Quickly convert a fleet of trucks or buses to electric propulsion for a simple monthly subscription fee, without any investment: that’s the idea behind 7Gen.

Choosing a truck model, building a charging station, connecting and managing the charging stations, optimizing the routes, ensuring maintenance and repairs: there are many tasks to perform and expertise to master when you want to convert a fleet to electric. And that’s not counting the financial aspect, since these vehicles cost more than diesel models. Of course, the energy savings allow the extra cost to be amortized in three to five years, but you have to invest capital at the start.

With 7Gen’s turnkey approach, the switch to electric is profitable from the first monthly payment. Contracts are for five to eight years. Depending on the route and application, several vehicles are available from Lion, Volvo, Kenworth, Ford, GM and others. The same goes for charging stations.

This solution is presented in a recent article by Propulsion Québec, in partnership with Fonds de solidarité FTQ.
