Munich/Södertälje, 20.11.2024 – One year since its inception, TRATON Charging Solutions has made significant strides in its mission to provide comprehensive and seamless charging solutions for commercial vehicles across Europe. As the dedicated eMobility Service Provider (eMSP) within the TRATON GROUP, which includes renowned brands Scania, MAN, International, and Volkswagen Truck & Bus, TRATON Charging Solutions has focused on enabling a smooth and efficient charging experience tailored to the unique needs of commercial vehicle operators. TRATON Charging Solutions powers key charging services such as Scania Charging Access and MAN Charge&Go, simplifying access to reliable charging infrastructure and ensuring a streamlined user experience.
Currently, the TRATON Charging Solutions network boasts around 150 charging locations suitable for commercial vehicles, with more than 400 charging points across Europe. This extensive network highlights TRATON Charging Solutions’ commitment to building a robust and accessible infrastructure that meets the growing demand for electric commercial vehicles.
“It's incredible to think of what we've achieved in twelve months. Previously, the experience for fleet customers in terms of accessing charge point locations and managing payments was below par. To build confidence in electric, we needed to bring simplicity and convenience to customers,” said Dr. Petra Sundström, Managing Director of TRATON Charging Solutions.
Strengthening the network with Hubject
In addition to celebrating its one-year milestone, TRATON Charging Solutions is proud to announce a new partnership with Hubject, a global leader in eRoaming technology and one of the most significant players in the EV charging ecosystem. This strategic collaboration strengthens TRATON Charging Solutions’ position in providing Europe’s largest commercial vehicle charging network and opens doors for potential global partnerships.
Christian Hahn, CEO of Hubject, expressed his excitement: “Partnering with TRATON Charging Solutions represents an important step in driving the adoption of electric commercial vehicles. Our combined efforts will help create a seamless charging experience that meets the demands of this rapidly growing sector.”
This partnership means that customers of Scania Charging Access and MAN Charge&Go will gain seamless access to an extensive network of charging points within Hubject’s leading eRoaming platform. It simplifies charging processes by providing integrated access, one invoice, and consistent pricing, further enhancing user convenience and confidence.
Joint initiatives and thought leadership
TRATON Charging Solutions and Hubject have been collaborating since 2023, engaging in thought leadership initiatives to define Point of Interest (POI) data model requirements for commercial vehicle charging in the EU. These joint efforts are aimed at ensuring that the charging ecosystem evolves to meet the unique operational requirements of fleet operators and supports a comprehensive, user-friendly charging network.
One year of progress and the path forward
Over the past year, TRATON Charging Solutions has expanded its coverage to 19 European countries, with plans to encompass the entire EU by the end of 2025. This progress underlines TRATON Charging Solutions’ commitment to supporting sustainable transport solutions and addressing the urgent need for reliable infrastructure to meet the growing demand for battery-electric commercial vehicles.
“Our aim as a shared service entity is to give all our brands the supporting framework to succeed. Scania and MAN have done a brilliant commercial packaging of their services, while TRATON Charging Solutions provides the backbone,” added Sundström.
As TRATON Charging Solutions looks forward, the partnership with Hubject exemplifies its dedication to driving innovation and creating practical solutions that benefit customers and support the decarbonization of commercial transport.
