Schneider Electric partners with The Mobility House Solutions team to deploy smart charging for EV fleets

Schneider Electric, leader in the digital transformation of energy management and automation, and The Mobility House Solutions, leader in smart charging technology, have announced their cooperation to jointly roll out and sell EV load management and smart charging and energy solutions.

Both companies are driven by the fact that, according to the IEA, private cars and vans were accountable for more than 25 percent of global oil use and around 10 percent of global energy-related CO2 emissions in 2022, and that trucks and buses are responsible for more than 35 percent of direct CO2 emissions from road transport despite representing fewer than 8 percent of vehicles.

Consequently, fleet electrification – including municipal electric bus fleets, electric trucks, and electric logistic fleets such as ground-support vehicles at airports – is an important component of decarbonizing transportation and crucial pillar of successful energy transition.

Such projects are expected to bring numerous societal and business benefits to multiple energy landscape players, starting with companies delivering or deploying new in-transit or in-depot charging solutions. Those benefits include optimized capital expenditures, energy efficiency improvements, and a pathway for future energy services.

Upstream of charging infrastructure, the cooperation between Schneider Electric and The Mobility House Solutions is also expected to positively affect energy efficiency and prosumer empowerment of grid operators, who increasingly struggle with grid congestion under the stringent demands of a rapidly electrifying energy landscape.
