Tailor your charging solution - step by step

Our long history and expertise within transportation give us a unique ability to understand your operations’ needs. In combination with in-house engineered and developed analytics tools – this enables us to tailor the best charging solution for you and your operation. 

The first and most vital part is the analysis. This is performed to get a complete picture of your operation and identify your needs.

 

During this phase we will provide you with:

  • Vehicle Overview – Take a closer look at the specifications in your current fleet
  • Fleet & Flow Analysis – creating route simulations & range estimations
  • Energy Consumption Analysis – taking geography, topography, climate, payloads & battery life into consideration
  • Energy Needs Analysis – taking infrastructure, vehicle & system energy needs, and losses into consideration
  • Charging Analysis – identifying the charging infrastructure needed & finding strategic locations

 

Through your vehicle and fleet data, we provide an analysis that defines the charging needs of your vehicles – independently from the brand you are driving – as well as the energy needs forecast for your operation’s electrification roadmap.

Everything we do is based on your real operations data, providing the best possible starting point for tailoring the perfect charging solution. 

Once the analysis has given us the complete picture, we look at your sites geospatial data and fleet needs to provide you with the best products and most suitable charging equipment. Both in terms of what’s needed to electrify your vehicles today, and to prepare your fleet for future scale-up.

Working with only the top brands in charging also means you can feel confident getting charging hardware that matches the premium quality you’ve come to expect from Scania. 

We will help you with:

  • Selecting the best hardware
  • Creating an understanding of up-front & long-term costs
  • Ensuring power availability & compatibility
  • Preparing your charging network for future expansion & scaling

We know that everything has to be taken into consideration and will always come to your site to ensure that your hardware & layout is optimal for your operation.

 

We will future proof your charging solution so that you are able to implement your long-term electrification plans, taking future vehicles & infrastructure growth into consideration. All to avoid unnecessary costs such as groundwork.

We will help you with:

  • Assessing your infrastructure, grid & sites
  • Layout suggestions
  • Preparing your sites & team
  • Performing groundwork
  • Installation and commissioning of hardware & software

With the installation settled, the next step is ensuring that your charging solution and energy is utilized in the best and most efficient way possible – through monitoring, balancing, scheduled charging and analysis capabilities.

 

This can be achieved with a Charging Management System (CMS). Different operations require different CMS capabilities, but the most important goal is to achieve a high level of productivity and uptime without paying for overcapacity.

We will help you with:

  • Select the best CMS system for your needs
  • Set up dashboards & charging schedules
  • Set up payment systems
  • Train your team how to use the systems with best practices

Just like your vehicles, the charging solutions will have to guarantee the uptime needs of your operation – and we know that one size does not fit all. We will guide you to get the right level of support and repair & maintenance contract.

 

With reliable support you will avoid spending too much of your own time searching for solutions to problems that may occur.

We will help you with:

  • Finding the right service level agreement
  • Setting up local support with suitable R&M contracts
  • Remote support to identify problems faster
  • Solving problems quickly & seamlessly
  • Ensuring that backup solutions are ready & available for worst-case scenarios

No solution is complete without the right services to support your operation and give you the slight edge you need. The package of services we offer are tailored to your needs – whether they are present or future, or if you operate trucks or buses.

 

We will help you with:

  • Make decisions based on real-life data & analysis
  • Reduce operating costs, such as energy costs and wear & tear
  • Take your support structures to the next level
  • Finance your charging solution with future projections & cost control
