Electric truck charging process demonstrated by Fryte Mobility, featuring automated booking systems
In a groundbreaking demonstration at the Interchange Network Conference in Berlin, Munich-based startup FRYTE, in collaboration with Bosch Road Services, SBRS, and Hubject, showcased a fully automated reservation process for an electric truck charging station. The demonstration aimed to address two key challenges: ensuring reliable e-truck operation for fleet operators and secure, predictable utilization of charging infrastructure for operators.
At the heart of the demonstration was the integration of transport management systems (TMS) with charge point management systems (CPMS) through the use of FRYTE's provided integration module. This connection allows for the reservation of charging sessions in advance for electric trucks, a feature that is particularly beneficial for fleet operators and transport companies in integrating these vehicles into tight schedules.
The new OCPI standard 2.3 played a crucial role in enabling communication between TMS and CPMS. This standard facilitates interoperability, a necessity for enabling automated booking directly from transport management systems, as asserted by FRYTE.
Hartmut Entrup, Director of Energy Solutions at Fiege Logistik, announced the transformation of all relevant Fiege logistics sites into energy ecosystems. Optimizing energy flows and costs is a priority for Fiege Logistik, and knowing when trucks will charge at their sites is critical, Entrup said. A digitalized reservation process provides Fiege Logistik with the necessary information for optimization and gives partners confidence that their e-trucks can recharge at their depots.
In its role as operator of charging points and depots, Fiege Logistik represented the perspective of a private charge point operator (CPO) during the demonstration. Hubject acted as a reservation hub, SBRS as a CPO, and Bosch Road Services as a booking service provider. Improved capacity management of charging points is a benefit for charging infrastructure operators, both in the public domain and at depots.
Maximilian Zähringer, CEO of FRYTE, emphasized the importance of this innovation, stating that charging point reservation addresses two key challenges: ensuring reliable e-truck operation for fleet operators and secure, predictable utilization of charging infrastructure for operators. The company that automated the reservation process for an electric truck charging station and the companies involved in the demonstration at the Interchange Network Conference in Berlin are not identified in the provided search results. However, this demonstration marks a significant step forward in the integration and optimization of electric truck charging infrastructure.
