Consulting
Needs assessment for your requirements.
To achieve your decarbonization and ESG goals, experts develop comprehensive transformation strategies – tailored to the needs of industrial companies in the transport industry.
Consultants analyse the operating conditions for you, such as stopping points and duration, speed, altitude profiles and other factors. On the basis of this analysis you will receive a Charging concept with an optimised layout and Power supply equipment, which is tailored to your needs.
After the analysis and preparation of the charging concept, a dedicated cost analysis follows, including potential subsidies, grants and tax incentives. This gives you transparent advice and a recommendation for your best possible set-up.
Infrastructure
Individual Power supply equipment for your needs.
You receive state-of-the-art charging stations from one of the leading providers. The charging stations offer different charging capacities: 50 kW, 200 kW and 400 kW.
Reliable professionals are needed for installation, commissioning, power supply systems and construction work. You will be supported in searching for and selecting from a wide network of qualified partners.
Experienced partners digitally take care of the installed Power supply equipment – 24 hours a day. Repairs and maintenance work are carried out quickly and reliably online or on site.
Operation
Optimised operational processes.
With the Charging Network, the number of fast-charging points outside your own depot is increased. Company-owned charging options are made available for public use.
As the operator of a depot with your own power supply equipment you can use it more efficiently: By allowing additional external users you can monetise surplus capacities and thereby open up an additional source of income for your company. At the same time you retain a high degree of planning certainty, thanks to a digital booking system for precise charging time slots. As a host you benefit from a reliable payment system through which all transactions are processed and by which you receive payment for all charging sessions.
As a guest you gain more planning certainty for your transport operations through access to a Europe-wide e-charging network with the ability to charge any of your e-trucks at all participating depots. This also allows you to charge on the go at attractive prices. Via the provided digital platform, including an app and a charging card, depot search, booking and billing work quickly, flexibly and simply.
We will gladly advise you on TruckCharge and the Charging Network, or register directly.
All charging stations digitally networked and charging processes centrally controlled: With Fleetboard Charge Management, you control your charging park and optimise the use of your electric trucks.
Charging card
Digital payment.
With the charging card1,2 for Mercedes‑Benz Trucks you can also bridge distances beyond the maximum range of your electric truck. The payment process while charging at public charging points in Europe3 is cashless and simple.
You gain access to the growing public network of partner UTA Edenred, with around 900 operators in 28 countries3. With the optional UTA eCharge® app you can find suitable charging points nearby or at your destination and view station details. You can control your charging session easily via the app.
The charging card is issued separately for each electric truck. No driver registration is required, so the card can be used by multiple drivers. All costs for charging services on the road that are processed with the card can be allocated to the respective truck.
Whether fees for tolls, tunnels, bridges or ferries, car washes or parking in secure parking areas – the handling of these mobility services is also made easier with the charging card.

“The go-live of the TruckCharge network is a complete success for us. We are particularly impressed by the extremely high level of convenience combined with minimal administrative effort: once entered into the system with the corresponding tariffs, the activation of charging sessions runs fully automatically in the background. That is exactly the efficiency that we and our customers need.”
