Univers connects fleet schedules, charging infrastructure and on-site energy in one intelligent system—helping you protect vehicle readiness, reduce peak demand and build a stronger electrification business case.
Adding electric vehicles is not simply a vehicle replacement project. Charging demand affects grid capacity, infrastructure investment, energy tariffs, site operations and whether every vehicle is ready when its route begins.
When fleet, charging and energy decisions are managed separately, operators risk oversizing infrastructure, creating avoidable peaks and weakening the return on electrification.
Model real schedules, dwell times and energy demand before committing to chargers, grid upgrades, PV or battery storage.
Coordinate charging with tariffs, site load, renewable generation and storage to avoid unnecessary peaks and use lower-cost energy.
Prioritize vehicles by route, state of charge and departure time so optimization supports—not compromises—operations.
Create the control layer needed to participate in demand response and other flexibility markets where available.
Bring together vehicle, charger, meter, tariff, PV, battery and operational data through an open, vendor-agnostic platform.
Forecast charging demand and simulate infrastructure scenarios against real fleet schedules and site constraints.
Continuously optimize charging and energy assets around cost, capacity and vehicle readiness.
Track performance, refine operating rules and scale the model across additional depots.
Univers works with existing OEMs, chargers, transport-management systems and APIs—so operators can optimize the whole depot without replacing every system already in place.
In an illustrative German depot model covering 100 vehicles, optimization improved total cost of ownership by approximately 14 percentage points versus an unoptimized EV scenario.
Illustrative depot design: smart charging combined with PV and battery storage reduced modelled grid need by about 50%—from 3.2–4.0 MW to 1.6–2.0 MW.
Illustrative modelling only. Actual outcomes depend on fleet profile, site constraints, tariffs, technology choices and market conditions.
