Innovative Systems for a more efficient Use of Bus Fleets

Transport companies connect places to places, people to people and people to places.

We wanted to improve all of these interactions and we’re really happy to announce that we have developed solutions in cooperation with INIT, the global leading provider of integrated public transport IT solutions.

With the aid of our systems, transport companies have a completely new view of their bus fleets, whether these are conventional diesel or environmentally friendly electric buses, and whether our customers are working in the head office or driving the bus.

This enables transport companies to work more efficiently, save their own resources and protect the environment at the same time.

You can find more information about our systems and their how they are being used here

New Year, New Product

The new year starts with a new product in cooperation with Init se: the efficient charging management system MOBILEcharge.

By combining our IT know-how with Init’s experience as the world’s leading provider of IT solutions for public transport, we created the MobileCharge product from the MobileECO2 product family.

In order for electromobility to make increasing inroads into public transport, a certain amount of coordination is required in advance: When will the electric buses run and for how long? How is it ensured that they do not stop in the middle of the route? And how can several buses be charged at the same time?

Many questions they no longer have to worry about thanks to our new product. MOBILEcharge coordinates the charging processes, whether parallel, controlled or automated – with our system, every battery in their fleet is fully charged.

MOBILEcharge coordinates your fleet’s charging operations and takes care of
issues such as timing, duration and simultaneity of the charging process.

For more information on this exciting new product, see the linked product video. 

Such strong products as MobileCharge show it once again: with Team Play, great things can be achieved.

E-mobility for Transport Companies

A highlight of Innotrans 2018: the fully comprehensive coordination of electric buses. In cooperation with Init se, we offer an integrated solution for transport companies to enable the step towards electromobility in public transport.

Init se offers an integrated solution for transport companies that includes planning and dispatching, as well as operations control and payment systems, and evaluation and statistics systems. So that nothing stands in the way of flawless operations in public transport. 

This year at Innotrans 2018, this solution will be optimized especially for electric mobility. For example, transport operators can use simulation software to analyze how electric buses can be optimally integrated into the existing fleet.

With our integrated solutions, electromobility can be optimally
used by transport companies to make optimal use of it.

Dr. Jürgen Greschner, CEO Init se

With the full coordination of electric buses, any transport company flawlessly achieves the move from conventional to environmentally friendly transport.

Inductive Charging of e-Vehicles on the Model

CarMedialab supports research and development of smart charging for a more efficient and greener mobility of the future. For this we offer a prototype for inductive charging under ISO 15118. See for yourself:

The model vehicle was created in collaboration with our partners. Small-scale modeling gives us the opportunity to test the processes of inductive charging in real conditions and to optimize them.

Inductive charging offers the possibility to charge the
le more effectively and comfortably.

We are excited about further research projects at our company. For the future of electromobility – for our future.

Driving on Sight – With a View to the Future

Traffic became an idea that is now gradually undergoing its implementation. However, this step does not take place overnight, but requires “driving on sight”, in which, through a feedback cycle of implementing, measuring, learning and correcting, the planning, scheduling and operational control of electromobility can slowly be carried out and optimized.

We ride with a view to the future – Read more!

With driving on sight, we succeed in taking the step
from conventional mobility to the mobility of tomorrow.

We drive on sight. With a view to the future.

Intelligent Charging Management of Electric Buses

Read here how important a central charging management system is for networking the vehicles with the charging infrastructure, the operational IT system and the energy supplier, while also providing the basis for regulating, planning and optimizing the charging process

We are excited about the future, but we are building on electromobility and with our work it will soon find its way into all traffic.

How does Smart Charging work?

Our CEO Heiko Bauer will give a presentation on Smart Charging at the Forum-Elektromobilität at the Spree Palais am Dom in Berlin on June 02, 2017. The Forum for Electromobility meets in this year’s framework. Many exciting topics await you, including a presentation by our CEO Heiko Bauer on the topic of Smart Charging.

For a better evaluation of your measurement data, you now receive additional photos. You tell us your trigger moments and we deliver pictures 10 seconds before and after the event with a rate of up to 10 pictures per second. Afterwards you know if your measurement was positive.


Why not visit us at the lecture?
When: June 02, 2017
Where: Spree Palais, Berlin

CEO Heiko Bauer​


We are looking forward to your visit and to lots of exciting impressions at the Forum in Berlin.
You can find more information about the Forum here.
