"Physical safeguards add up to 50% to infrastructure cost and often require space many depots simply don't have."
For many bus operators, the biggest hurdle to electrification isn’t the technology — it’s insurance.
As electric buses and trucks enter depots built for diesel, insurers are tightening their safety requirements. To approve coverage, they now demand physical safeguards such as firewalls, safety zones, and structural changes. These measures can add up to 50% to total infrastructure costs and often require space that simply isn’t available. And even then, they only provide passive protection, limiting the damage once something goes wrong rather than preventing incidents altogether.
As a result, many depots struggle to meet insurer conditions or remain uninsurable altogether, forcing operators to carry the risk themselves and slowing down the transition to fully electrified fleets across Europe.
Jump Energy provides a data-driven monitoring system that helps fleet operators demonstrate compliance and reduce insurance costs. Together, these layers create a comprehensive safety system that combines early prevention with fast and effective response.
