ELMTRONICS and The Algorithm People, two of the North East’s leading electric vehicle specialists, have joined forces to provide a new way for vehicle operators to reduce costs and cut carbon emissions.

The partnership created a new way for businesses to decarbonise their fleets and provides a proven charging solution tailored to customers’ needs. 

The Algorithm People, based in Newcastle, are the leading EV optimisation experts while Co. Durham based Elmtronics are the UK’s largest installer of electric vehicle charging points.

Colin Ferguson, CEO of The Algorithm People, said: “We are excited to partner with Elmtronics, which has built a great reputation across the UK for providing high quality EV charging infrastructure.

“By working together, we can provide our clients accurate, expert advice on the electrification process. This includes planning which vehicles EVs can replace, as well as optimising the deployment and use of EVs and their charging infrastructure.”

The Algorithm People provide data-based analysis of a company’s vehicle operations, enabling them to pinpoint which vehicles and routes are best suited to electrification. Their software also optimises the use of EVs once they are deployed, helping customers to achieve the best possible return on investment.

Elmtronics provides intelligent EV charging infrastructure to some of the largest private and public sector organisations in the UK. Its solutions include load-balancing for charging multiple vehicles at the same time, along with user-friendly dashboards and management reports. 

Dan Martin, CEO of Elmtronics, said: “Accurate data analytics from The Algorithm People really helps to build the business case for adoption of EVs. It also provides further assurance that the charging infrastructure we provide is perfectly tailored to meet each client’s operational needs.” 

Furthermore, the agreement will enable Elmtronics to offer its customers a way to reduce costs and carbon emissions from their diesel and petrol-powered vehicles. Developed by The Algorithm People, My Transport Planner is a unique, web-based pay-as-you-go vehicle planning tool, which is ideal for operations where vehicles visit multiple sites per shift. By optimising route planning and vehicle utilisation, My Transport Planner can cut total fleet mileage by up to 20 per cent, translating into savings on fuel costs and emissions.

“Deploying My Transport Planner is the first step towards creating a decarbonisation road map,” said Colin Ferguson. “It generates substantial savings which can then be reinvested in EVs, creating a virtuous cycle of reductions in emissions and overheads.”
