Tracking your vehicle data in a telematics system to monitor your non-electric vehicles, such as Diesel or CNG buses, helps you increase efficiency, safety, and passenger comfort. It also reduces your fleet’s overall carbon footprint. Let’s explore these benefits and see why you might need a telematics system for your...

One of the biggest concerns for electric vehicle owners is battery degradation. It can have far-reaching consequences for owners and operators, eventually resulting in reduced energy capacity, efficiency, and a delay in the return on investment. The battery can make up 50% of the cost of an electric bus. Keeping...

Evolved from the traditional monolithic approach, ViriCiti’s system consists of multiple services that run in containerized Docker environments, utilizing Kubernetes as container orchestrator. This architectural style, called Microservices, has been actively debated on in the past few years and consists of the idea of decomposing a system into a collection...

The battery life of electric vehicles still presents a financial challenge for the electrification of the transport sector. That is why the Fraunhofer institute for Transportation and Infrastructure IVI, expert in the field of Lithium-ion batteries, and real-time electric vehicle data specialist ViriCiti, have started a unique collaboration. This collaboration aims to prolong battery...
