HyFLEET:CUTE Th e H y F L E E T : C U T E c h a l l e n g e : » i m p l e m e n t a n d m a n a g e a c o m p l e x d e m o n st r at i o n project spread across three continents« To successfully tackle this challenge, constant reliable recording and fast analysis of large data amounts with multiple variables under a manifold of conditions were required. The data was collected from the operation of 47 hydrogen powered public transport buses using fuel cells and internal combustion technology in ten cities worldwide. Challenge • Daily gathering of operational data (e.g. availabil- ity, fuel consumption, safety issues) for a com- plete real-life hydrogen technology demonstration • Distributed locations and different set-ups of infrastructure, in total with 47 busses in ten locations worldwide • Management of a dynamic and complex data structure regarding the fleet, hydrogen production, refuelling process, and fuel stations

Client Statement
Patrick Schnell Head of Special Projects/Hydrogen, Total
Solution Implementation of the web based software SoFi allowing for: • Flexible adaptation to different physical and data structure situations at each site • User friendly and intuitive data collection following a clearly defined workflow • Central data analysis by project coordinator, funding organisation (e.g. European Commission) and others • Compilation of reports, including user friendly graphs and tables, e.g. through time saving template capability which allows for aggregating and disaggregating collected data as desired in Microsoft Office compatible formats Benefits • Instant, transparent and reliable up-to-date status reports of project performance, on each level (daily-monthly-yearly, per individual vehicle-site- entire fleet) • High flexibility in adapting to technological changes occurring during the time span of the project • Fast identification of potential technical problems through close monitoring and »real time« reporting
»For our H2 refuelling station with onsite H2 production in Berlin Spandau we collected a very wide variety of data. We used SoFi for this task and found it to be very easy, intuitive and time efficient.«
