Fleets have been and will continue to be tasked with making the switch to zero emission vehicles. With a variety of options on the market, why not choose one with the lowest total cost of ownership? Typically, electrifying your fleet has been more expensive up front, but overtime has lower operating costs. But even when comparing EV to EV, Endera has still figured out how to make a quality EV and with the lowest cost of ownership.
Endera’s flagship B-Series bring comfort, cost savings, and confidence to your fleet's operation. We saw the problems fleets have adopting new shuttles, formatting their operation to fit their new vehicle. By working tirelessly with the fleet community we have built the first shuttle shaped directly around the needs of your operation. Here’s how.
Chassis
Building our new shuttle line from the ground up, we recognized the importance of consistency when transitioning your fleet vehicles. Endera’s B-series uses Ford’s E-450 chassis because of its best in class handling and is one of the most common cutaway chassis used for shuttle busses. While the dash may slightly change due to the electric power systems, the usability does not, allowing your drivers to comfortably control their vehicle like you never even switched.
Body
Each operation also must align the inside of their shuttle to match the needs of their riders. Your climate will be the most significant deciding factor, as vehicles subject to lots of water and salt will deteriorate more quickly. We help solve this problem and extend your shuttle’s life with a state-of-the-art composite shell. Composite bodies are light, durable, and each one is salt and water tested before installation. While some fleets are focused on maximizing ridership, others are focused on providing accessibility with ADA lifts or luggage racks for travelers. Endera offers several floorplan options and will help you decide which configuration brings satisfaction to your riders.
Range & Charging
Endera’s B-series comes with multiple battery options to ensure your fleet is always operating. With a 130-mile range, our B-Series shuttles accommodate the needs of most cutaway shuttle routes. Even if your current shuttle routes don’t fit an electric substitute, our team will work to optimize your routes to allow for EV usage without increasing the total number of vehicles in your fleet. Endera also offers several charging options for your vehicle, including a DC Wallbox 25KW charger or a DC Slimline 50KW charger. Each of these options will be adaptable to the available input of your infrastructure. And if you don’t have charging infrastructure ready, our team of contractors can help with that too!
Telematics
Total connectivity and control over your shuttle fleet and its data is essential to your fleet’s ability to operate within budget. Electric shuttles already bring massive savings in adopters’ maintenance costs, but the changes in drive cycles can be hard to track for fleet managers. Endera Go - Fleet Management software provides insights into your operation and allows you to predict and schedule maintenance easily. Endera’s network of local maintenance shops will be standing by, ready to do maintenance and repairs as recommended by the platform. The platform will give you greater connectivity to your vehicles. With live data and live insights, you can find weaknesses in your operation and improve your operation’s efficiency. Your riders will benefit from optimizing your fleet and their ability to interact with the fleet through the Endera Go app. Customizable to provide ride times, shuttle stops, and communication, the Go app is all your riders need to ride your shuttle confidently.
We take pride in our ability to deliver a high quality electric shuttle with low total cost of ownership for your fleet. Endera is committed to building solutions around your operation and guiding you through the thick of the electrification process.
