Farm Trans wanted to optimize its transport planning while increasing the use of electric trucks throughout its fleet. Planners had to balance a wide range of factors, including vehicle capacity, charging infrastructure, driver regulations, delivery requirements and operational costs, making route planning a complex and time-consuming process.
Business Need: Farm Trans wanted to optimize its transport planning while increasing the use of electric trucks throughout its fleet. Planners had to balance a wide range of factors, including vehicle capacity, charging infrastructure, driver regulations, delivery requirements and operational costs, making route planning a complex and time-consuming process.
Solution: Together with Farm Trans, CAPE developed an advanced route optimization solution focused on solving the Vehicle Routing Problem (VRP). The platform combines routing algorithms, truck and charging data, mapping services and driver regulations to generate efficient and practical transport plans within minutes. The solution intelligently matches charging sessions with mandatory driver breaks, optimizes the allocation of orders to available vehicles and helps maximize the use of electric trucks while minimizing transport costs and unnecessary mileage.
Results:
