Holman Invests in Electric Vehicle Management Software Innovator AmpUp

Holman, a global automotive services organization,  announced an investment
from its venture capital division in AmpUp, a leading electric vehicle (EV)
management software company. AmpUp’s innovative technology allows
organizations and fleet operators to efficiently monitor and manage their EV
charging infrastructure to simplify charging schedules and optimize energy
consumption.

In addition to the strategic capital investment, this collaborative effort
is poised to leverage Holman’s industry-leading fleet management services
and AmpUp’s technology platform to aggregate charging information with
vehicle operating data, reducing the risk of data fragmentation and
mitigating fraud while also eliminating potential blind spots as fleet
operators successfully navigate the transition to EVs.

“As a growing number of organizations embrace EVs and the associated
infrastructure becomes increasingly robust, enhanced visibility to charging
data will be vital to effectively managing EV chargers and optimizing
charging strategies at scale,” said Emily Graham, Director of
Sustainability, Holman. “As we continue to explore potential electrification
opportunities with our customers, aligning with technology leaders such as
AmpUp allows us to integrate at-home and public charging information with
the full range of vehicle operating data we already capture, further
streamlining the transition to EVs for fleet operators and delivering the
insight necessary to make fully-informed strategic decisions.”

AmpUp’s proprietary software solution helps to simplify electric vehicle
adoption by improving the EV charging experience for organizations and their
drivers. The technology makes EV charge scheduling easier and more
convenient while also providing better infrastructure control and delivering
increased visibility to key charging metrics.

“Holman’s automotive expertise and legacy in the industry is second to none
and we’re extremely proud of the investment they’re making in our company as
we continue on our mission to electrify transportation,” said Thomas Sun,
CEO, AmpUp. “As more businesses transition their fleets to electric
vehicles, we believe our intuitive technology will help organizations
quickly scale smart charging solutions and make implementing electrification
programs as seamless as possible for fleet operators.”

AmpUp’s product suite is poised to accelerate the transition to EVs for a
number of fleet operators and Holman looks forward to being part of the
company’s continued growth. For additional information, please visit
