What is the new Fleetboard Portal and how does it differ from the current desktop solution?

Advantages for you:
Which functions does the new Fleetboard Portal offer?

To whom is the new Fleetboard Portal available?
In principle, the new Fleetboard Portal is available to all existing Fleetboard and Mercedes-Benz Uptime customers. Whether you, as an existing customer, can yet benefit from the new Fleetboard Portal depends on the development status and the services you have booked. Contact your sales partner for more information.
Can I still use the old Mercedes Uptime Portal or the Fleetboard Portal?
The new Fleetboard Portal will fully replace the Fleetboard Cockpit and the Mercedes-Benz Uptime Portal in the future. Once you, as an existing customer, have been invited to the new portal, access to the old system will still be possible for a short time. After that, your user account will be deactivated.
What are the requirements for using the new Fleetboard Portal?
System requirements
For using the new Fleetboard Portal, we recommend the following browsers: Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox or Microsoft Edge. You will need an email address to register.
Hardware requirements
Depending on the current development status, the use of the new Fleetboard Portal requires certain hardware versions in your vehicle. You can find out the supported hardware and the configuration in your vehicle from your sales partner.
How can I get access to the new Fleetboard Portal?
A Fleetboard master agreement or Mercedes-Benz Uptime agreement is required for using the new Fleetboard Portal. Access to the portal is only possible through a personalised invitation by an already existing user. This can provide access to selected fleets and relevant data.

How does vehicle activation and deactivation work in the new Fleetboard Portal?
The procedure for vehicle activation and deactivation remains the same. You can register these as usual using the Support Centre on the Fleetboard website: Fleetboard: Online support centre
Does the “Charging Management” service work with my existing charging stations?
Currently, we can support charging stations from (our partners) Siemens and Engie. We are adding more charging stations and providers to our list every day. We can support all charging stations with ISO15118 and OCPP 1.6 protocols.
Does the “Charging Management” service support the public charging network?
We do not currently support the public charging network, but only the charging stations at depots. We will offer support for these if the public high-voltage charging network is further expanded.
Where can you find information about the state of charge and the remaining range?
The data on the battery state of charge and the remaining range come directly from the vehicle itself.
Does the charging station communicate directly with our backend or with a Siemens backend and then with us via an interface?
The charging station communicates directly with our backend via SIM card or via the customer’s internet connection
Does the load limit apply per vehicle or to the entire column?
For the entire charging station. This then distributes the power depending on the absorption capacity of the vehicles, which are, if necessary, plugged in at the same time via several connections
Who can help me with a problem with my charging station?
Our 1st level then forwards to the corresponding 2nd level of the manufacturer in the event of a hardware problem (with official partners only, i.e. Siemens and EV-BOX).
Are the charging stations initially only available in Germany?
No, in all eActros markets we work together with the charging station partner defined for the market (Siemens or Engie/EV-BOX).
Where can I find my Mercedes-Benz Uptime information?
Your Mercedes-Benz Uptime Portal has been integrated in the new Fleetboard Portal.
Are Fleetboard services mandatory for the use of Mercedes-Benz Uptime?
No, they are not. Mercedes-Benz Uptime is a component of a vehicle-based service contract and is not part of a Fleetboard master agreement.
For which vehicles is Mercedes-Benz Uptime available?
The use of Mercedes-Benz Uptime is only possible in combination with a Mercedes-Benz truck.
The Mercedes-Benz Uptime service is currently available for the “Actros”, “Antos”, “Arocs”, “Atego”, “eActros”, “Econic” and “eEconic” model series if the technical requirements are met, subject to country-specific and vehicle-specific exceptions.
