The venture
opt-e-fleet grows out of ten years of research on fleet electrification at TU Berlin. Projects with BVG, Alstom, Siemens and BLG Logistics turned that research into the simulation toolkit eFLIPS. Funded by the Berlin ProValid programme, we are now validating market demand and preparing the company. In this phase we are looking for pilot partners: your concrete planning problems decide what we build first.
