Nextdriv is decision-support software for transit agencies, municipalities, and fleet operators. Simulate your real routes, right-size vehicles and chargers, and cut daily charging costs—before and after you commit capital.
A McGill University spin-off · Methods published in IEEE Access, Energy, and Applied Energy
The Platform
Measured Results
Up to 30% lower energy spend with optimized charging schedules.
Avoided on a simulated transit depot through coordinated charging.
Added service life with degradation-aware charging strategies.
What Nextdriv Does
Nextdriv models your fleet the way it actually runs — routes, schedules, weather, batteries, and electricity tariffs — then keeps optimizing after deployment. No black boxes: our models are peer-reviewed and published.
Test electrification scenarios on your own routes and walk into procurement with evidence instead of estimates.
Schedule every vehicle’s charging around energy prices, grid limits, and tomorrow’s service.
About Us
Our mission is to help operators achieve greater efficiency, cost savings, and environmental impact.
Why Nextdriv?
A consultant's study is static — it expires the day it's delivered. Nextdriv lets you test decisions on your own data before capital is committed, and keep testing as conditions change.
Most tools stop at planning or start after you've bought the assets. Nextdriv spans both, so the assumptions in your plan become the schedules in your depot.
Our optimization and battery-degradation models are published in IEEE Access, Energy, and Applied Energy — a methodology your procurement and engineering teams can defend.
Who We Serve
Transit
Electrify routes and depots with confidence — validated on real electric bus data.
Municipal
Meet climate targets without budget surprises, with numbers a council can defend.
Freight
Keep vehicles moving and charging costs down across depots and duty cycles.
Energy
Plan grid capacity and charging programs around real fleet load, not averages.
Pilot Program
We're partnering with a small number of fleets on structured pilots: you share routes, schedules, and electricity tariffs — we deliver a full electrification or charging-optimization analysis of your operation, typically within 8–12 weeks. You keep the results either way.
Bring one route, one depot, or your whole network. In 30 minutes we'll show you what evidence-based planning looks like on real data.
