Mercedes-Benz Trucks has developed a holistic ecosystem including consulting and infrastructure services to support customers in this area.
The company is now offering its customers the purchase of fast-charging stations from its dealerships, in addition to battery-electric vehicles.
The “Depot Charging” package includes consultation, hardware sales, and technical service. Qualified partners can also carry out the installation on request.
The aim is to ensure smooth charging processes and high levels of vehicle availability.
Launching in Germany at the end of May 2024 with pilot projects at various dealerships, followed by a rollout, with further European countries gradually being added.
By integrating consultation, charging stations, and charging station services into the Mercedes-Benz Trucks portfolio, customers significantly reduce their coordination scope, as they now only have one central port of call for their electric trucks and corresponding charging solutions.
Daimler Truck provides the entire charging system to the customer under what’s termed a single-invoice transaction.
Among its advantages, this method facilitates shorter delivery times and cost savings.
Daimler Truck Financial Services DTFS supports customers and dealers by offering financing solutions for the charging infrastructure.
Stina Fagerman, Head of Marketing, Sales and Services at Mercedes-Benz Trucks, states: “Our eConsulting services have been continuously refined over the years through extensive customer engagement.”
“As a provider of consultation and depot charging stations, we are meeting an important customer demand. In doing so, aim to make the transition to electric mobility even easier for our customers,” she adds.
Mercedes Benz Trucks selects Alpitronic as a strategic partner
Since 2017, Alpitronic, whose DNA lies in the development of power electronics, has focused on the development and production of the “Hypercharger” model series.
The term characterizes the product line of modular and highly sophisticated DC fast charging solutions.
Alpitronic’s fast-charging stations are becoming the go-to choice for many public fast-charging infrastructure operators.
Eve, the enterprise claims to have positioned itself as one of the foremost market providers in Europe.
This is mainly thanks to the high power density and reliability of its products.
Another key success factor is its extensive service network with more than 200 field service technicians operating throughout Europe ensuring smooth service.
Moreover, the products’ modular design guarantees straightforward installation and maintenance.
