Volvo Trucks’ new service, Charging Management, allows transport companies to efficiently manage the private charging of their electric trucks at the home-depot. The service contributes to increased productivity and uptime, by ensuring that the trucks within a fleet are sufficiently charged for planned operations and by reducing the number of unplanned charging sessions.
On the platform, the hauler can create charging plans, which determine when vehicles are expected to start charging and reach full battery levels. Deviations to the plan are notified to the user in order to avoid low battery level. The service provides a visual overview of the charging process of the trucks, with battery level and charging status shown. Charging session reports on vehicles as well as chargers are available for follow-up.
Volvo Open Charge provides easy public charging in three steps: find, book, charge
Last year, Volvo Trucks launched Volvo Open Charge, a service designed to make charging on the road more predictable and reliable. Volvo Open Charge assists haulers in finding and accessing public charging stations. It’s possible to pay for charging via the tool at the stations where Volvo has a partnership.
Within the near future, booking of charging time will be possible via the tool, which will allow haulers to optimize their charging planning. The Volvo Open Charge service has been launched in Sweden and the Netherlands, and other countries in Europe and other parts of the world will follow.
