Transport & Fleets

Configurable auxiliary power control and circuit data for buses and fleet vehicles.

The challenge

Every hour off the road costs you.

Since July 2025, only zero-emission buses can be bought for New Zealand public transport. Battery-electric buses still carry an auxiliary system, and every added load needs designing in.

Unplanned downtime

Electrical faults pull vehicles out of service at short notice, disrupting schedules and routes.

Battery drain and ad-hoc wiring

Parasitic loads and years of add-on wiring flatten batteries and make faults hard to trace.

Poor visibility

Without circuit-level records, intermittent electrical faults can be hard to reconstruct.

How Hardwire helps

Configurable auxiliary power control for buses.

Configurable protection

Per-circuit electronic protection, set to suit each load and cable, within an engineered design.

Parked-load control

Supports configured shedding of approved non-essential loads to help protect battery reserve.

Circuit data

Current and fault data for connected, monitored circuits.

Diagnostic logs

Logged output data for investigation.

Typical applications

Where it’s used on the bus.

Candidate 24 V auxiliary circuits on buses and fleet vehicles. Each circuit is checked for current, inrush and cable rating, within the OEM’s electrical design.
