Evenergi provides Software and consultancy services to implement and optimize zero emissions transport fleets and networks for automotive manufacturers, governments, municipalities, fleet operators and charging infrastructure providers.
In their tool called BetterFleet, they provide a plethora of services to all the stakeholders, wherein, stakeholders can select suitable electric or lower emission vehicles from the list of vehicles available in the market.

Evenergi also has solutions for Energy & Charging infrastructure planning, fleet analytics (forecasting & accounting emissions, battery use, KPIs etc.) and provide complete energy solutions for Bus Depots.
Evenergi will be acquiring an 80% equity in Snel Charge India, part of the Chemi Tech Group, which specializes in Electric Vehicle Charging Infrastructure management, civil & electrical infrastructure management and O&M operations.

The company will be focusing on acquiring clients like municipalities, state transport agencies, automotive manufacturers, city transport corporations, public sector units and distribution companies. The companies partners use the BetterFleet platform to enable the leasing out the entire bus fleet to the stakeholders, thereby, reducing their requirements of high initial capex
This will encourage more & more organizations to switch to E-mobility. Speaking on occasion, Daniel Hilson, Founder of Evenergi remarked, “The Indian market is fully committed to zero emissions transport future, and we are excited to be working a strong local partnership to help to accelerate this change, bringing world best practice software and experience with major transit authorities, operators , municipalities and OEMs and then work with a fantastic local partner and our new local staff to ensure that the solutions work in the highly challenging and unique Indian context”.
