(PRESS RELEASE) MUNICH, 8-Oct-2024 — /EuropaWire/ — In a significant advancement for the electric transport sector, MAN Truck & Bus has announced that all new MAN eTGX and eTGS models will come equipped with a robust suite of digital services at no extra charge for a period of five years. This initiative aims to facilitate the transition to electromobility for its customers, underscoring MAN’s commitment to integrating innovative technology into its fleet solutions.

The newly included MAN DigitalServices package encompasses a variety of tools designed specifically for the needs of electric vehicle operators. Alongside established offerings like Geo, Timed, Compliant M, and Perform, the package introduces tailored services such as MAN eManager and MAN SmartRoute. Furthermore, customers can access MAN ServiceCare S at no cost, and the MAN Driver App is also available for complimentary download. Additionally, the MAN Charge&Go service, featuring a dedicated charging card, can be seamlessly integrated into the package, with charging expenses calculated based on actual consumption.

The MAN DigitalServices are fully compatible with both diesel and electric technologies, reflecting a thorough enhancement of existing services to accommodate the specific demands of electric fleets. The Perform service has been notably upgraded to include an in-depth energy consumption analysis, facilitating detailed monitoring of electrical power utilization and air conditioning operations. New solutions, including MAN eManager M, MAN Charge&Go, and MAN SmartRoute, have been developed with the unique challenges of electric fleet management in mind.

The MAN eManager provides control over the charging process and the preconditioning of electric vehicles, offering functionalities that optimize daily operations. It grants users access to critical battery data, enabling comprehensive vehicle and battery monitoring. Operators can track which vehicles are en route, stationary, or in motion, while gaining insights into daily charging cycles, energy consumption, and environmental conditions.

With MAN SmartRoute, fleet operators can ensure their eTrucks navigate the most efficient routes and reach the appropriate charging stations at optimal times. This intelligent system continually recalibrates routes based on essential factors such as battery levels, remaining range, public charging availability, and real-time traffic conditions. If any variables change, MAN SmartRoute quickly offers alternative options, providing vital information to both drivers through the vehicle’s infotainment system and dispatchers via the RIO platform.

The MAN Charge&Go service serves as a tailored solution for public charging needs, boasting an expanding network of charging stations across Europe specifically designed for commercial vehicles. Dispatchers receive recommendations for suitable charging locations through MAN SmartRoute, while drivers can access this information both in-vehicle and via the MAN Driver App. Charge&Go users can conveniently plan their charging sessions, manage payments at charging stations, and benefit from a simplified monthly billing system. Fleet managers gain enhanced transparency through a clear pricing structure and consolidated invoicing. MAN’s reliable Mobile24 support ensures around-the-clock assistance for any charging-related issues. Notably, Charge&Go is compatible with all brands, making it advantageous for mixed fleets.

These innovative digital services tailored for electric vehicles are set to be available starting mid-2025.
