German commercial vehicle manufacturer MAN Truck & Bus, a subsidiary of Volkswagen’s TRATON, has made its new MAN Charge&Go charging service available to all customers, regardless of brand.
The service is designed to make it easier to find truck-compatible charging points throughout Europe and enables simple payment using a charging card. MAN has developed an eTruck-ready standard to help customers find truck-compatible charging points suitable for their maneuverability and height and weight restrictions.
In the MAN Charge&Go digital map, the truck-compatible charging points are listed in two levels: eTruck ready and eTruck limited. While eTruck ready shows unrestricted charging points, the charging points labeled as eTruck limited have restrictions, for example in terms of vehicle length.
The truck-compatible charging network currently comprises around 650 locations and the company aims to expand this to 1,000 charging locations by the end of 2025. MAN Charge&Go uses the charging network with Preferred Partners from TRATON Charging Solutions. The MAN Charge&Go charging card is also accepted at over 15,000 other charging locations across Europe.
The service centers on a simple and reliable process at charging points from different providers. Charging locations can be displayed in the vehicle or in the MAN DriverApp. The eTruck driver authenticates their identity at the charging station using the MAN Charge&Go charging card.
The payment process is handled in the background and a consolidated invoice at the end of the month provides an overview of the charging costs for a company’s entire fleet at all charging points used. Customers also have access to 24/7 support from MAN Mobile24. The MAN Charge&Go Service Portal displays charging costs and an overview of the charging cards at all times.
