Electric Fleet Operational Intelligence · UK Market
Know Which EV Missions Will Fail — Before Dispatch
PulseMotion uses physics-based energy modelling and adaptive SECU control logic to predict mission success before the vehicle leaves the depot — and builds a failure registry that gets smarter with every trip.

The Problem
EV fleets fail missions because energy consumption is unpredictable
Fleet managers planning electric vehicle routes are operating blind. Temperature drops, unexpected payload, stop-start traffic, and HVAC load combine in ways that generic range estimates cannot capture. The result: stranded vehicles, failed deliveries, and eroded confidence in fleet electrification.
🌡️
Cold Weather
UK winter temperatures reduce usable battery capacity by an estimated 5–15%. Standard range estimates ignore Peukert thermal effects entirely.
📦
Variable Payload
A 500 kg overload adds an estimated 8–12% to energy consumption. Fleet managers currently account for this by hand — or not at all.
🏔️
Terrain Impact
Hilly routes like the M62 or A1 can consume an estimated 30–40% more energy than flat motorway. Route planners rarely account for grade energy.
🔌
Auxiliary Drain
HVAC, lighting, and refrigeration loads are treated as fixed estimates. In practice, they vary by up to 5.5 kW depending on conditions and vehicle type.
The Solution
An operational intelligence layer that knows before you go
01
Fleet Registry
Every vehicle, battery capacity, payload spec, and health status tracked in a single registry. The foundation for accurate prediction.
02
EcoDrive Engine
Physics-based energy model calculating rolling resistance, aerodynamic drag, grade energy, HVAC load, and regenerative braking recovery — calibrated for UK roads and climate.
03
SECU Control Layer
Smart Energy Control Unit — adaptive rules that throttle HVAC, reduce auxiliary load, and maximise regen braking when reserve margins are tight.
04
Failure Intelligence
Every mission classified post-completion. Variance attributed to payload, thermal loss, or auxiliary drain. The dataset that makes predictions smarter over time.
The Intelligence Layer
Two engines. One decision.
PulseMotion is powered by two complementary systems that work together — one predicts, one acts. Understanding both is understanding the product.
🧠
EcoDrive
The Prediction Engine
EcoDrive answers one question before a vehicle moves: will this mission succeed? It does this using real physics — not a range estimate, not a rule of thumb.
🔄
Rolling Resistance
Tyre friction scaled to vehicle mass and payload. A heavier load costs more energy on every kilometre.
💨
Aerodynamic Drag
Air resistance scales with velocity squared. Motorway speeds are exponentially more expensive than urban.
🏔️
Grade Energy
Hill climbing costs. The M62 and A1 corridors can consume 30–40% more energy than flat routes.
🌡️
Peukert Thermal Correction
Cold weather restricts battery access. Below 10°C, EcoDrive applies ~0.5% capacity loss per degree — the factor no standard estimate accounts for.
🔌
HVAC Auxiliary Load
Cabin heating draws up to 5.5 kW continuously. On a 2-hour winter mission that's 11 kWh — a significant fraction of usable battery.
⚡
Regenerative Braking
Urban stop-start routes recover energy through braking. EcoDrive models regen recovery per terrain type.

A specific dispatch decision with the physics behind it
⚙️
SECU
Smart Energy Control Unit · Advisory Layer v1.0
Where EcoDrive predicts, SECU advises. It analyses pre-dispatch conditions and generates actionable recommendations — all dispatch decisions remain with your human operators.
Reserve below 15%
Recommend auxiliary power reduction
Reserve below 12%
Recommend HVAC throttle to minimum
Reserve below 10%
Flag mission HIGH RISK for dispatcher
Reserve below 5%
Recommend ABORT — charge first
SoC below 40% on grade
Recommend maximising regenerative braking
✅ Current: Assisted Mode (v1.0)
SECU surfaces recommendations. Your dispatcher approves every action. All decisions remain human.
🎯 Roadmap: Autonomous Mode (Phase 2)
SECU executes control actions directly via OEM API integration. Estimated Q3 2026 — requires operator trust calibration and hardware access.
Why the distinction matters
SECU v1.0 builds the trust and prediction accuracy needed for operators to graduate to autonomous mode. The advisory phase is not a limitation — it's the validation foundation.

🔒The data moat: After 200 missions, PulseMotion has a prediction model calibrated specifically to your vehicles, your routes, and your drivers. No competitor can replicate that accuracy without the same mission history.
EcoDrive vs SECU
Two different jobs. One platform.
The most common question: what's the difference? Here it is in plain terms.
🧠 EcoDrive
⚙️ SECU
What it does
Predicts energy consumption before the vehicle moves
Recommends actions to prevent failure — human dispatcher decides
EcoDrive result, live reserve %, SoC, terrain type, current HVAC
Output
GO / MARGINAL / HIGH RISK / ABORT decision
Recommendations: HVAC reduction · regen advice · charge first · abort flag
Who acts on it
The fleet dispatcher — before sending the vehicle out
The human dispatcher (v1.0 Assisted) — autonomous mode planned Phase 2
Simple analogy
A weather forecast before you leave the house
A co-pilot surfacing warnings — you still fly the plane
Together
EcoDrive stops bad missions before they start. SECU helps dispatchers save marginal ones.
Neither is enough without the other.
How It Works
From depot to delivery — in five steps
Every mission goes through the same intelligence loop. Here's what happens.
01
📋
Dispatcher enters mission
Vehicle, route, payload, conditions. Takes 30 seconds. No hardware needed.
02
🧠
EcoDrive runs the physics
Rolling resistance, drag, terrain, thermal correction, HVAC — calculated together instantly.
03
🎯
Dispatch decision issued
GO, MARGINAL, HIGH RISK, or ABORT — with the specific reason and recommended action.
04
⚙️
SECU monitors en route
If energy margins tighten mid-mission, SECU surfaces recommendations to the dispatcher — HVAC reduction, regen maximisation, or nearest charging point. Dispatcher approves each action.

Market Position
A new category between fleet tracking and vehicle intelligence
Every major player in EV and fleet intelligence leaves a gap. PulseMotion fills it.
Wayve / Tesla
Autonomous driving & vehicle intelligence Works inside a single manufacturer's ecosystem
Samsara / Motive
Fleet tracking & telematics Tells you where vehicles are and what fuel they used — not whether the mission will fail
PulseMotion
This Layer
Fleet energy reliability intelligence Predicts whether a mission will succeed before the vehicle leaves the depot
OEM Vehicle Layer
Battery management, motors, CAN bus Hardware — not software intelligence
Palantir
Data OS for defence & enterprise
Palantir ingests data from disparate systems and turns it into operational decisions — Gotham predicts which aircraft will fail before they fail. PulseMotion is inspired by this class of operational intelligence system, applied to the specific domain of EV fleet energy reliability.
Their gap: does not operate in fleet energy
Samsara
Fleet tracking · $20B market cap
Samsara tells fleet operators where their trucks are and how they're being driven. Valuable visibility — but no energy prediction, no pre-dispatch intelligence, no failure classification.
Their gap: tracks fleets, doesn't predict mission energy failure
Tesla Energy
Vehicle intelligence platform
Tesla's fleet telemetry is exceptional — but only for Tesla vehicles. A logistics company running Volkswagen eSprinters, Arrival vans, and BYD trucks has no equivalent intelligence layer.
Their gap: locked to Tesla hardware ecosystem
"PulseMotion is the fleet energy intelligence platform for UK electric vehicle operators — predicting mission failure before dispatch, preventing it en route, and building the dataset that makes every future prediction more accurate."
