Electric vehicles are revolutionizing mobility, and electrified fleets are where the real magic is happening. The global shift towards electric vehicles (EVs) is driven by increasing climate change awareness and stringent emissions regulations. EVs not only help in achieving climate crisis goals but also offer lower running costs and benefit from government incentives.

EV fleet management, in a nutshell, is the coordination of electric vehicles to optimize their efficiency, maintenance, and usage. The main objectives of EV fleet management are to minimize environmental impact, reduce operational costs, and improve the overall effectiveness of the fleet.

As the logistics industry continues to evolve towards sustainability and technological innovation, Roadcast is at the forefront of effective and innovative EV fleet management, supercharging the efficiency of electric fleets.

As a leading automotive technology inventor in India, Roadcast operates on a significant scale. Since its establishment in 2016, Roadcast has consistently pushed the boundaries with its advanced logistics solutions, providing businesses with the tools to enhance efficiency, reduce costs, and minimize environmental impact. With a robust presence across India and overseas and serving over 300 enterprises with 2,50,000 vehicles and 60,000 drivers, Roadcast is redefining logistics management on a global scale.

With a tech-first approach, Roadcast offered Advanced Technology Solutions for EV fleet management. A few of these key services are:

GPS tracking and Real-time Monitoring: Through advanced GPS tracking and real-time monitoring, Roadcast provides EV fleet managers with a bird's-eye view of their entire fleet. This enables them to efficiently allocate resources, optimize routes, and respond swiftly to emergencies. By streamlining communication between dispatchers and receivers, Roadcast ensures that critical information is relayed promptly, allowing for quicker response times and improved situational awareness. In addition to this, connectivity is key to achieving logistics. Today, the consumer not only expects but also demands swift, timely, and trackable deliveries. To ensure that this happens seamlessly, all stakeholders must have access to real-time tracking. Roadcast’s platform excels in providing real-time tracking and monitoring of EV fleets. Utilizing state-of-the-art GPS technology, the platform delivers precise location data, vehicle status, and driver behavior analytics.
Face Recognition Software: One of the most advanced AI video telematics solutions, this software empowers fleets with AI-based video telematics, increasing safety. Rapidly capturing incidents, preempting risks, and optimizing coaching for unmatched driver and business protection, this software is a must for fleet management. By employing a combination of biometric and data-driven techniques, these systems accurately recognize and differentiate between authorized drivers, offering a range of benefits. It also helps in monitoring driver behavior and ensuring compliance with safety regulations. By leveraging AI for driver identification, Roadcast enhances the overall security and accountability of fleet operations. 6/10 accidents can be prevented through these AI-powered video analytics.
Integration with Financial Solutions: To support the widespread adoption of EVs, Roadcast has partnered with Mufin Green Finance, India's first listed NBFC, with a committed focus on electronic vehicle (EV) financing. This collaboration is facilitating the leasing of electric three-wheelers (E3Ws) equipped with Roadcast’s GPS technology. The advanced IoT systems in these vehicles are enabling close monitoring and data analysis. This strategic collaboration aims to revolutionize the electric vehicle (EV) market in India by integrating advanced IoT systems into the cars leased by Mufin Green Finance. Roadcast’s advanced technology is helping financiers predict and identify non-performing assets and riders who may default on payments. The analytics capabilities are also providing insights into the performance of OEMs and helping financiers make informed decisions.
Route Optimization: Route optimization is the backbone of timely, last-mile deliveries. Roadcast helps businesses optimize delivery routes, taking into account factors such as traffic conditions, delivery windows, and vehicle battery levels. This not only reduces travel time and fuel consumption but also maximizes the operational range of electric vehicles, making them more efficient and reliable for logistics operations.
Fleet Management and Predictive Maintenance: With the data available due to end-to-end visibility and connectivity, Roadcast is facilitating advanced vehicle diagnostics and predictive maintenance. By continuously monitoring vehicle health and performance metrics, Roadcast is helping businesses predict potential issues before they lead to breakdowns, thereby minimizing downtime and maintenance costs.
GPS-Enabled Container Locks: The consumer today is not limited by the region they live in. Goods for commerce and personal use navigate oceans to reach consumers. These long transits require effective systems for the safe movement of goods, and Roadcast addresses this with its GPS-enabled container locks. These smart locks provide real-time tracking of containers, ensuring that goods are secure and can be monitored throughout their journey. This technology is particularly beneficial for high-value shipments, providing an additional layer of security and peace of mind for businesses.

Roadcast is helping EV fleet managers identify patterns and trends that can inform strategic decisions. For example, by analyzing usage data, managers can identify underutilized vehicles and reallocate resources more effectively, maximizing productivity and reducing costs. By providing businesses with the tools they need to manage their EV fleets more effectively, Roadcast is helping drive the transition to greener, more efficient logistics operations.
