MAN Transport Solutions: 100th Consultation on Entry into E-Mobility
MAN Transport Solutions Consulting has conducted 100 comprehensive consulting projects for fleet operators with its 360° consulting approach and supported them in entering electromobility in a development cooperation with renowned software providers. Since 2018, MAN Transport Solutions Consulting has been accompanying MAN's product portfolio with battery-electric drive in the three product segments Truck, Bus, and Van. The aim is to advise customers, primarily fleet operators in public transport, the service sector, and industrial companies, on the transition to electromobility with expertise and services.
The focus of MAN consultants from the fields of vehicle technology, charging infrastructure, logistics, energy management, route planning, and battery technology is particularly on the areas of network analysis, charging infrastructure, energy supply and storage, demand planning, and service.
“We develop a detailed plan for the customer, so they can gradually transition to e-mobility,” explains Michael Voll, Head of MAN Transport Solutions Consulting.
This mainly concerns the conversion of the vehicle fleet and the design of the charging infrastructure at the depot. Additionally, we provide customers with an individual cost estimate including investment volume per expansion stage and analyze the operational costs and potential savings, Voll further outlines.
The 100th Project: Shuttle Service for Schwarz Group
MAN Transport Solutions has now reported the successful completion of its 100th consulting project. An eMobility solution for shuttle services to supply production was developed for the medium-sized Schwarz Group based in Herbrechtingen. Following the consultation and analysis by MAN Transport Solutions, the owner-managed company group will supply its customer Carl Zeiss with a MAN eTGM in the future. Three to four times a day, the electric truck will shuttle between Herbrechtingen and Oberkochen.
As a software partner for the analysis and implementation of such projects, MAN Transport Solutions Consulting collaborates with several IT partners. To develop planning software for eMobility, the consultants have entered into a strategic partnership with Init, a provider of integrated IT solutions in public transport. One product of this collaboration is the planning tool eMOBILE-PLAN, which takes into account the changed requirements and planning parameters for eMobility. The consulting team uses this software intensively when advising customers on the switch to eMobility. Siemens Logistics Solution is also active as another software partner. MAN Transport Solutions Consulting uses Siemens Logistics Solution’s software to make precise predictions about future eTruck fleets with truck circulations. Rainer Barck/jr
