eMotion Fleet and UK-based Dynamon have entered into a sales partnership agreement to introduce Dynamon’s advanced fleet optimisation software ‘ZERO’ in Japan to accelerate Japanese fleet customers electrify their fleet.

eMotion Fleet was founded in 2023 by two founders with experience supporting large-scale electrification of commercial vehicles for one of Japan’s largest logistics companies, responsible for the last mile logistics in Japan. Based on its extensive hands-on experience, eMotion Fleet offers one-stop service to commercial customers in Japan and Asia for cost effective planning, deployment and operations of electric vehicle fleets.

Dynamon is a UK-based software company that specialises in developing advanced data analytics and simulation tools for commercial transport and logistics companies. With an expanding selection of EVs and more options for charging infrastructure, researching and trialling every possible solution is both time intensive and costly. Dynamon’s flagship software ZERO is designed to simplify the incredibly complex, large-scale electrification decisions, replacing it with advanced, data-driven simulation, analysis and modelling to ensure transport operations are as sustainable, efficient and cost-effective as possible before major investment decisions are made.

eMotion Fleet will utilise Dynamon’s ZERO to accelerate and standardise fleet electrification simulation process, such as identifying optimal EV and battery sizes depending on customer’s operational patterns, defining the rightsized charging and energy requirements, and comparing total cost of ownership between electric and diesel fleets. Main target customers will be fleet operators, charging infrastructure providers, fleet leasing companies and consulting companies.

Angus Webb, CEO of Dynamon, said: "It is our mission to bring advanced data analytics software tools, powered by simulation, to the transportation industry. This is increasingly important as the shift to electric vehicles requires robust data analysis by fleets and suppliers to ensure cost effective solutions. Dynamon’s flagship tool, ZERO, simplifies the complex process of transitioning to electric vehicles, making it accessible and profitable for fleets of all sizes. We’re excited to announce our partnership with eMotion Fleet in Japan, which not only expands our global footprint but also advances our shared mission of promoting sustainable solutions in the commercial transport industry.”

Shuji Shiraki, CEO of eMotion Fleet, said: "Fleet electrification can be a highly complex equation among vehicles, batteries, charging, energy and driving patterns. Therefore, eMotion Fleet has been developing a standard methodology for fleet electrification based on founders’ hands-on experience of electrifying more than 23,000 units in Europe and Japan.”
