When continuous fleet monitoring surfaces something unexpected, the instinct is to question the data. Here’s why that moment is actually the most valuable one in the whole process. WHEN THE NUMBERS LOOK DIFFERENTThe monitoring devices have been running for a few weeks. The data is coming in. And some of it doesn’t match what you expected.A…

You ran the study. You sized the batteries. You made the call on chargers — maybe even moved toward lithium. The process was thorough. The recommendations were data-backed. You did exactly what you were supposed to do.So why does something still feel off?Maybe you added a shift since then. Maybe volume picked up faster than…

Battery issues don’t usually show up all at once. They build over time—through small habits, inconsistent charging, and patterns no one can really see. And by the time it shows up as downtime or battery failure… It’s already cost you. So the question isn’t: “Are our batteries working?” It’s: “Are we using them the right…

The Question Most Teams Are Actually Asking If you’re evaluating telematics for your warehouse, you’ve probably come across two different approaches: Forklift (truck) telematics Battery telematics At first glance, they sound similar. Both promise visibility. Both promise efficiency. But here’s the real question: Are you trying to monitor your equipment—or actually improve how your operation…

The Pitch You’ve Already Heard At some point in the last year or two, someone has made the case to you for lithium. Maybe it was a battery vendor at a trade show. Maybe it was your dealer during a renewal conversation. Maybe it was a colleague at another facility who made the switch and…

Are Electric Forklift Fleets Built for Peak Demand — or Daily Reality? Walk into almost any warehouse or distribution center and you’ll see a motive power fleet built for peak demand. Extra batteries. Extra chargers. Extra trucks. And in many cases, that configuration once made sense. But how often does your electric forklift fleet actually…

From Energy Data to Operational Intelligence Most fleets aren’t short on data. They’re short on the kind of visibility that actually tells them what to do with it. The Gap No Dashboard Fills Walk into almost any warehouse or distribution center and you’ll find data somewhere. Charge logs on the charger display. Battery cycle counts…

If you’re supporting fleets today, chances are they didn’t choose to become mixed.It just… happened.A new battery chemistry introduced to meet demand.A different charger deployed to solve a short-term problem.Incentive-driven upgrades layered onto legacy equipment.None of these decisions were wrong. In fact, most were necessary.What teams didn’t plan for was how quickly mixed fleet monitoring…

The California Air Resources Board (CARB) recently proposed several key changes to the Low Carbon Fuel Standard (LCFS) in an impact assessment report. The proposed amendments would increase the stringency of the LCFS and accelerate California’s push to carbon neutrality. This article provides an overview of the proposed amendments to the LCFS and explains how…

Canada’s Clean Fuel Regulations went into effect 1 July, 2023. In the past year, Canada has seen a significant improvement in charging infrastructure and financial incentives for owners of electric vehicles. This article explores the impacts of the CFR in the past year, focusing on changes in fuel pool composition and financial benefits for fleet…
