Who it's for

Bus & Coach: Depot readiness

The depot fails at 2am. You hear about it at 05:40. A charger dropped its session at midnight and four buses start the day at 61%. It is not a driver problem or a charger problem. It is a visibility problem.

01 · The exposure

£14,000–£28,000 per bus. That is the unmonitored degradation bill.

£14K–£28K

Battery lifecycle

Unmonitored degradation per bus over the lifecycle. Non-uniform, route-dependent, invisible in an OEM summary.

15–25%

Charging waste

Of energy spend lost to charging inefficiency: unmanaged peaks, poor windows, failed sessions discovered at departure.

1→2→4

Cascading swaps

One low-charge bus at departure pulls a vehicle off another duty. The failure multiplies across the morning.

02 · The fix

Same fleet. Same buses. Different information.

ZAPPP Ops Pack

Ops Pack

Live SOC against your published schedule. Forecast 8–10 hours ahead. Overnight shortfalls flagged before they become morning crises. No hardware: starts on your OEM API.

See Ops Pack

ZAPPP EdgeAI

EdgeAI

On-vehicle battery intelligence: corrected SOC, state of health, degradation tracking, thermal anomaly detection. You see the £14K–£28K exposure forming instead of discovering it at replacement.

See EdgeAI

ZAPPP Depot

Depot

Charging orchestrated against readiness and tariff. The 2am session failure becomes an alert at 02:01, not a discovery at 05:40.

03 · Your numbers

£2.3M–£3.9M over 12 years. ZAPPP costs ~£180,000 over the same period.

A single prevented battery failure pays for three years of ZAPPP across the entire fleet. The degradation savings alone cover the subscription inside 12 months; the charging-efficiency recovery is on top.

04 · The objection

Your OEM will ask about the install. Here is the answer.

Contactless CAN clips. No cutting, splicing or soldering. Under 30 minutes per vehicle. Live in 48 hours. Zero warranty impact, and the installation specification exists precisely so your OEM can verify that. A fleet financier with strict asset-protection requirements chose ZAPPP for exactly this reason.

06 · Straight talk

ZAPPP is probably not right for you if…

…you are locked into an OEM data contract with more than 18 months remaining. We cannot read what the contract forbids. In that case: take the technical brief, diarise your renewal date minus six months, and talk to us then. We would rather wait for a good deployment than force a bad one.
