New: Depot Sharing Now in Tenix Charge

Depot Sharing Now in Tenix Charge

Tenix’s new Depot Sharing feature makes it easier for operators to share charging infrastructure with external fleets, maximizing infrastructure use while maintaining operational control. By enabling Depot Sharing in Tenix Charge, operators can unlock new value from existing assets without introducing additional complexity into daily operations.

The Energy as a Service module supports controlled access, transparent reporting, and simple administration for charging external fleets. With Depot Sharing in Tenix Charge, existing internal processes remain unchanged, ensuring that core operations are not disrupted. External charging is managed entirely within the platform, removing manual steps and eliminating the need for multiple systems.

Operators can decide exactly how and when their infrastructure is shared. By managing all activity through the same system that runs daily charging operations, bus services remain the clear priority. This is a key advantage of Depot Sharing in Tenix Charge: sharing capacity without introducing operational uncertainty.

Share Capacity Without Adding Complexity

External vehicles are authorised through vehicle identifiers already recognised by the charging infrastructure, such as BMS IDs or RFID tags. Operators can use the identification method that best fits their operational model. Once a vehicle is whitelisted, it is recognised automatically by the charger and allowed to charge according to the defined rules.

Within Depot Sharing in Tenix Charge, each external group is managed at the company level, ensuring consistent access control across the organisation. Operators retain full control over which chargers are shared, during which hours, and under what conditions. This ensures that core fleet operations are always protected.

In practice, depot sharing starts with defining available chargers and time windows. A B2B agreement is then established with the partner company, and all charging sessions are automatically captured. These sessions can be exported as billing files for invoicing, making Depot Sharing in Tenix Charge a streamlined solution for both operations and finance.

Importantly, internal workflows remain unchanged. There is no need to reconfigure existing processes, which lowers the barrier to adopting depot sharing.

Clear Reporting for Reimbursement and Settlement

Every charging session involving an external vehicle is automatically identified and included in monthly reports. These reports provide full transparency on energy consumption, session details, and associated costs.

With Depot Sharing in Tenix Charge, operators can:

• Recover energy costs from partner fleets
• Provide documentation for PTA reimbursement workflows
• Strengthen tender responses with proven infrastructure utilisation
• Generate additional income during low utilisation periods

Sessions remain correctly tagged even when vehicles move between groups, ensuring consistent and auditable records over time.

Key Functionalities

External Vehicle Group management
Admins can create groups for affiliated companies or employee vehicles and assign vehicle identifiers used for authorisation. Each identifier belongs to one group at a time to maintain clean access control.

Charger and time-based authorisation
Operators define exactly which chargers can be shared and the charging hours during which external vehicles are permitted. This ensures operational priorities are protected at all times.

Flexible vehicle authorisation
Charging authorisation works with the identification methods preferred by the operator, enabling hassle-free access without changing existing depot processes.

Monthly reporting
Reports provide all relevant data for settlement, internal review, or invoicing.

A Practical, Sustainable Model for Shared Depot Operations

Depot Sharing in Tenix Charge gives operators a straightforward way to open their infrastructure to external fleets while maintaining full control. By sharing capacity when buses are not in use, operators make better use of existing chargers and grid connections rather than expanding infrastructure.

This approach supports sustainability goals that are increasingly important to regulators and public transport authorities, while preserving operational stability. It also positions operators to participate in a broader ecosystem where infrastructure is shared across transport and logistics sectors.

By managing access, control, and reporting in one system, Depot Sharing in Tenix Charge simplifies what has traditionally been a complex process. The result is a more efficient, flexible depot that can generate additional value without compromising reliability.
