ELU is an intelligent platform that employs digital twin technology to simulate e-mobility infrastructure, enabling fleet operators to evaluate software solutions without physical chargers or vehicles. This simulation reduces operational costs and CO2 emissions by identifying inefficiencies and optimizing fleet performance before significant investments are made.

Problem
Transitioning to electric trucks presents challenges for freight carriers and logistics companies, including uncertainty about cost-effectiveness, optimal charging strategies, and infrastructure requirements. Inefficient planning can lead to increased operational costs and failure to achieve carbon emission reduction goals.
Solution
ELU Mobility offers a software platform that analyzes fleet data to determine the financial viability of integrating electric trucks, providing a tailored electrification roadmap. The platform identifies routes suitable for electrification, calculates the number of electric trucks needed, and estimates total cost of ownership (TCO) and CO2 savings compared to diesel. For fleets already using electric trucks, ELU Charge optimizes charging schedules based on electricity spot prices, transport plans, and real-time monitoring to minimize charging costs while ensuring vehicles are ready for their next route. ELU also supports infrastructure setup and financing through a network of trusted partners.
Target Audience
ELU Mobility targets freight carriers and logistics companies operating fleets of 30 or more trucks, as well as companies already utilizing electric trucks seeking to optimize charging costs and fleet performance.
