Need and challenge

With a plethora of chargers and charging solutions to choose from, there was a lot to think about – hardware, payment solution, support and much more. The size of Skanska’s vehicle fleet and the additional administrative management made it important to find a simple and flexible overall solution.

Now we have one and the same supplier who solves everything, charging at home, at work and along the way and who takes overall responsibility for the charging solution.
