Electric fleet solution platform Synop is partnering with EV manufacturer Lion Electric Co. on charging and energy management solutions integrated with LionBeat, Lion's advanced telematics offering.
"We're excited to partner with Synop to provide our customers with a market-leading energy management solution," said Marie Bedard, director of Lion Ecosystem. "This collaboration offers our customers a highly advanced energy management software that further builds upon Lion's robust Ecosystem portfolio."
By leveraging Synop's APIs, Lion is advancing its ecosystem offerings, seamlessly equipping electric school buses and commercial trucks with a single interface that allows clients to see all the data needed to manage their assets. According to the company, this empowers customers to efficiently manage infrastructure and make informed decisions that maximize uptime and minimize cost.

Additionally, Synop said its technology can provide Lion customers with added revenue through its advanced vehicle-to-grid (V2G) technology. By automating energy management that prioritizes charging at lower-cost, off-peak hours, Synop's software equips customers to sell that energy back to the grid at a higher price during peak hours from vehicles not in use.
"We are thrilled to be partnering with Lion," said Gagan Dhillon, Synop CEO. "Lion is a leader in the industry, and the combined offering will bring many advanced solutions to Lion customers, furthering both companies along our shared mission to get more commercial EVs on the road."
