en.Wedoany.com Reported - Fryte Mobility, in collaboration with Traton Charging Solutions and MAN Charge&Go, has launched a pilot project for reserving charging infrastructure at three MAN sites in Munich, Dachau, and Nuremberg. According to a press release from Fryte Mobility on June 22, each of the four unloading areas at these sites has one charging point available for reservation by the four participating transport companies.

Transport service providers Kloiber, Johann Dettendorfer Spedition, Jan de Rijk Logistics, and Schachinger Logistik can reserve charging points on-site in advance via the FRYTE platform. The dispatch systems of the logistics partners can book binding charging slots that match their respective transport and unloading processes.

The pilot project aims to address a key application scenario for the electrification of supplier transport: electric trucks not only require high-power charging points but also reliable access to these points within tight time windows. Especially in on-site transport, unloading windows, and rhythmic logistics processes, the predictable availability of charging infrastructure is a critical factor for operating electric trucks.

The charging infrastructure is operated by Traton Charging Solutions. Through the supplier's backend system, the charging infrastructure is integrated into the FRYTE platform via the OCPI interface, enabling technical and administrative reservation of charging points. During integration, the parties jointly defined specific booking rules, including operating hours, available charging windows, booking flexibility rules, and other parameters related to site operations. The FRYTE platform digitizes these rules, making them available to the dispatch systems of logistics partners.

This creates a complete process from transport planning and charging slot booking to the use of on-site charging facilities. This provides logistics companies with greater planning security while helping charging infrastructure operators better control and improve the utilization of charging points.

In the pilot project, MAN Charge & Go is used as a charging card for identity verification and charging fee settlement. Participating transport service providers will receive corresponding charging cards, which drivers can use to activate booked charging processes on-site. Michael Zehmisch, Head of eSolutions Development at MAN Transport Solutions, stated that through MAN Charge & Go, the pilot project ensures convenient identity verification and fee settlement for the charging process, creating a clear and user-friendly workflow for the participating logistics partners: booking a charging slot, verifying identity on-site, and settling charging fees.

In this way, reservation, access, and billing are integrated into a single process. The combination of the FRYTE platform, Traton Charging Solutions' charging infrastructure, and MAN Charge & Go aims to provide a practical workflow for electric supplier transport at MAN sites.
