LONDON, June 30, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — As one of the largest and most complex deployments of advanced charge management software globally, Go-Ahead Group is rolling out BetterFleet’s leading EV fleet charge management and operations platform across its national fleet with over 1,000 electric vehicles and chargers in operation across 20 bus depots in the UK and contracted plans to expand to more than 1,500 units across 30 depots by the end of 2025.
Managing one of the world’s largest fleets of electric buses requires consolidation and standardisation of multiple data sources, clear operational information and insights along with automation. With the BetterFleet platform, Go-Ahead Group depot operators are provided with mission-critical information to simplify their duties and help ensure that vehicles are ready for dispatch, while intelligent load deferral helps avoid costly infrastructure upgrades and allows more vehicles to be charged within existing grid capacity.
The software system also brings intelligent incident management capabilities to streamline operations and maintenance processes, reducing costs and improving asset use. Visibility into numerous different brands of legacy charging systems is provided under a single interface, with the BetterFleet IoT Hub providing virtual upgrades to extend chargers’ lifespan and avoid unnecessary replacements. By maximising charger usage and minimising downtime, BetterFleet helps Go-Ahead Group have vehicles ready when needed.
“We’re proud of our leadership in zero-emission transport. By using BetterFleet, we have live data to track and manage our zero-emission fleet through its in-depot charge status and on-road state of charge, as well as manage our energy consumption more effectively and minimise our impact on the grid,” said Matt Carney, CEO Go-Ahead Bus.
“We’re thrilled to see our technology making an immediate impact on Go-Ahead Group’s operations,” said Daniel Hilson, CEO of BetterFleet. “Our platform’s real-time monitoring, automated scheduling, and AI-driven predictive analytics enable them to manage charging more efficiently, helping reduce costs and ensure that electric buses are ready to meet service.”
