Your starting point
For commercial fleets, economics decide. Per kilometre, electricity is cheaper than diesel — but vehicles, chargers and the grid connection demand a large upfront investment. Whether the sums work out depends on the design: vehicles bought by datasheet fail their routes in winter, and a wrongly sized grid connection either blocks expansion or costs money for nothing.
How we work
- Measure. With instruments in the vehicle, we record how your fleet actually drives: routes, load, consumption, across the seasons.
- Model. We simulate your site as one system: vehicles, chargers, grid connection and — where it pays off — photovoltaics and battery storage.
- Decide. You get fully computed variants with cost and emissions, and invest on numbers instead of brochure claims.
A published example
With Siemens and BLG Logistics we planned the electrification of a real distribution centre near Berlin: six 40-tonne trucks on a fixed daily plan. The cost-optimal design came out smaller than the market assumes: a 220 kWh battery and three 200 kW chargers. Over ten years, greenhouse gas emissions fall by about half. The optimisation also found a whole band of near-equal-cost solutions: if one charging site is refused, a proven alternative is ready.
Where this field stands
The simulation core is mature in bus operation and has been applied and published for trucks. The extensions for commercial fleets — above all the in-vehicle measurement programme and joint planning with generation and storage — are in development now. Join early and you shape the tool.

The entry is small and low-risk: one site, one route, real measurements. Afterwards you know what electrifying your site costs, and what it saves.
