Company profile

researched Aug 2026

Volteum operates a software platform for managing electric and mixed-powertrain vehicle fleets. It connects directly to vehicles through original equipment manufacturer (OEM) application programming interfaces rather than installed telematics devices, so no hardware, installation appointments or vehicle downtime are required. Once connected, each vehicle streams data into a single interface covering mileage, fault codes, charging sessions, maintenance intervals and costs, spanning battery-electric, diesel, petrol and hybrid vehicles in one view.

Functionality described by the company includes live charging cost breakdowns by session and location, fault codes surfaced as they appear, maintenance due dates derived from live odometer readings, and tracking of home charging sessions to support driver reimbursement. The company states that support covers more than 30 OEM brands via certified direct API integration and that most fleets go live within days of signing. Volteum also publishes educational content on fleet electrification topics, such as mixed fleet visibility without hardware and the UK EV Grant.

Business model

Volteum sells a software platform to fleet operators, positioning the absence of installed hardware as the basis for cost savings versus traditional telematics; the company cites savings of up to £500 per vehicle relative to traditional telematics installation and up to £600,000 per depot in avoided capital expenditure.

Traction

Volteum reports support for more than 30 OEM brands via direct API integration and states that most fleets are live within days of signing. It won the Best Fleet Software Award 2025 at the Business Car Awards.

Latest developments

The company's news feed reports a €2.5 million raise intended to accelerate its work on mixed fleet operations, alongside its Best Fleet Software Award 2025 win at the Business Car Awards and published guidance on the UK EV Grant 2025.
