Trakm8 awarded contract extension with Shell

Telematics and data provider Trakm8 announced on Wednesday that it had been awarded an extension to an existing contract with Shell to expand the development of its smart charging solution.

The AIM-traded company said the contract extension would provide Shell with the capability to manage and optimise the charging of electric vehicles, initially for the US market.

“Trakm8's optimisation business, Route Monkey, has been working with Shell since 2013,” said executive director John Watkins.

“This contract extension builds on the research and development work over the last four years, leading to commercialisation of the solution.

“This contract extends the ongoing work to cover this financial year and creates a framework for continued collaboration.”
