The so-called Charging Management is a brand-new service offered by Volvo. It allows transport companies “to efficiently manage the private charging of their electric trucks at the home-depot“. 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.

The new service joins Volvo Open Charge. Launched last year, the platform assists haulers in finding and accessing public charging stations. 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. Both Charging Management and Volvo Open Charge are both part of Volvo Connect, Volvo Trucks’ interface for digital services for all customers.

“Charging is a key area when operating an electric truck. As a transport company, you want to make sure that your trucks are charged and ready when it’s time for the next transport mission. Following up the charging process is also important to be able to see if there are deviations. This service helps the haulers with all of this,” said Johan Östberg, Electromobility service owner at Volvo Trucks.
