Introduction

Our system is through 4G.

Then we do not have the real-time information available. As soon as the truck drives out, or as soon as it has access to 4G, it will quickly upload the data to the cloud. So it stores the data and it uploads it when it has a connection.

Positioning accuracy can vary. In general, our system is not made to have extremely precise positioning. Our system is more based on the fact that you rent out a truck to a customer and you want to make sure it’s still there.

We focus on li-ion. And the system helps to sell the advantages of li-ion.

For bigger projects we can discuss to put on lead acid, contact your EP sales representatives for more information.

No. We do not offer this system on IC trucks, unfortunately. We are offering more insights with Li-ion technology and we keep doing so to help more operators go electric.

Generally, step one is to connect to the lithium-ion batteries. Step two is to connect to the Zapi controller. At the moment, only the truck that has a Zapi controller is connected to the system. It can be equipped on all trucks with li-ion batteries and Zapi controllers.

Yes. All our max range lithium trucks produced are using Zapi controllers. At the moment, our data collection point is Zapi controllers.

The system is connected and placed on the battery. And because the BMS of the battery is connected to the controller, we have all the information that is available on these to controllers. So we can measure the power usage of the truck, which gives an indication of how intensively the truck is being used. So we can not measure the load, we can monitor the power usage of the lift motor.

To know if this truck is being used heavily, we monitor the usage of the lift- and drive motor. When you look at the graphic with the dark and the green parts, the light green means that in this time the truck has been used for less than half an hour / there has been a motor running in this time for less than half an hour. The dark green parts means it has been used intensively.

Both. When you look at the data we get from the system, you can download excel information, which you can then pivot or use in any kind of calculations. We have different style of data collection and showing you different graphics, which you can export into a power point to your customer.

The highlight is to show it to your customer in real time. You can use screen shots to bring the key messages to your customer. We mainly use the excel reports for the aggregated data, like working hours. Both factors can be combined to make a nice report to your customer.

For the card system please see the manual on this. There are different kinds of cards. In general the system works like the key of your car. One card for one truck. For two trucks you need a 2nd card. For one truck multiple cards can be activated.

The second option is a card which has access to every EP truck with this system.

Several drivers will have access to the same machine and the machine will record which driver is on the truck. When you log on to this machine, the truck will know you as a driver. It will start and monitor that you have been driving that machine.

No. The key, once assigned to a truck, from that moment belongs to that truck. You program this yourself. You will get a master card. Once you swipe your master card and then your driver card, this key belongs to this truck. You cannot assign this key to another truck anymore. The key is inexpensive. Order a new key if you need.

This is your choice, also depending on local privacy regulations. We only provide a key tag with a number on it. You can see the aggregated data. The fleet manager can know which driver is having which number, so you can know which person has been driving this machine.

The system has no limitations.

In general, the more data you collect, the better it gets. Because you have more to compare with and you can balance the usage of all trucks.

The telematics system has no problem with it. When the truck is working, the telematics system is working as well.

No. At the moment, we focus on the sales promotion side of fleet management and the promotion of lithium-ion technology. We might offer this as well in the future.

There is a yearly subscription. The end user price for the system at EP equipment is 599 euros. This comes with a 5-year plan included for Europe.

There are three zones worldwide. We put the right SIM card in for every zone. Wherever you are, you will get the truck with the SIM card and the software, which is ready to work. Contact your sales contact for more information on your region.

You can contact your EP representative to get the TCO template and export the telematics data to excel. You can then use these excel formats to add your monthly cost for the truck and make your calculations and graphics to your customers. We are happy to help you with optimizing the excel export. We take in extra ideas on how we can optimize our system further. It would be great if you would share your customer reports as good examples.

Yes. In general it can be installed on all truck models after mid. 2019. You can buy this system separately. It’s very simple to install the system. For example you can use it for your demo´s. After the demo you can easily plug out the system from the truck and use it on your next demo machine or new rental machine.

It’s 599 euros. Installation takes approximately 15 minutes. And of course it needs to be activated and assigned to the online account.

After the trucks are assigned to the right account, you can just log in to the system, click through the menu and use it. Be careful because you can change the parameters on trucks. You can pull reports. The system is more focused on the dealer and less focused on the operator.

No, the data is stored in the cloud. We don´t have private options to do this at the moment.

We do have the Bluetooth app. You need to be close to the truck to get the connections. There´s no data uploaded into the cloud.

There´s not much you can do against sabotage. You can see the last time the customer has logged on. If there is no logon for longer time, you know the system is not having a connection which might either be caused by no 4G (and GPS) connection or the system is sabotaged.

There is a way to bypass the system.

You could decide to put the antenna under the bonnet so they don´t see it. Just check that you still have 4G connection.
