Range confidence before rubber hits the road
EcoRoute simulates how battery electric trucks and powered trailers perform on your routes, and how much diesel you could save, before you invest.
Our Mission
Give freight operators, charge point operators and government the accurate, independent evidence they need to invest in electric trucks and charging infrastructure with confidence.
How EcoRoute works
Test the switch in a low-cost digital environment before you commit to vehicles or infrastructure.
-
Your route and vehicles
Choose any route in Australia and set up the truck, trailer and load you want to test, including battery electric trucks and powered trailers.
-
Run the simulation
We model the trip using real driving conditions, topography and vehicle characteristics to work out energy use along the way.
-
Get your results
See range, state of charge, charging needs and diesel savings, delivered in a slidepack ready to support your investment decision.
Who it’s for
-
Freight operators
Test battery electric trucks and powered trailers on your own routes before you buy.
- Route feasibility and range
- Charging stops and timing
- Diesel you could save
-
Charge point operators
Know where demand will be and build a business case for each site.
- Which sites to build first
- Number of bays and power needed
- Expected site utilisation
-
Government and policy makers
Independent, ARENA-backed evidence to plan networks and target investment.
- Charging network roll-out order
- Evidence for funding programs
- Diesel and emissions that can be avoided
What you can do
We combine engineering fundamentals with data science to give you fast, accurate answers.
-
Know if your route works
Route analysis
Check range and energy use for battery electric trucks and powered trailers on any route in Australia, in minutes, so there are no surprises on the road.
-
Find the best charging sites
Machine learning
Rank hundreds or thousands of candidate sites to see which to build first and in what order.
-
Size each site right
Discrete event simulation
Estimate charging demand, bays, power and site utilisation to support your business case.
Predicted first. Then driven.
We tested EcoRoute the hard way: every prediction was made before the truck drove the route, so the model couldn’t be tuned to fit the results afterwards.
95% average match between modelled and measured energy consumption (kWh) across 10 trips
-
1. We modelled the route
EcoRoute predicted the truck’s energy consumption for each trip before it was driven.
-
2. The route was driven
The truck then ran the route, and its real-world energy consumption was recorded.
-
3. We compared the results
Across 10 trips, modelled and measured energy use matched by 95% on average.
Independent analysis, backed by ARENA
Eco Route Advisory is supported by the Australian Renewable Energy Agency (ARENA). Our analysis is independent, so you get an unbiased view of what will work for your operation, network or program.
