A sunset over a busy road appears, then rolling b-roll footage of a white truck appears on top. The Shell logo is then superimposed and ripple effects out, leaving just the white truck in focus.
[Visuals]
A triple split screen is then show, with one truck in summer, one in spring and one in winter – all trucks are driving upwards on the screen.
[Voice over]
Imagine a world where electric truck charging works as it should. A world where charge points are where you need them, when you need them.
[Text on screen]
64% of fleets want robust and reliable energy infrastructure1
[Visuals]
B-roll footage of a tolling booth on a motorway. Trucks and cars pass through.
[Voice over]
A world where the cost of accessing charging infrastructure isn’t a dealbreaker. Your driver hits the road, their truck charged overnight and is ready for the route ahead.
[Text on screen]
Cost is a barrier to fleet emission reduction for transport leaders1
[Visuals]
B-roll footage of a busy truck depot, with trucks pulling in to charge. Then the screen splits into 3 with 3 drivers, two male and one female, driving in the same direction. The truck then pulls into an eDepot to charge.
[Voice over]
Along the way, they take a break, pulling in to recharge at another fleet's eDepot. It's part of a shared network, and the driver has a pre-booked slot.
[Visuals]
Birds eye view of a truck driving at sunrise, then a zoomed in shot of a man plugging in his truck to charge. The footage then pans to the Shell Recharge station. The screen then zoomed out to the network for Heavy Duty Fleets across Europe, where all the stations are pinned with lightning bolt icons.
[Voice over]
So, charging here is simple, and paying is easy, too. One card, one tap, back on the road. No delays, no guesswork for you or your driver.
[Visuals]
B-roll of trucks driving on curved road in the mountains. The footage then transitions to a red truck pulling up to charge. The screen then splits into three verticals – showing the Shell Card inserted into a chip and pin machine and the Shell card being tapped on top. The footage then shows a female driver in the drivers seat getting ready to set off. The b-roll then changes to a blue truck with a MAERSK container driving out of the depot.
[Voice over]
It’s what EV charging for fleets should be and the solutions are already available. A growing European network of EV charging infrastructure designed for heavy-duty vehicles.
[Visuals]
Panning b-roll of two MAN trucks charging. Then pans to a man in a high vis jacket plugging in his truck at the Shell Recharge depot. The screen then changes to an animation. The animation has the Shell card in the middle with four lines coming out from it. One is a model of an eDepot which is private, one is an eDepot+ model, one model is roaming network and the fourth model of a Shell Rechange station.
[Voice over]
Charge your own fleet efficiently. Open your private location to partner fleets, or to the public – when you’re not charging your vehicles. Get stable and reduced charging prices per kilowatt hour at Shell Recharge locations. Access hundreds of charging sites operated by Shell’s roaming partners.
[Visuals]
Zoom in on the animated eDepot private 3D model. There are solar panels on the roof and the trucks move. The model then swaps to the eDepot+ 3D model, which is blue and highlights the sharing use of the depot. The 3D model then changes to the semi public 3D model, where the depot is split to the private use section and the Shell Rechange section. The 3D model then changes to the Shell Recharge depot, where the Shell Select kiosk can be seen with the changing stations. The model then changes to a grey roaming network 3D model. Where the trucks drive up to charge.
