Through this partnership, the software will be seamlessly integrated with Mercedes-Benz and Setra brand buses.
This will benefit ChargePoint customers with fleets that include Mercedes-Benz and Setra buses, as well as Daimler Buses customers wishing to use ChargePoint fleet and charge management software.
Bernd Mack, Head of Customer Services & Parts and Used Vehicles at Daimler Buses said:I am very pleased that, in ChargePoint, we were able to gain a partner for our Data-as-a-Service ecosystem. The partnership with ChargePoint is a further important component in making the use of vehicle data as easy and secure as possible for our bus customers.
This collaboration aims to create a seamless customer experience, with fast and cost-effective onboarding in as little as a few minutes. The integration will also eliminate the need for additional telematics hardware.
Uwe Münch, Director for Bus & Transit, Europe, at ChargePoint said:Over 9,500 buses use the ChargePoint fleet management system globally, many of which are made by Daimler Buses. With this new partnership, customers of both brands benefit from enhanced software to optimise their pure electric and mixed fuel fleets. Daimler Buses operators who wish to use our telematics and charge management solution will benefit from the partnership.
