The start point for the best source of fleet information |
Bridgestone Mobility Solutions has unveiled a new EV Services Platform for fleets.
The company describes the platform as an ecosystem which integrates services from industry leading mobility and energy providers, and says fleets will be able to use it to access a wide range of advanced EV services easier, faster and with a lower cost of integration.
Bridgestone's telematics provider Webfleet will provide data insights.
The platform is said to comprise six key pillars: charging hardware and software; smart charging; energy management; battery analytics; planning; and fleet management.
Bridgestone says fleet customers will be able to seamlessly share data between any of the connected EV service providers to streamline electric fleet operations, while remaining in charge of deciding which data will be shared, when and how.
Bridgestone Mobility Solutions' Taco Olthoff said: "As businesses across the world step up to cut carbon emissions, electrification is top of mind for many fleets. But the route to electrification comes with challenges - high investments, maintaining a reliable operation and optimising your business to increase range and cut costs.
"These issues can only be solved when the energy and mobility industry collaborate. For EV service providers the goal is to integrate in a scalable way to properly address the challenges fleet customers face.
"Seamless data exchange is the missing link - the thing that unlocks the full value that energy and mobility service providers can deliver by integrating their systems much closer than ever before.
"This is why our EV Services Platform is such a game changer. A fleet manager can, for example, get range information to allocate the most suitable vehicle to get a specific job done. This trip information can then be shared with their charging management provider to select which vehicle should be charged and when based on the required battery level and trip schedule."
