In 2025, we are launching a new service that optimizes battery usage for vehicle fleets.
Take the opportunity to see how it works—already at the Persontrafik event!
Our upcoming service, Battery Monitoring System (BMS), optimizes battery usage and reduces battery wear in electrified vehicle fleets. By analyzing large amounts of historical data, we have built advanced models that provide individual forecasts for each vehicle, including range and battery’s state of charge (SoC).
”Many electric bus operators struggle with how to use their batteries more optimally and thus make their fleets more efficient. With the BMS service, we help them and contribute to a more sustainable world,” says Johan Göthe, CEO of Drivec.
The individual forecasts are a powerful tool for route planning, allowing operators to see in advance how far different vehicles can go and what the battery status will be at the end of a route. This gives full control over how much battery capacity each route requires in percentage terms, opening up several optimization opportunities, such as:
Optimized charging. Charge only the kilowatt-hours needed for the day. This reduces both energy consumption and charging time.
Monitor battery performance. Identify when a battery starts to underperform by continuously tracking parameters such as battery temperature and internal resistance.
Optimize charging and discharging cycles. Keeping the battery within an optimal charge range maximizes its efficiency and reduces wear.
The service aims not only to optimize battery usage but also to improve its long-term health. By monitoring battery temperature and internal resistance in real-time, it is possible to assess battery condition and optimize charging cycles to prevent overheating or damage from improper operation.
Drivec BMS helps extend battery life, reducing maintenance costs and decreasing the need for expensive battery replacements. Regular monitoring of battery health, temperature, and internal resistance allows for proactive maintenance, ensuring that the batteries in the vehicle fleet perform optimally—both today and in the future.
