Developing a strategy for electrifying passenger and freight transport is not done with a snap of the fingers. And whether it concerns a fleet of buses, coaches or delivery trucks, a wide range of criteria and variables must be taken into account. For your strategy to be realistic, you must have all the data that will allow you to know your concrete needs. How many kilometers do your vehicles travel daily? What will be the energy needs for air conditioning and heating, or if it is a utility vehicle? What is the usage cycle and what are your vehicles' downtime periods for charging needs? Which routes should be prioritized for the first deployments?
All these questions have one thing in common: they require reliable data for equally reliable answers. And this is where AttriX Technologies and Geotab come into play. Thanks to the capture and analysis of data from millions of vehicles connected to the Geotab network, AttriX can support you in defining your true needs, as well as the challenges that await you in planning the deployment of an electric vehicle fleet.
This data first allows you to have a concrete, real-time picture of the use of your current vehicles, in order to better select those that can be transitioned to electric vehicles. It also equips you with a cutting-edge tool to reassess your routes and operations, to optimize them and further facilitate this transition to renewable energies. And by combining your vehicles' usage profiles, availability periods for charging and your electricity provider's rate schedules, Geotab's data also allows you to further reduce your energy consumption costs.
AttriX Technologies, one of Geotab’s largest partner-integrators in Canada, has made it its mission to support companies, utilities and government organizations in a successful transition to transport electrification. With the rapid arrival of new commercial electric vehicle offerings on the market, it has become essential to work closely with the various vehicle manufacturers to access critical electric vehicle data.
This data allows us to assist companies and organizations in vehicle selection, in the financial planning and feasibility of electrification projects, in setting up a charging network and in route development. And once electric vehicles join your fleet, AttriX Technologies enables you to obtain simple but comprehensive reports on these vehicles' performance, charging needs, route optimization and actual energy consumption, as well as allowing you to develop a preventive and periodic maintenance program specific to your electric vehicles. And above all, while range is at the center of many potential buyers' concerns regarding commercial electric vehicles, Geotab technology powered by AttriX allows fleet managers to be constantly in direct communication with the charge level of all their vehicles, both during use and while charging, thus reducing the risk of running out of charge.
Finally, our tools constitute the perfect platform to compare the performance and energy consumption of electric vehicles and combustion vehicles, in order to accurately quantify the total cost of ownership and operation for both categories of vehicles.
AttriX Technologies, like Geotab, understands the importance of a successful deployment of commercial electric vehicles. The coming years will be crucial to truly establish transport electrification as the preferred solution for a wide range of users, whether in passenger transport, freight or for utility vehicles, in urban environments or over longer distances. That is why we offer support and specific tools for fleet managers who have chosen to move forward with the adoption of electric vehicles. Our vision for transport electrification and data security is reflected in technologies accessible today, ready for the fleets of tomorrow.
It is therefore with great enthusiasm and with the deep conviction of taking part in an important collective effort to support transport electrification that AttriX Technologies is once again pleased to contribute to this third edition of Impulsion MTL as Major Partners.
