Truck buyers get fresh help in moving to electric vehicles

The range of services offered by Daimler Truck now includes TruckCharge, a consultancy service providing free advice and support to help customers transition to electric HGVs, such as the eActros, which was voted International Truck of the Year 2025.

Ibrahim Kraria, eConsultancy manager, Daimler Truck UK, said: “As every depot and business is different, we’ve introduced TruckCharge to demonstrate to customers how to overcome any perceived obstacles to running electric trucks. For example, we can help them decide the infrastructure required for their current and future eHGV truck requirements and give a clear analysis of the costs and benefits they should consider.”

The service looks at three areas – initial consultation, infrastructure and operations. This generates a range of information, including insights on transformation strategies to achieve decarbonisation and ESG targets, plus route and cost analysis (including potential subsidies, grants or tax breaks) and practical operational functions such as digital charging management and payments with the Mercedes ServiceCard.

Vital EV, a provider of ultra-rapid DC charging solutions, has been appointed as an official TruckCharge partner for installations and ongoing maintenance and support 24/7, 365 days a year.

Anna Eyre, brand and content manager at Vital EV, commented: “We are delighted to announce Vital EV have been appointed as an official EV charging partner, supporting Daimler Truck UK with our expertise in turnkey rapid and ultra-rapid charging solutions and a speciality in high power charging infrastructures.”
