Through Combient Foundry, and our relationship with Scania, we are demonstrating how machine learning technology deployed both on- and off-vehicle can provide fleet operators and drivers with essential insights regarding their planned journeys.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">The Combient Foundry connects fast-growing start-ups and scale-ups with multi-national, large corporations through pilot schemes, opening opportunities for supplier or partner relationships. The initiative leverages technical expertise with business strategy and enterprise, opening access to new markets and customers.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">Erik Br\u00e5vander said: \u201cCombient Foundry helps quicken the time to market of new innovations and means companies can work together to help our customers shape their electrification strategies. Ultimately, it can be a catalyst to the transition that Scania and the transport industry must make to achieve a sustainable transport system.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"field field-name-field-web\"><span class=\"inner\"> <a href=\"https:\/\/sparkevtechnology.com\/spark-ev-technology-works-with-scania-to-gain-vital-insights-and-accelerate-commercial-vehicle-electrification%ef%bf%bc\/\">Read more<\/a> <\/span><\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Source <a href=\"https:\/\/greenfleet.net\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">https:\/\/greenfleet.net\/<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div class=\"w-post-elm post_content\">\n<h1 style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/advancedfleetmanagementconsulting.com\/eng\/who-we-are\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong>KNOW WHO WE ARE<\/strong><\/a><\/h1>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/advancedfleetmanagementconsulting.com\/eng\/who-we-are\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-11695\" src=\"https:\/\/advancedfleetmanagementconsulting.com\/eng\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2021\/07\/AFMC4000-300x150.jpg\" sizes=\"(max-width: 430px) 100vw, 430px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/advancedfleetmanagementconsulting.com\/eng\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2021\/07\/AFMC4000-300x150.jpg 300w, https:\/\/advancedfleetmanagementconsulting.com\/eng\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2021\/07\/AFMC4000-1024x512.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/advancedfleetmanagementconsulting.com\/eng\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2021\/07\/AFMC4000-1536x768.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/advancedfleetmanagementconsulting.com\/eng\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2021\/07\/AFMC4000-2048x1024.jpg 2048w\" alt=\"\" width=\"430\" height=\"215\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h1 style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>KNOW THE FLEET MANAGEMENT YOUTUBE CHANNEL<\/strong><\/h1>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/channel\/UCOPw2rdwSEA0iIapSs0fHJw\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-13320 size-full aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/advancedfleetmanagementconsulting.com\/eng\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2022\/03\/AFMT4000-scaled.jpg\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/advancedfleetmanagementconsulting.com\/eng\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2022\/03\/AFMT4000-scaled.jpg 2560w, https:\/\/advancedfleetmanagementconsulting.com\/eng\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2022\/03\/AFMT4000-300x150.jpg 300w, https:\/\/advancedfleetmanagementconsulting.com\/eng\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2022\/03\/AFMT4000-1024x512.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/advancedfleetmanagementconsulting.com\/eng\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2022\/03\/AFMT4000-1536x768.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/advancedfleetmanagementconsulting.com\/eng\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2022\/03\/AFMT4000-2048x1024.jpg 2048w\" alt=\"\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1280\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Spark EV Technology is working with Scania and Combient Foundry in a pilot to prepare trucking companies and fleet owners for the transition to electric.
