The Challenge
A scalable cloud platform for the next generation of sustainable public transport.
Our client provides energy management solutions to public transport companies transitioning to electric vehicle fleets, supporting cities and operators as they modernise transit infrastructure and meet emissions-reduction targets.
Managing charging schedules, energy trading, and battery usage across multiple depots demands real-time data and intelligent automation at every level. Through a strategic partnership with Qubiz, the client has built a scalable cloud platform designed to power the next generation of sustainable public transport at national scale.
The Strategy
Vehicle data, charging infrastructure and energy trading in one system.
Qubiz designed and built a cloud-based Energy Management System for electric public transport fleets, architected for multisite deployment across numerous locations nationwide.
Continuous visibility and control
The platform integrates vehicle data, charging infrastructure, and energy trading logic into a single mission-critical system, giving operators continuous visibility and control over their fleets.
Trading tied to fleet activity
Charging flexibility is calculated dynamically against bus timetables and operational constraints, ensuring power is bought and distributed in the most efficient way possible.
Built for nationwide rollout
A cloud-native architecture supports deployment across many locations from a single platform — the same system serves one depot or dozens, with no compromise on consistency.
Reliability as a baseline
Engineered for high availability and secure operations, with a performance-focused stack chosen specifically for real-time workloads, because public transport cannot afford downtime.
What We Built
Real-time energy monitoring
The platform delivers live insights into energy consumption, battery status, and charging activity across the fleet. Operators can monitor performance continuously and intervene the moment conditions change, turning raw operational data into smarter day-to-day decisions.
Optimised bus charging and energy trading
Charging flexibility is calculated dynamically against bus timetables and operational constraints, and purchased power is routed to individual buses as needed. This connects energy trading directly to fleet activity, ensuring power is bought and distributed in the most efficient way possible.
Cloud-based multisite scalability
A cloud-native architecture supports deployment across many locations from a single platform, giving the client a foundation built for nationwide rollout. The same system serves one depot or dozens, with no compromise on consistency or control.
Mission-critical performance and security
The platform is engineered for high availability and secure operations, with a performance-focused stack chosen specifically for real-time workloads. Reliability is treated as a baseline requirement, not a feature, because public transport cannot afford downtime.
The Results
A foundation built for national scale.
- Real-time. Live insights into energy consumption, battery status, and charging activity across the fleet.
- Dynamic. Charging flexibility calculated against timetables, with purchased power routed to individual buses as needed.
- Multisite. Cloud-native deployment across many depots from a single platform, ready for nationwide rollout.
- Mission-critical. High availability and secure operations engineered for real-time, always-on workloads.
In Their Words
“Meeting the energy and charging challenges of electric public transport at national scale requires more than new vehicles. It requires intelligent, cloud-based infrastructure built for real-time decision-making.”

Frequently asked questions
01What does the Energy Management System do?
It integrates vehicle data, charging infrastructure, and energy trading logic into a single mission-critical platform, giving operators real-time visibility and control over electric bus fleets.
02How is charging optimised?
Charging flexibility is calculated dynamically against bus timetables and operational constraints, and purchased power is routed to individual buses as needed — connecting energy trading directly to fleet activity.
03Can it scale beyond a single depot?
Yes. The cloud-native architecture supports deployment across many locations from a single platform, so the same system serves one depot or dozens, built for nationwide rollout.
04How is reliability handled?
The platform is engineered for high availability and secure operations with a performance-focused stack chosen for real-time workloads, because public transport cannot afford downtime.
