There is provided a fleet management system for ensuring the optimum efficiency and the most cost-effective operation of one or more zero-emission vehicles, wherein each of the one or more zero-emission vehicles comprises a control system configured to monitor, collate and control each vehicle's operational data in order to actively monitor, control and optimise the management of the powertrain of the vehicle; the fleet management system comprising: a communications system, the communications system configured to send and receive vehicle operational data to and from a vehicle; a fleet operations controller configured to provide one or more of the following operations to a fleet controller in use: provide an increase in efficiency of the vehicle powertrain; provide an increase in durability of the vehicle powertrain; and provide a decrease in the overall cost of operation of the vehicle. More specifically a controller and related control system for the energy balancing of the vehicle taking into consideration such factors as fuel usage, power management between the various power generating and storage sub-systems, regenerative braking, terrain topology, weather and other environmental conditions, operation of vehicle peripherals and parasitic power demands in addition to cargo management and environmental needs and driver comfort and safety, as well as vehicle fleet management.
