Bivab selects FleetControl for its next on-board IT System
21 August 2024
Bivab, currently consisting of 35 bus companies who are also owners in Bivab, were looking for a high-performing IT solution which could easily be integrated with other systems and deliver benefits for both the bus operators and Bivab’s central organization.
Triona is very proud that Bivab selected us as the main supplier of its new “onboard IT system” solution for their bus companies. The system will be installed and ready for two new routes in June 2025. The delivery will therefore take place during the spring. Initially this solution will be deployed in ca 80 buses.
FleetControl will provide Bivab with a solution which will:
1. Collect and aggregate data from both the buses and the systems connected to FleetControl. The data is then made available in real time for the systems that require it, both on the bus and externally. One example is a passenger counting system which helps the operator understand passenger volume on the different routes at different times and locations.
2. Enable even more environmentally friendly driving by giving direct feedback via the driver screen in the instrument panel. This makes for a more comfortable ride for passengers and lower energy use for the bus operators.
3. Start the heating automatically on the bus is if it is cold outside. This is done before the scheduled start so that the inner temperature is comfortable for the driver and passengers when it goes out in traffic.
Christer Pettersson CEO for Bivab commented on the deal: “With Triona we have found a supplier who is responsive to our requirements and who has in our opinion the best solution on the market”. FleetControl makes no demands on who will supply any external systems. That is up to the customer.
Lars Ericsson, business responsible for FleetControl, continues: “Bivab is a perfect customer for us and our system. They want to have a joint base solution for their bus operators, but it is also important to be able to customize the solution depending on the bus operator’s requirements and preferences.
