Win eBus Contracts with AI-Powered, Physics-Based Planning
Public transit tenders are increasingly competitive and complex. WideSense’s Tender Response service gives public transport operators an edge by delivering AI-powered, physics-based modeling for fleet, depot, and schedule optimization. We help you design an optimal operational plan for each eBus tender – one that meets all service requirements at the lowest possible cost – so you can submit bids with confidence.
Why Choose WideSense?
Our approach builds a high-fidelity digital twin of your proposed operations. This allows us to evaluate countless scheduling and charging scenarios in less time, using cloud-based AI optimization to explore what-if cases that would be impractical to analyze manually. By simulating your routes, vehicles, chargers, and depot constraints under real-world conditions, we eliminate the guesswork and excessive safety margins that often inflate costs.
With WideSense Tender Response, you can eliminate over-padding in schedules and charging plans. Instead of adding extra buses or buffer time “just in case,” our precise modeling ensures reliability without waste. The result is a leaner fleet and infrastructure plan that maximizes your competitiveness. You bid only what you truly need – no more, no less – which makes your proposal financially attractive while still completely achievable in operation.
Key Benefits
Evaluate More Scenarios, Faster
Our AI-powered simulations rapidly consider a vast number of operational scenarios (peak hours, weather variations, schedule changes, etc.) to find the optimal solution. This means you get a thoroughly vetted plan in days, not weeks, enabling you to respond to more tenders with the resources you have.
Optimized Fleet & Depot Sizing
WideSense pinpoints the minimum number of electric buses and charging required to meet service levels. By right-sizing fleets and infrastructure, we deliver significant CAPEX savings without compromising service quality.
Data-Backed Confidence
Every recommendation is backed by physics-based simulations and real-world data. From adaptive energy consumption to battery performance, our digital twin analytics provide hard evidence that your schedule and charging strategy will work. You can bid knowing your plan has been pressure-tested against real operational constraints.
Increased Operational Efficiency
Our holistic optimization (covering vehicle blocking, crew scheduling, charge timing, and tariff management) drives down OPEX. You benefit from efficient bus utilization, smart energy use, and streamlined labor deployment – all of which strengthen your bid’s cost-per-mile and reliability metrics.
Faster, Competitive Bids
Time is critical in tender responses. WideSense’s automated toolchain and expert consultants accelerate the planning process. We quickly turn tender requirements into an optimized operational design, so you can submit bids faster without sacrificing quality or detail. By answering tenders quickly and accurately, you gain a competitive edge in securing new contracts.
WideSense’s Tender Response service is built on the same advanced modeling foundation as our Operational Design offering, tailored specifically for eBus public transit bids. With this shared, field-proven technology, you get a partner that not only understands electric fleet operations, but also how to win business. Bid with confidence and win more tenders by leveraging WideSense’s AI-powered planning expertise for your next eBus contract opportunity.
Trusted by the World’s Largest Bus Operators
When we enter tenders saying we can reduce fleet size by almost 10% and significantly cut down on charging infrastructure because we have optimized planning, it makes us substantially more competitive. We win through tenders, and if we can’t perform well there, we risk losing business. WideSense’s technology helps us become more efficient, significantly boosting our competitiveness.
