On-demand electric ride-share launched in Amsterdam
5th December 2019
Ride-share operator ViaVan has partnered with Shell to launch an on-demand electric service in Amsterdam.
The project will combine Shell’s fast-charging infrastructure in the Dutch capital with ViaVan’s electric vehicle fleet to improve routing information to available chargers nearby.
The company claims this includes a “routing algorithm” that maximises the range and battery utilisation of vehicles, monitors the real-time battery status of the fleet, calculates upcoming charging tasks and intelligently routes vehicles to Shell charging stations.
