Detroit eConsulting
Detroit’s eConsulting services are provided by a team of eMobility experts wholly dedicated to supporting customers navigate electric truck conversion. Three service packages are offered, including: Baseline, Powerline, or Megaline. Under the top-tier Megaline package and recommended for large-scale electric truck deployments, customers receive assistance with planning for charging infrastructure, solar panel, and stationary energy storage projects, along with the support of the eConsulting team to interface with local utilities on their behalf. Additional services in the package include a comprehensive cost-benefit and route analysis, and assistance with capital and operating expenditure optimization.
The Powerline package includes similar benefits to those found in the Megaline package, without support for distributed energy resources (e.g. solar, storage) or the interface to local utilities. The Baseline package – free to all purchasers of Freightliner electric trucks – includes best practices and dealership-level consultation. The two higher-tier packages are available to buyers of any electric trucks, and services are not dependent on purchase of a Freightliner truck. Detroit eConsulting solutions and services can be further tailored by customers – in consultation with Detroit – to fit their specific needs.
“Detroit eConsulting is a truly unique offering as we are staffed by experienced experts who have thus far supported more than 20 customers with infrastructure projects and electric truck deployments,” said Rakesh Aneja, head of eMobility, DTNA. “There is no team in the industry better-suited to assist both Freightliner customers, as well as other brands’ buyers, with navigating the transition to electric trucks.”
