Electric mobility has become an unstoppable reality for the professional fleets. Both urban mobility services (VTC, taxi, carsharing, etc.) and last-mile logistics and delivery companies are opting for electric vehicles to reduce emissions, improve efficiency and respond to new market demands.
In many cities, the low emission zones and restrictions on the circulation of vehicles that do not have an ECO or ZERO sticker from the DGT are accelerating this transition. For fleet managers, having electric vehicles and an adequate charging infrastructure is no longer just a strategic decision: it is a prerequisite for continuing to operate in the city centre.
From ORBIS, with our VIARIS EcosystemWe offer recharging solutions designed to suit the specific needs of each type of fleet.
Common challenges in fleet charging
In all cases, there are commonalities:
- High energy demand concentrated at certain times of the day.
- Need for dynamic management of contracted power to avoid cost overruns.
- Safety and durability of the equipment under intensive use.
- Centralised monitoring and control of the entire charger network.
These factors make it essential to have smart, scalable and renewable energy compatible charging systems.
Charging of car fleets: VTC (vehicle with driver), electric taxis and car sharing.
Electric car fleets require maximum availability and reduced downtime. In addition, the electrification of these fleets responds to a regulatory need: the constraints on access to urban centres force operators such as Uber, Cabify and taxis to switch to electric vehicles if they want to continue offering services in major cities.
- AC semi-fast charging (22 kW): the charger VIARIS CITY +, with double socket, it is ideal for urban public car parks. Safe, resistant and ready to be integrated with management and collection platforms. VIARIS COMBI + with two outlets is ideal for charging fleets or corporate vehicles.
- DC fast charging (30-40 kW): VIARIS GRAVITYcompact and versatile, it is the choice for car parks, service stations and high turnover fleets.
- Invoicing and individualised management: tools such as the VIARIS Cost Sharing software and the VIARIS Management Platform facilitate economic management, allowing consumption to be assigned to each driver and automatic receipts to be generated.
Thanks to these solutions, shared mobility fleets can maintain a continuous, cost-effective and sustainable service.
Delivery van fleet loading (last mile, courier and e-commerce)
Electric delivery companies need to recharge large volumes of vehicles, typically overnight and at their logistics bases. In addition, many cities already restrict the entry of combustion vans into urban delivery areas, which makes electric delivery companies' vehicles more expensive. electric vans in the most viable alternative for last-mile distribution.
- Fast and ultra-fast DC recharging:
- VIARIS LANDER (60-80 kW) → up to 532 km range in one hour of connection.
- VIARIS LANDER PLUS (120-160-240 kW) → up to 400 km in just 15 minutes, with simultaneous charging of two vehicles.
- VIARIS HPC CONSTELLATION (600 kW) → Up to 480 kW at a single outlet, designed for large fleets and petrol stations that need ultra-fast, no-waiting recharging.
ORBIS charging solutions not only improve the operational efficiency of fleets, but also contribute actively to the decarbonisation of professional transport. Through the VIARIS IoT platformfleet managers can visualise real-time energy consumption data and the energy consumption of their fleets in real time. CO₂ saving values emissions generated by recharging at ORBIS chargers. This information makes it possible to quantify the positive environmental impact of electrification and facilitates sustainability reporting for companies committed to the energy transition.
With these solutions, the electrification of delivery fleets becomes a scalable, efficient process aligned with sustainability and corporate responsibility objectives.
