Data at the Centre
of Our Approach
At the centre of our development activities is our real-time vehicle operations database. This allows us to provide reliable performance for a variety of applications and equipment.
To date, we have collected over 800,000 hours of data. By combining this information with our artificial intelligence algorithms, we are able to predict the route used by vehicles to optimize their energy efficiency.
“As counter intuitive as it may seem, the best way to achieve heavy-duty truck electrification is by reducing the amount of energy on-board. This is only possible by predicting where the truck is heading.”
David Arsenault, President and co-founder of Effenco
Ultracapacitors
Ultracapacitors store energy and electrify the vehicle. Unlike lithium batteries, they are better suited for heavy-duty applications since they are recognized for their robustness, long service life and resistance to temperature fluctuations.
- Service life of 10+ years
- Acts as a battery
- Resists temperature variations
- Enables the electrification of new trucks as well as existing fleets
A Flexible and Adaptable Electrification Process
We offer a gradual electrification process to our customers.
They will be able to move from our Hybrid Electric technology to our Electric Powertrain to reduce their greenhouse gas emissions up to full electrification depending on the level of deployment of wireless charging station along their trucks route.
