Why transport and logistics companies electrify with Bnewable

Your electric fleet charges even with a limited grid connection

When several electric trucks return to the depot and need to charge before their next run, your existing grid connection quickly hits its limit. A physical grid upgrade can take years and comes with a hefty bill. With virtual grid expansion, Bnewable's battery gives your fleet the extra capacity it needs at the moment it has to charge, so your trucks stay on the road without waiting for the grid.

€0 upfront, low costs for the long run

Buying your own battery quickly ties up a seven-figure sum, capital you'd rather put toward new vehicles. With Battery-as-a-Service, we take on that investment completely: your upfront cost is €0, and you only pay for the capacity you use. Where useful, we also cap your load peaks or optimize your solar self-consumption, lowering your energy costs even further. We trade whatever capacity is left on the energy market, which helps cover our investment and keeps your costs low over the long term.

Put your excess solar to work

A distribution center is mostly roof, so your solar array is large relative to what the building draws. Lighting, cooling, chargers, and a few docks don't come close to using up a sunny afternoon, and the surplus sells to the grid at whatever price the market pays, sometimes below zero. Bnewable's battery storage system captures that surplus and covers your fleet's charging peaks instead. The roof you already paid for finally carries its weight.

Bnewable extends your grid connection
and lowers your electricity costs at the same time

Bnewable's battery storage system provides virtual grid expansion, caps your load peaks, and stores your surplus solar for later. That only pays off if someone manages it actively, deciding when to charge and discharge, for as long as the battery is in use. With our Battery-as-a-Service model, we take care of that for you: investment, planning, construction, and maintenance. You keep focused on electrifying your fleet.

What other transport and logistics businesses like about working with Bnewable

For our tenant DSV, Bnewable managed the construction permit and contract negotiations with subcontractors, and ensured grid connection with the grid operator. Our resources are limited, so our partnership helped us tremendously.

Wie Ihre Logistik-Batteriespeicherlösung aussieht

1

We calculate your savings potential before you decide

Based on your consumption, load peaks, PV generation, and grid connection, we size your battery storage system and show you clearly what savings potential and revenue you can expect.

2

We invest in the battery, you keep your capital

Your CAPEX: €0. We take on the full investment; you only provide the space and grid connection. That means your capital can go into your core business instead.

3

We handle the installation, your operations continue undisturbed

We take care of planning and permits, installation, grid connection, and integration with your Energy Management System (EMS) — without interrupting your ongoing operations or requiring any changes to your existing electricity supply contract.

4

We operate the battery storage system and carry the risk at all times

With Voltana, our energy management system, we keep your battery storage system running at peak economic efficiency around the clock. The software gives you full visibility into usage, revenue, and CO₂ impact. If something fails or underperforms, that's our job to fix, not yours.

5

Your energy costs go down. You receive additional revenue. You carry no risk.

Your electricity costs go down from the day your battery storage system is up and running, without any investment or risk on your part. When you don't need the battery yourself, we trade with it on the energy market, and you receive a share of the revenue. Battery-as-a-Service is designed for a long-term partnership: the better the battery storage system serves your site and the energy market, the more we both benefit.

How does Bnewable
work with transport
and logistics companies?

Your project with Bnewable follows the Battery-as-a-Service model: you pay a fee only when the battery is actively lowering your electricity costs, and you keep the larger share of those savings.

Either way, you reduce your energy costs and earn extra revenue, with no investment, and no extra staff required.
