Installation and maintenance of charging infrastructures for your electric trucks

Depending on the answers to these questions, we will provide you with recommendations for the charging systems that suit your requirements. Depending on your operation, an overnight charging system may be sufficient. In other cases, it may be prudent to make provision for a fast-charging system. It is also an option to use a mobile fast-charge station: this may be positioned temporarily in one or more strategic locations, for example.

The charging solutions that we advocate are systematically tested and signed off by our technical departments. They are used in conjunction with specific online software that enables optimised charging, ensuring that you can distribute your electrical energy consumption to be as cost-effective as possible. You will also be able to monitor all stages of charging, or schedule it for the most convenient times: this is known as smart charging.

To guide you in your final choice, our experts suggest several charging layouts drawn up according to your constraints and the priorities associated with your operational requirements. The objective is to limit your vehicle’s downtime and optimise your return on investment.

The number of charging stations will increase over the coming years in Europe. Indeed, the European Union is working on a new regulation called « Alternative Fuel Infrastructure Regulation » (AFIR). This will make mandatory for the member States to set up a minimum number of fast charging stations from 2025 onwards.

Renault Trucks, through the Volvo Group and the deal signed with Daimler Truck and the TRATON Group, commits to providing a performing charging network to its clients all across Europe.

It also should be noted that the power of charging stations will increase little by little making possible the appearance of megachargers. It will therefore be possible to partially or fully charge a truck in just minutes.
