TUAL’s PowerBank Pro-Charging: Driving Fleet Efficiency and Cutting Costs
TUAL, a pioneer in electric commercial-vehicle charging, has just launched its game-changing PowerBank Pro-Charging system. This cutting-edge solution is designed to revolutionise enterprise fleet charging and boost electric vehicle productivity.
Developed in partnership with major European fleet operators, this ground-breaking tech is engineered to transform the productivity, profitability, and efficiency of enterprise fleets.
With a focus on electric light commercial vehicles (eLCVs), a key segment for enterprise fleets, TUAL’s innovative tech addresses the pressing challenges of vehicle charging. It offers essential solutions for fleet operators and vehicle OEMs, ensuring smoother and more efficient operations.
Enterprise fleets and OEMs face a critical push to adopt eLCVs, driven by lucrative contracts that require zero-emission vans and regulatory mandates for vehicle manufacturers. However, current eLCV options fall short of fleet operators’ needs, with charging and driving-range limitations resulting in significant costs. Given that 40% of van use-cases exceed typical eLCV ranges and 70% of van drivers can’t charge at home or at depots, fleets risk up to £150,000 in lost productivity per vehicle over five years due to charging downtime.
Philip Clarke, CEO and Founder of TUAL, said:
“Providing van-fleet drivers with guaranteed access to the energy they need, at the time and place of their choosing, plays a critical role in transforming vehicle suitability, driver satisfaction, and fleet profitability. That is what TUAL has been founded to achieve, and – together with some of Europe’s largest fleets – that is what our unique powerbank technology has been developed to facilitate.
We are firmly on track on the journey from product development and prototyping to full-scale manufacturing, and the scope of the technology is hugely exciting for us – with the business looking in future to expand into haulage, agriculture, emergency-services, and defence fleets.
Focusing our initial offering on the eLCV segment as a core component of enterprise fleets, we’re committed to delivering the tools they need to make a success of their transition to electric power.”
TUAL’s highly modular powerbank solutions are designed from the ground up for ultimate flexibility, allowing enterprise fleets to overcome grid and vehicle constraints. As the only on-demand battery system that’s scalable across various OEMs, TUAL PowerBanks are fully compatible with existing vehicle platforms, ensuring easy integration. Each solution comes with installation kits, providing a seamless setup process for fleet operators and vehicle manufacturers.
Its smart powerbank tech can be adapted to a variety of essential use-cases for enterprise fleets. With a full suite of solutions, TUAL empowers commercial fleet operators to take control of their charging operations, eliminating the need for public charging infrastructure and maximising vehicle uptime and profitability.
For vans that can’t charge at home or return to the depot, TUAL’s Vehicle ReCharge powerbank tech offers overnight charging wherever the vehicle is parked, powered by charge collected during the journey. When the driver arrives at the depot, they can swap powerbanks in just 90 seconds, minimising downtime and keeping vehicles on schedule.
TUAL’s Range Extender solution lets vehicles handle long-range duty cycles that go beyond their usual driving range. With this system, drivers can take a powerbank with them during daily operations, allowing them to park their van and let the powerbank charge the vehicle’s battery whenever it’s stationary. This provides the flexibility needed for extended trips without compromising productivity.
The Portable Power solution provides off-grid energy on demand, allowing operators to run auxiliary equipment and charge vehicles while on the road, perfect for those who need more power than the van alone can provide.
TUAL’s PowerBank Pro-Charging system is a game-changer for electric van fleets. It slashes downtime, cuts costs, and boosts productivity by providing flexible charging solutions. With this innovative tech, enterprise fleets can charge on demand, avoid grid constraints, and keep their vehicles on the road. As TUAL’s powerbanks become the standard for electric fleets, the future looks brighter for efficient, sustainable, and profitable emobility.
