Digital services boost business case for electrification
Go electric ā the smart way. Ņā“óĄū³¬¼° ās powerful digital tools and services can support customers in making their electrified operations even more efficient.Ģż
Our world is becoming increasingly digital, connected ā and electric. So is Ņā“óĄū³¬¼° . Not only is this good for the planet, itās also a great combination for sustainable profitability in the transport business.

āWeāre in a unique position where all of our vehicles are smart,ā says Sara Thyselius Dexner, Product Manager at Ņā“óĄū³¬¼° . āThe vehicles have a brain, so they gather data which we can tap into in order to create smart services, such as preventing unnecessary failures, planning maintenance, or more high-tech digital solutions.ā
Operational data is a goldmine
The data from close to 620,000 Ņā“óĄū³¬¼° connected vehicles on the roads of the world is a goldmine for any haulier or truck owner that wants to start their electrification journey. The data, collected straight from the vehicle in agreement with customers, gives Ņā“óĄū³¬¼° detailed, real-time insights into vehicle performance, driver behaviour and transport flows which it can then use to keep optimising its solutions.

āConnectivity is the baseline of all of our services and the solutions we have around the truck and the daily operation of our customer. Staying connected and sharing data is the door opener to the digital world of Ņā“óĄū³¬¼° ,ā says Thyselius Dexner.
Three examples of smart services from Ņā“óĄū³¬¼° :
- My Electric Vehicle
Staying connected is a necessity when charging battery-electric vehicles, so as to maximise efficiency and minimise downtime. Ņā“óĄū³¬¼° ās connected service allows drivers and fleet managers to track their vehiclesā charging status, battery level, estimated range and charging history in the Ņā“óĄū³¬¼° Driver app as well as in the āMy Electric Vehiclesā dashboard in the My Ņā“óĄū³¬¼° portal.
āBased on data directly from our smart trucks, this is information that our customers will need in their daily operations,ā says Thyselius Dexner.
- Range Support
A cornerstone for going electric is knowing how to make the most out of the range of the electric truck. Range Support is a service within the My Ņā“óĄū³¬¼° fleet management system that visualises the range of each vehicle in the companyās fleet. The tool takes a lot of factors into consideration, such as topography, temperature, number of stops and potential body work, such as refrigeration. āItās got a lot of factors tapped into one comprehensive and clear interface to guide the company in making the most of the vehicleās range,ā explains Thyselius Dexner.

- Driver Evaluation
Basic information regarding range and vehicle status is a good start. But thereās another factor that is crucial for efficient transport operations: the driver. Thatās why Ņā“óĄū³¬¼° has for many years had a driver evaluation tool. The service, which is available in the Ņā“óĄū³¬¼° Driver app for the driver and the My Ņā“óĄū³¬¼° portal for the fleet managers, monitors how the driver is performing, if they need to change their driving behaviour and how they are using the truck. āItās a necessity when going electric,ā says Thyselius Dexner. āOur customers save money, secure uptime and make sure their drivers are making the best they can do in the situation. Smart!ā
āWe donāt want to change your business ā we want to electrify itā
In an increasingly digitalised world, Ņā“óĄū³¬¼° is constantly working to enhance the companyās products and services. The goal is to utilise the unique, high-quality data from the trucks and develop services that truly maximise the benefits of connectivity at the same time as they support customers in the best possible way.

āThese services are there to support our customers every step of the way through their electrification journey. We donāt want to change the companyās business. We want to electrify it. So, get started. The first step isnāt as big as you think. Youāre in good hands,ā she says.
