PTV Logistics wins Eco Performance Award for its PTV EV Truck Route Planner, advancing sustainable, data-driven fleet electrification solutions.

PTV Logistics, a global leader in innovative transportation and logistics solutions, was awarded the prestigious Eco Performance Award for its PTV EV Truck Route Planner at the Zero Emission Summit hosted by ETM Verlag. Held on November 5, this event brings together leaders in sustainable transport to recognise advancements driving a low-carbon future for logistics and transportation.

The PTV EV Truck Route Planner celebrated as a strategic planning tool for fleet electrification, addresses the unique route planning requirements for electric trucks and vans. It operates with specific vehicle models (>400) and realistic routes, considering varying loads, weather conditions, and route profiles. Charging scenarios can also be simulated within the tool to assess route feasibility. For logistics operators aiming to reduce emissions while maintaining productivity, the PTV EV Truck Route Planner is an essential resource. This award underscores PTV Logistics' commitment to sustainability and the application of logistics technology that supports both economic and environmental goals.

Proud winner of the Eco Performance Award

“We are incredibly honoured to receive the Eco Performance Award,” said Michael Hub-schneider, Senior Product Manager at PTV Logistics.

Our PTV EV Truck Route Planner helps establish fleet electrification on a data-driven foundation, advancing the sustainable, efficient and technology-focused future of logistics. This award reinforces our commitment to reducing CO2 emissions across the industry and supporting logistics professionals in making the transition to electric transport solutions smoother.

The Eco Performance Award at the Zero Emission Summit honours companies that demonstrate environmental responsibility, economic efficiency and social impact. The PTV EV Truck Route Planner by PTV Logistics sets new standards in sustainable route optimisation by using an extensive database of EV models to simulate scenarios for feasibility and cost. As the only tool of its kind currently available, it can be used across manufacturers without prior training and can calculate routes for entire fleet operations with a single click, distinguishing itself with its accuracy and user-friendliness.

Multiple solutions to support electromobility

Beyond the PTV EV Truck Route Planner, PTV offers many solutions to support electromobility: developers can calculate routes with the same vehicle models, a new version of the leading route planner PTV Map&Guide also supports all-electric vehicle models and in the highest category of route optimisation, PTV OptiFlow sets new standards for mixed fleets with electric vehicles.
