As of October 2017, Motiv-powered vehicles have driven more than 275,000 miles. In 2017 alone, they have covered more than 83,000 miles, saving nearly 300 barrels of oil from consumption.

According to Motiv, the company and its technology have grown significantly since starting its mission to free fleets from fossil fuels in 2009, growing by 200% in the past year.

Motiv’s all-electric powertrain uses an innovative architecture that is scalable and modular, which allows for the use of the same core components in vehicles ranging from a Type A school bus to a Class 8 refuse truck. The company's ruggedized automotive grade power electronics allow it to independently manage off-the-shelf commercial battery packs, electric motors, and auxiliary systems on any commercial chassis.

Software modules allow for remote system upgrades, diagnostics, and schedule preventative maintenance.

Applications using the Motiv all-electric powertrain include zero-emission school buses, shuttle buses, delivery trucks, work trucks, and even a refuse truck.

Turning Connected Vehicle Data Into Decisions That Matter

Fleet leaders have more data than ever, but turning that data into clear, actionable decisions remains a challenge. This white paper shows how leading organizations are using connected vehicle data to improve safety, reduce costs, and optimize fleet performance. Learn how to turn insight into action across your fleet.

Are You Tracking Your Fleet's True Total Cost of Ownership?

Bobit Business Media surveyed 190 fleet professionals and found that while most fleets are tracking costs, fragmented systems and data gaps are keeping true TCO visibility out of reach. With rising pressure to control spend in an increasingly volatile environment, the gap between what fleets think they know and what the data actually shows is wider than you might expect. See how your peers are managing costs today and where the industry still has room to improve.
