What makes the tool unique is the largest database in Europe containing available and upcoming electric trucks and vans on the market. Consequently, fleet managers can compare the performance of different models and determine which vehicle best suits their transport operations. Hubschneider says, “Public information about electric vehicles is often very limited. Therefore, we collaborate with vehicle manufacturers to gather the necessary data. In this way, we aim to provide more transparency regarding investment decisions.” Better results with digital twins The EV Truck Route Planner goes one step further. The tool uses manufacturers’ data to create a digital twin of each vehicle, providing a realistic representation of its behaviour under various conditions. Factors such as high or low outside temperatures and headwinds influence energy consumption. Additionally, the vehicle’s age, mileage and driver behaviour affect its range. Currently, the EV Truck Route Planner includes digital twins of trucks and vans in Europe. In the future, we even want to go beyond that, also including other parts of the world, other types of vehicles and other alternative drivetrain technologies contributing to a more sustainable world. Hubschneider explains, “Fleet managers can simulate different scenarios to understand how a vehicle behaves under various conditions. This enables them to make even better assessments of which vehicle is most suitable for their operations.” About PTV Logistics (PTV Logistics & Conundra) PTV Logistics is a global software company with 40+ years of experience in transport logistics.
