Cleo, a Hydro-Québec subsidiary specializing in electric vehicle fleet charging, is proud to have signed an agreement with Videotron. The telecommunications company, which already operates nearly 200 electric vehicles in Montreal, will be able to optimize the performance of its fleet.
Cleo’s smart platform can generate charging plans that are adapted to the needs of electric vehicles. Each EV gets enough charge for its route while power demand is lessened for the charging site, which helps reduce the company’s energy costs.
“Cleo is proud to work with Videotron to ensure optimal and dynamic charging for its fleet. We are delighted to help the company fully benefit from the advantages of electrifying its fleet by applying energy efficiency principles. This collaboration perfectly aligns with our mission to support fleet operators from all sectors to successfully navigate their transition.” - Jeff Desruisseaux, CEO of Cleo
Through Videotron’s future feedback, Cleo will be able to create even better charging plans and offer features that are adapted to the specific needs of service fleet operators. In addition, learnings will be made about opportunities to reduce energy consumption during peak periods for these types of operations to limit the impact that a large number of EVs could have on Hydro-Québec’s grid.
"By adopting a fleet of electric vehicles, Videotron is actively participating in the decarbonization of transportation in Quebec and in the implementation of a sustainable economy. We are proud to be among the first companies to make a concrete contribution to this transformation, and Cleo's expertise will certainly help us make this transition a success." - Pierre Karl Péladeau, President and Chief Executive Officer of Québecor
