The partners say they will now develop an integrated optimisation and navigation system for electric vehicles (EVs) that allows fleets’ EVs to be optimally scheduled alongside conventional vehicles.
It will then send the best route for the entire itinerary to each driver, directly into the Sygic Navigation app.
Colin Ferguson, CEO of Route Monkey, says that working together, Sygic and Route Monkey can also schedule stops at charge points en route, and provide real-time navigation to recharging stations.
“Our integrated solution takes [navigation tools] to a whole new level. By partnering with Sygic, we can optimise an entire fleet, including EVs, plus provide navigation that is specifically tailored to EVs within that fleet,” states Ferguson.
“Based on our research and analysis, mixed fleets consisting of EVs and conventional vehicles will soon play an important role in fleet Telematics,” adds, Sygic Business Solutions director Martin Strigac.
“In combination with our Sygic Professional Navigation and Sygic FleetWork the planning, driving and operational management of EVs will be much easier, more efficient and transparent.”
