MAN Transport Solutions develops eSolutions to make it as easy as possible for our customers to switch to e-mobility
is 360° consulting by a team of carefully chosen experts
We recently reached the milestone of 100 comprehensive consulting projects
Development cooperation with well-known software providers plays an important role in consulting
The environmental credentials of electric vehicles and the positive influence of this local emission-free drive technology on the climate have been demonstrated in numerous studies
in many European countries electrically powered commercial vehicles can be operated economically during their normal service life and depending on various local parameters
This is why MAN Truck & Bus already offers vehicles with electric battery drive in all three product segments – truck
bus and van – with plans to extend the product range further in the coming years
To support its customers when switching to e-mobility with know-how and services as well as the vehicles themselves
MAN established the MAN Transport Solutions division in 2018
true to the company’s motto “Simplifying Business”
The e-mobility consultants come from the fields of automotive engineering
This expert team’s activities are focused on fleet consulting
But what does the consulting look like in detail
Head of MAN Transport Solutions Consulting
explains: “We draw up a detailed plan for the customer that enables them to gradually switch to e-mobility
This essentially involves conversion of the vehicle fleet and the design of the charging infrastructure at the depot
we answer questions on whether it is worthwhile making long-term plans for charging stations and the required power supply now as more electric vehicles will follow in the coming years
We also supply the customer with a tailored cost estimate – including the investment volume for each stage of expansion
Operational costs over the expected service life of the vehicles are also analysed and potential savings due to different hourly energy prices are highlighted.”
the 360° consulting services from MAN Transport Solutions Consulting were focused on customers from the local public transport sector
But the experts are also registering increased demand in the truck and van segments
five depots were prepared for electrification of the van fleet for a company in the parcel delivery sector
Intensive discussions on site with a Belgium truck customer in the beverage industry enabled the physical situation to be investigated and the customer’s strategy internalised
One of the outcomes of the consulting by MAN Transport Solutions was cost savings for the customer due to the charging infrastructure being adapted to their needs
The expert team from MAN Transport Solutions Consulting works with a wide range of industries throughout Europe
The customers’ issues vary hugely and call for individual approaches and analyses
An urban transport operator in France needed a concept for the complete conversion of their operations to e-mobility
By looking at key parameters such as range
the optimum number of electric buses and the appropriate charging infrastructure were identified
Another exciting consulting project was planning supplies to a production line using electric trucks
The customer from the automotive industry had the objective of switching a 24/7 Just In Time delivery model to zero emissions
The MAN Experts developed a coherent concept that ensures an environmentally friendly and stable supply to production using electric trucks
the 100th consulting client was the Schwarz Group with headquarters in Herbrechtingen
After consulting by MAN Transport Solutions
owner-managed group of companies decided to use a MAN eTGM for the production supply of its customer Carl Zeiss
The vehicle was handed over in mid-October
The e-truck will commute between Herbrechtingen and Oberkochen three to four times a day
One of the partners for 360° consulting is INIT
a leading provider of integrated IT solutions for local public transportation
MAN Transport Solutions Consulting has signed a strategic cooperation with the company for development of planning software for e-mobility
One product of this cooperation is the planning tool eMOBILE-PLAN
which takes into account the changed requirements and planning parameters
The team uses this software extensively to advise their customers on converting their fleet to e-mobility
MAN Transport Solutions Consulting uses a software solution from Siemens Logistics Solutions to obtain very accurate predictions about future e-truck fleets
As well as the well-established consulting services
MAN Transport Solutions now also offers its customers charging solutions
see press release “1_MAN_PC20_TS_Charging_Solutions”)
This marks a further milestone in the eSolutions field and the objective is to make switching to e-mobility as easy as possible for our customers – a shining example of Simplifying Business
