Leinfelden-Echterdingen / Mannheim – Daimler Buses and ChargePoint, one of Europe's largest telematics service providers for electric buses have signed a partnership agreement. The aim of the new partnership is to enable transport companies with multi-brand fleets to now use vehicle data from Mercedes-Benz and Setra buses without additional hardware and on a larger scale in the ChargePoint fleet management system.

Partnership model to be expanded further

Daimler Buses offers its customers a wide range of connectivity solutions with the Omniplus On digital services. There have always been various options for using digital services: conveniently in the Omniplus On portal or by integrating high-quality vehicle data into telemetry systems from telematics service providers and also via a broad portfolio of partner applications.  Fifteen well-known European providers of telematics and depot management systems are already partners and offer their customers the Data-as-a-Service (DaaS) portfolio to integrate vehicle data from Daimler Buses into the fleet management systems and thus optimise their fleet analysis and management. ChargePoint is now joining this group as another important telematics provider.

Customers of both companies benefit

Bernd Mack, Head of Customer Services & Parts and Used Vehicles at Daimler Buses: "I am very pleased that, in ChargePoint, we were able to gain another partner for our Data-as-a-Service ecosystem. The partnership with ChargePoint is a further important component in making the use of vehicle data as easy and secure as possible for our bus customers."

Uwe Münch, Director Bus & Transit Europe at ChargePoint: "Many of our bus fleet customers across Europe have buses from Daimler Buses in their fleet. This partnership is therefore a real benefit for the customers of both companies. With this new partnership, we are opening up additional options for users of our software to optimise their bus fleet. And not only for electric buses, but also for conventionally powered vehicles, which our software also manages for mixed fleets."

Data usage becomes easier and more diverse

For ChargePoint customers with Mercedes-Benz and Setra buses in their fleet, the new agreement offers numerous advantages: The time-consuming installation of additional hardware is no longer necessary because ChargePoint can use data from the Bus Data Center, which is a standard feature in all buses from Daimler Buses. All that is required is a monthly data package from Omniplus On that can be purchased for each individual bus and the transport company's data release.

Another benefit is, for example, that the Bus Data Center transmits over 450 data points in real time as well as all vehicle diagnostic data. In addition, it can receive commands sent via mobile network, for example for the preconditioning of the eCitaro, thus opening up additional options for the fleet management system.

Data is protected to the highest standard

Last but not least, ChargePoint customers operating Daimler Buses vehicles now benefit from a very high level of security when it comes to data transfer. The reason for this is that Daimler Buses is the first bus manufacturer to have homologated its vehicles in accordance with the new, international cybersecurity directive UN ECE R155. In concrete terms, this mean that the data is permanently protected against unauthorised access with a very high standard along the entire connectivity route from the vehicle to Daimler Buses' cloud.
