Australian start-up crunches the numbers on electric trucks for companies stuck on diesel

▤ Summary

Eco Route Advisory showcased a software tool that models electric prime mover range and charging feasibility for freight operators, aiming to remove uncertainty from diesel-to-electric transitions. The start-up received a $440,000 grant from ARENA and demonstrated the model at TruckShowX while recruiting candidates for real-world testing. The tool factors in payload, battery state and age, route incline, speed limits and dwell times, and has been validated against journeys and multiple electric truck brands. Using the model can cut operator costs and inform charging-infrastructure planning compared with expensive live trials.
