DAF was the first European OEM to bring a fully electric truck to the market (2018) and is already providing a full range of chargers since 2021 through its PACCAR Parts organisation.
Achieving a successful transition to zero-emission transport requires more than a fleet of electric vehicles, combined with powerful chargers. To develop the most effective solution with an in-depth understanding of each customer’s needs, PACCAR Power Solutions starts by assessing factors such as fleet size, vehicle application, charging schedules, peak energy demands, energy rates and potential surpluses from self-generated electricity. Also grid capacity is part of the first assessment. “After this analysis, we align the customer’s ambitions, needs, and expectations with the latest insights and technologies,” said Michael van Rijen, Head of PACCAR Power Solutions. “Our solutions are robust, tailored-made, cost-efficient, and ready for the future.”
PACCAR Power Solutions can fully manage the implementation of their recommendations, even if the design includes a comprehensive ‘microgrid’, featuring solar panels, a Battery Energy Storage System (BESS), advanced Energy Management Systems (EMS), and high-speed chargers.
