planning in one convenient portal (Photo: Lightning eMotors)
Lightning’s original telematics solution, created 10 years ago,
was already a market-leading platform offering an array of data
collection and analysis capability that was unmatched in the
industry.
The new system, which monitors up to 156 data points including
vehicle location, state of charge, energy usage, efficiency,
lifetime metrics with total driving hours, energy usage, vehicle
health and many other important vehicle metrics, is integrated into
every new Lightning eMotors vehicle. Additionally, Lightning
Insights provides complete control over Lightning’s fleet charging
solutions including charger access, charge time scheduling, load
management, payment methods and more.
“We’re excited to bring this next generation product to our
lineup of all-electric, zero-emission vans, trucks and buses, and
to further inform our customers on route optimization, driver
behavior and other metrics that boost vehicle uptime and
longevity,” Lighting eMotors CRO Kash Sethi said. “Lightning’s
original analytics solution has served our customers well over the
years, but Insights will allow operators to dive much deeper into
electric vehicle-specific health and driver behavior than most
commercial telematics solutions on the market today.”
In addition to a user-friendly portal, Lightning Insights
customers can leverage the available API to enable seamless
integration of Lightning vehicle data with other third-party
telematics or charging management systems. This capability offers
versatility for fleet operators that already utilize other
providers and don’t want an additional portal to log into. Every
vehicle equipped with Lightning Insights connects to Lightning’s
data servers over an encrypted 4G connection, not only allowing
Lightning to monitor all aspects of the vehicles’ health, but also
providing real-time analytics viewable by customers.
“Lightning Insights offers a very user-friendly customer portal
and upcoming mobile app for monitoring and reporting dozens of
real-time analytics from a customizable dashboard of easy-to-digest
graphs, charts and slides,” said Brandon McNeil, vice president of
energy and insights at Lightning eMotors. “Whether managing one
vehicle, a fleet of hundreds, or a combined vehicle and charger
deployment, our new telematics system is designed to simplify fleet
operations with the click of a button.”
Lightning Insights is available for both existing and new
Lightning eMotors vehicles through a subscription-based model.
Existing customers who already use Lightning Telematics will be
upgraded to Lightning Insights for the same monthly cost per
vehicle. Existing customers who currently do not use Lightning
Telematics can try out Lighting Insights via a free three-month
trial by contacting a Lighting eMotors customer service
representative at info@lightningemotors.com.
