Public charging for e-trucks – including access to Milence stations
UTA customers have approximately 300 truck-compatible public charging stations in Europe at their disposal, including those of the Milence fast-charging network.
UTA Edenred's public truck charging network in Europe is already used by Daimler Truck. Drivers of electric trucks from Mercedes-Benz Trucks can access charging stations in UTA Edenred’s acceptance network with their Mercedes ServiceCard charging cards.
Charging with in-house infrastructure: on company premises, at depots, and at employees’ homes
Charging on a company's own premises is often the most effective form of fleet electrification. With UTA eCharge, transport and logistics companies can charge heavy goods vehicles overnight and during loading/idle periods ("depot charging"), depending on individual requirements and available charging capacity.
UTA Edenred's service portfolio for depot charging ranges from a detailed needs analysis and planning and implementation of appropriate AC or DC charging infrastructure to technical operation, training and charging management. Additionally, the solution enables site managers to monetise corporate infrastructure by managing the billing and invoicing of third-party fleets using the company's charge points (“semi-public charging”).
UTA eCharge also enables employees to charge their vehicles at company facilities ("workplace charging") and at their homes (“home charging”). In the case of the latter, suitable wallboxes as well as the reimbursement of employee electricity costs can be implemented.
Bringing together the best of the electromobility ecosystem
UTA Edenred draws on deep infrastructure project management expertise to support its customers in the deployment of workplace, depot/semi-public and home charging solutions. In addition, its network of certified partners works with customers to tailor charging technologies to their requirements. Installation partners include GP JOULE CONNECT and VSB Group, with more to come.
The unique Spirii software platform is used to manage charging processes for home, workplace and depot charging. Spirii, an Edenred company, is an international provider of charging and software-as-a-service solutions.
UTA eCard: A single card for all charging scenarios plus fuelling, toll settlement and more
Whether charging within UTA Edenred’s European public charging network of more than 925,000 charging points, at corporate premises or at drivers’ homes, the activation of charging processes and the processing of charges is conveniently accomplished via the UTA eCard. UTA Edenred's fuel and charging card not only allows e-vehicles to be charged, but it also provides access to the UTA fuel network, processes European tolls and enables the booking of UTA acceptance network services such as workshop, breakdown, tyre repair, cleaning and secure parking facilities.
Pierre Jalady, General Manager Edenred Mobility EMEA and CEO of UTA Edenred said: "With the UTA eCharge charging solution, we aim to enable our customers with vehicles of all classes to charge in a large public network, on company premises and at the residence of company car drivers. Following the launch of UTA eCharge as a 360° solution for the passenger car segment, we now also have an all-round offer for the electrification of truck and transporter fleets. This means that we are available to all customer groups as a reliable partner for the electric transformation."
