Karlsruhe, Chesapeake, Va. / Spokane, Wash., October 26, 2023.

Clark County Public Transit Benefit Area (C-TRAN) has partnered with CarMedialab, a member of the INIT group, to deliver efficiency-boosting software solutions for its electric vehicle fleet. Having added ten new all-electric buses to its fleet, C-TRAN has taken a major step toward achieving its goal of a completely zero-emission fleet by 2040.

“Sustainability is at the core of who we are as a public transportation provider, and battery-electric buses are crucial to our zero-emission future. We’re excited to partner with INIT and CarMedialab to improve the performance of these vehicles, and the experience for our riders“, says Eric Florip, Manager of Communications and Marketing, C-TRAN.

Efficient fleet maintenance through proactive bus care

CarMedialab’s vehicle monitoring system, MOBILEvhm, will enable C-TRAN to actively monitor the health of its entire bus fleet, including both diesel and electric buses. MOBILEvhm identifies potential vehicle issues and sends alerts to the relevant staff, ensuring more efficient fleet maintenance through proactive bus care. This support is particularly valuable for electric buses, a vehicle type where technical experience is still restricted.

Driver assistance system for more energy-efficient driving

With the utilization of CarMedialab's driver assistance system, MOBILEefficiency, C-TRAN bus drivers will have an onboard tool for more energy-efficient driving. This proactive tool helps them to significantly reduce energy usage and therefore extends the remaining range. In addition the system will also enhance passenger comfort by ensuring smoother rides.

The collaboration between C-TRAN, INIT, and CarMedialab is a significant testament to their commitment to creating a sustainable and efficient future for public transportation in the Vancouver-Portland region. By embracing electric buses and introducing these new technologies, C-TRAN will improve service quality for its passengers while minimizing its environmental impact.
