A Southampton software company that helps fleet operators choose and run electric vehicles and cut their emissions.
Dynamon is a Southampton-based software company that helps businesses with large vehicle fleets, such as delivery and transport firms, cut fuel use and move to electric vehicles. Its tools use data and simulation to answer questions like which vans should be electric, where to put chargers and how to keep batteries healthy. Its flagship software is called ZERO.
The company began as a University of Southampton spin-out and is listed at Southampton Science Park. It was founded by Angus Webb, who was a Royal Academy of Engineering Enterprise Fellow in the university's engineering faculty and is now chief executive. His research background is why the company leans so heavily on analytics and modelling rather than on selling vehicles or chargers.
Dynamon describes its goal as bringing "the most advanced fleet optimisation tools to the transport industry". In practice that means a client can connect its vehicle telematics data to Dynamon's software and receive tailored advice on cutting costs and carbon. It also helps firms that already run electric vehicles by tracking costs, reliability and battery degradation.
The company has a commercial agreement with BP and has exhibited at the Road Transport Expo, a UK trade event for fleets. Its base is Southampton, on the south coast, so a lot of its work is with UK transport companies and their real-world operations. Public pages we read named the chief executive but not other staff, so we cannot describe the wider team or culture.
For a student, Dynamon is a good example of how data science, engineering and climate goals combine. Staff in a business like this include data scientists, software engineers, energy and transport analysts, customer success and sales specialists. Dynamon's two analytics products connect to vehicle telematics data, so the company turns the numbers that vehicles already produce into practical advice. Angus Webb has been recognised with a Royal Academy of Engineering Enterprise Fellowship, which gives a sense of the engineering seriousness behind the business, and the partnership with BP shows that large energy firms see value in this kind of fleet planning. If you enjoy maths, coding or climate and transport topics, watching how fleets decarbonise is a useful way to see where those skills are used.
