Daimler Truck has launched TruckCharge, a consultancy service providing free advice and support to help customers transition to electric HGVs such as its eActros.
The TruckCharge service looks at three key areas – initial consultation, infrastructure and operations.
This generates a comprehensive range of information, including insights on transformation strategies to achieve decarbonisation and ESG targets, plus route and cost analysis, including potential subsidies, grants or tax breaks.
There are also practical operational functions such as digital charging management and payments with the Mercedes ServiceCard.
Vital EV, a provider of ultra-rapid DC charging solutions has been appointed as an official TruckCharge partner for installations and ongoing maintenance and support.
Its in-house clean energy experts can seamlessly integrate both solar and battery energy storage systems to mitigate grid constraints.
Financing options for charging installations are available from Daimler Truck financial services.
The TruckCharge service is backed-up with a dedicated support system, including over-the-air diagnostics and on-site attendance guaranteed within service level agreements.
Ibrahim Kraria, eConsultancy Manager, Daimler Truck UK said, “As every depot and business is different, we’ve introduced the TruckCharge free consultancy service to demonstrate to customers how to overcome any perceived obstacles to running electric trucks.
“For example, we can help them decide the infrastructure required for their current and future eHGV truck requirements and give a clear analysis of the costs and benefits they should consider.
“Appointing Vital EV to support Daimler Truck UK shows our commitment to provide expert advice and support, and deliver reliable, high-performance truck charging.
“From design and installation to ongoing support and maintenance via a dedicated 24/7/365 support system, TruckCharge is a complete solution.”
