With the aim of enabling the shift to electric mobility, MAN is now offering a comprehensive digital services package to customers who buy an eTGX or eTGS. These services offered as a standard will be available from mid-2025 and will last 5 years.

More into details, together with established services such as Geo, Timed, Compliant M and Perform, new services tailored to the requirements of electrically powered fleets such as MAN eManager and MAN SmartRoute are also part of this digital package. The MAN ServiceCare S service is free anyway and the MAN Driver App is available to download for free. In addition, the MAN Charge&Go charging service, which includes a charging card, can be booked free of charge. Charging costs are billed according to consumption.

MAN services tailored on electric mobility

Among the new services specifically tailored on electric trucks, the MAN eManager controls the charging management and preconditioning of the electric vehicles. It also offers additional functions for optimising daily operation. These include access to battery-relevant data for detailed vehicle and battery monitoring. It is also possible to see which vehicles are on the route, travelling or stationary.

MAN SmartRoute helps customers to ensure that their eTrucks are always travelling on the most efficient route and that they head for the right charging station at the right time. An optimum route is continuously calculated based on individual parameters such as battery charge status, remaining range, public charging stations and traffic.

The MAN Charge&Go charging service is the eTruck-specific solution for public charging. The constantly growing Europe-wide MAN Charge&Go charging network is specially designed for commercial vehicles. Charging stations suitable for the route are suggested to the dispatcher via MAN SmartRoute. Drivers can view the charging points in the infotainment system in the vehicle and in the MAN Driver App. MAN Charge&Go customers can thus plan the charging of their vehicles, pay at the charging point and benefit from a consolidated invoice at the end of the month.
