Ayvens pilots Hitachi ZeroCarbon BatteryManager to optimise global EV fleet performance

Ayvens has strengthened its partnership with Hitachi ZeroCarbon by piloting the ZeroCarbon BatteryManager platform across its company fleet and selected client fleets, in a move aimed at improving the performance, health and long-term value of electric vehicles.

The three-month project will monitor large batches of EV batteries across cars, light commercial vehicles and heavy goods vehicles.

The data generated will give Ayvens real-time insight into battery condition, enabling it to optimise usage, prevent unnecessary degradation and safeguard vehicle performance.

Battery maintenance is increasingly regarded as a key driver of EV profitability and residual values. By surfacing battery performance data in real time, ZeroCarbon BatteryManager helps fleet operators make informed decisions on procurement, usage, financing and remarketing.

Ayvens said the pilot will support its development of a more technology-enabled business model designed to accelerate EV adoption and improve total cost of ownership outcomes for customers.

Hugo Seymour, Head of Presales at Hitachi ZeroCarbon, said: “Battery data is now a commercial asset.

“Understanding how batteries perform in real-world conditions, and how operational approaches influence remaining useful battery life, is essential for building EV business models that are scalable, sustainable, and profitable.

“Our new partnership with Ayvens will give us an opportunity to highlight how intelligent battery monitoring can contribute to better fleet outcomes – extending asset life and reducing the cost of electrifying fleets.”
