Daimler Truck’s TruckCharge: the “Depot Charging” package
In the meantime, Daimler Truck offers its customers the possibility to purchase fast-charging stations from its dealerships. The “Depot Charging” package includes consulting, hardware sales and technical service as well as financing solutions from Daimler Truck Financial Services for the charging infrastructure. Also, qualified Daimler Truck partners will carry out the installation on request.
The first pilot projects were launched at various dealerships in Germany at the end of this May, the rollout is currently taking place, with further European countries gradually being added. Alpitronic is the strategic partner for the charging stations.
“We want to make e-mobility simple and profitable for our customers – also beyond the purchase of electric trucks. With TruckCharge, we are now bundling our range of solutions under one brand and plan to continuously expand the portfolio”, said Karin Rådström, CEO Mercedes-Benz Trucks.
