The platform is an ecosystem that integrates solutions from mobility and energy providers into a single platform.
Businesses with fleets will be able to access a range of advanced EV services easier, faster and with a lower cost of integration, accelerating electrification and optimising EV operations.
The platform creates a connection between these service providers based on fleet and energy data.
Webfleet will provide vehicle data insights that enhance the EV services provided by connected partners.
Taco Olthoff, EV program director at Bridgestone Mobility Solutions, said: “As businesses across the world step up to cut carbon emissions, electrification is top of mind for many fleets.
“But the route to electrification comes with challenges – high investments, maintaining a reliable operation and optimising your business to increase range and cut costs. These issues can only be solved when the energy and mobility industry collaborate. For EV service providers the goal is to integrate in a scalable way to properly address the challenges fleet customers face.”
“Seamless data exchange is the missing link – the thing that unlocks the full value that energy and mobility service providers can deliver by integrating their systems much closer than ever before.
“This is why our EV Services Platform is such a game changer. A fleet manager can, for example, get range information to allocate the most suitable vehicle to get a specific job done. This trip information can then be shared with their charging management provider to select which vehicle should be charged and when based on the required battery level and trip schedule.”
Fleet customers will be able to share data between any of the connected EV service providers to streamline electric fleet operations. Users will always stay in control of their own data, deciding which data will be shared, when and how.
Energy service providers such as Eaton, VEV and Bia Power have already announced their commitment to integrating with the platform in addition to a range of mobility service providers, including TomTom, Webfleet and Azuga.
The platform is open to other partners in the e-mobility ecosystem.
