Electrada, Daimler Truck Financial Services partner to deliver EV charging-as-a-service

Electrada and Daimler Truck Financial Services have begun a official partnership to use Electrada’s 360 Charging-as-a-Service solution with Daimler’s battery electric vehicles. The companies describe the partnership as providing the necessary infrastructure to power medium- and heavy-duty electric vehicle fleets. The solution will first be provided to projects with selected customers in the USA in the first half of 2024.

Electrada describes its 360 Charging-as-a-Service (CaaS) as an end-to-end, technology-agnostic approach that allows fleets to electrify in a way that is customized to their specific use cases. It covers a fleet’s EV charging infrastructure buildout, implementation, operation and maintenance costs.

Daimler Trucks has announced an autonomous Freightliner eCascadia technology demonstrator, combining battery electric drive and integrated autonomous driving technology into one truck.

The truck is based on a production BEV Freightliner eCascadia and is equipped with autonomous driving software from Torc Robotics and Level 4 sensor and compute technology. Daimler Truck says this will eventually enable Level 4 autonomous driving. Daimler Truck says the autonomous vehicle has the potential to evolve into a modular, scalable platform that is propulsion-agnostic for flexible use in different trucking applications. The goal, according to the company, is to offer customers a choice of the right vehicles for their specific business and transportation needs.
