ChargePoint, a leader in networked charging solutions for electric vehicles (EVs), has formed a strategic partnership with Daimler Buses. This collaboration aims to integrate ChargePoint’s telematics and charge management systems seamlessly with Mercedes-Benz and Setra brand buses, enhancing fleet management for both fully electric and mixed-fuel fleets.
Key Highlights:
- Seamless integration of telematics and charge management systems for Mercedes-Benz and Setra buses.
- Enhanced software capabilities to optimize the operation of electric and mixed-fuel fleets.
- Partnership enables fast and cost-effective onboarding for fleet operators, offering real-time insights and advanced reporting.
- Collaboration eliminates the need for additional telematics hardware for ChargePoint and Daimler Buses customers.
Uwe Münch, Director for Bus & Transit, Europe, at ChargePoint, highlighted the significance of this partnership: “Over 9,500 buses use the ChargePoint fleet management system globally, many of which are made by Daimler Buses. With this new partnership, customers of both brands benefit from enhanced software to optimize their pure electric and mixed-fuel fleets. Daimler Buses operators who wish to use our telematics and charge management solution will benefit from the partnership.”
Bernd Mack, Head of Customer Services & Parts and Used Vehicles at Daimler Buses, emphasized the benefits of the collaboration: “I am very pleased that, in ChargePoint, we were able to gain a partner for our Data-as-a-Service ecosystem. The partnership with ChargePoint is a further important component in making the use of vehicle data as easy and secure as possible for our bus customers.”
ChargePoint’s fleet and charge management systems provide crucial real-time data analysis, ensuring efficient fleet operation and enabling the scaling of EV fleets. This partnership delivers a seamless customer experience, facilitating fast onboarding and offering a comprehensive range of fleet management tools from a single interface.
For ChargePoint customers using Mercedes-Benz and Setra buses, or for Daimler Buses customers adopting ChargePoint’s management software, this partnership offers significant advantages by integrating telematics without requiring additional hardware.
