENT


REAL-TIME DATA TO INFORM DECISION MAKING


SMART ENERGY MANAGEMENT

CHARGE MANAGEMENT

With charge management software designed specifically for heavy-duty fleets, you can schedule charging, monitor charging status, control charging stations remotely, and receive real-time updates on charger activity.


• Problem: Charging fleet of buses at once allowed for spike in energy demand and raised costs for customer

• Solution: Smart Energy management software allowed energy demand to be distributed throughout charging time without spiking demand.

• Data and this software can enable customers to reduce demand charges and save money.
