Hitachi ZeroCarbon powers COBUS electric shuttle bus fleet with battery analytics


Hitachi ZeroCarbon, a subsidiary of Japanese conglomerate Hitachi that provides technology for decarbonizing fleet vehicles, is supplying its battery management system to German airport shuttle bus manufacturer COBUS Industries.

Hitachi will equip 100 e.COBUS Extended Range (ER) buses worldwide with its ZeroCarbon BatteryManager by 2025. BatteryManager will analyze the health and performance of the company’s EV battery assets. COBUS and its customers will receive detailed data insights into each EV battery, minimizing the risk of degradation, optimizing route planning and enabling early intervention before a fault occurs. This includes proactive battery alerts that support preventative maintenance.

“When we discuss fleet electrification with managers and operators, many ask how EV batteries can cope with the demands of different operational environments. With COBUS, we are not only demonstrating how to effectively manage and retain the long-term value of EV battery assets, but how these assets can perform in different locations and climates,” said Ram Ramachander, CEO of Hitachi ZeroCarbon. “We will gather and provide insights on how these assets can withstand a variety of conditions, from climate to terrain, to show how they can reduce operational risk and deliver robust fleet management.”
