In a significant strategic partnership aimed at facilitating the transition to electric driving, Mercedes-Benz Belgium Luxembourg & Netherlands and Eneco have joined forces to offer their customers innovative charging solutions.
Whether it is a business driver or a private customer, the collaboration seeks to streamline the process of going electric. Mercedes-Benz customers will now have the option to include an Eneco wallbox installation when purchasing their electric or electrified Mercedes-Benz vehicle.
Mercedes-Benz and Eneco are working together to provide smart charging solutions, ensuring that the benefits of electric driving are easily accessible to Mercedes-Benz customers. The process is designed to be straightforward, with Mercedes-Benz dealers equipped to request and oversee the installation of a new charging infrastructure for customers, eliminating any complications and making the switch to electric driving hassle-free.
Mercedes-Benz Belgium Luxembourg and Mercedes-Benz Netherlands online to offline operations manager Claire D’Haese said: “With Eneco, we have found a reliable partner for offering charging solutions.
