Fleet Operational Hours • The unit achieved 4,528 hours in one year • The unit was in operation an average of 13.2 hours per day, with thirty-seven days reaching a full 20 or more hours of operation • The unit was used 342 days of the year with 192 consecutive days with at least one hour of use This level of productivity is typical for IC trucks, but the Big Joe units performed without compromise - proving that electric trucks are not only viable, but also well suited for high-hour applications.
BIG JOE TELEMATICS. ELECTRIFY WITH CONFIDENCE.
Truck Operational Hours and Usage The Big Joe Pulse system was successful in providing key insights on truck utilization, telemetrically. By analyzing the time each unit spends in one of four key states, operation managers gain a better understanding of the utilization patterns. These patterns give a snapshot of how each forklift is used throughout a typical day and can identify missed charging opportunities during idle periods. Additionally, these insights can help in shift planning, precise ROI calculations, emission reduction estimations, reducing downtime and extending the battery life through better charging practices. The four key states of the forklift are: WORKING Truck is key-on and actively driving, lifting, lowering or running an attachment. CHARGING Truck is key-on or off and actively charging the battery.
IDLE Truck is key-on and not actively driving, lifting, lowering or running an attachment. (LPG forklift would be idling in this state)
OFFLINE Truck is key-off, parked and powered down.
Example of a High Usage 48-Hour Period

In the below 48-hour period telematics shows the unit was: Working: 25h 38m Idle: 10h 35m
Charging 8h 22m
Offline 3h 25m
