Libergy

Libergy Charging is a provider-neutral software platform that makes e-trucks plannable, reliable and economical. Depot charging alone solves only the easy 20 to 50 percent of freight, and the hard part is the long-haul tour that has to charge somewhere in between, on someone else's infrastructure, at a price nobody can see in advance.

How would you explain your business model?

Libergy is a B2B SaaS business that works in the background and solves the dispatcher's problems. It is like having a super smart co-pilot that always knows what to do and gives you peace of mind. Fleet operators pay a recurring license fee, currently a tiered subscription based on fleet size, moving to a per-planned-vehicle model as fleets scale. This ties our revenue directly to our customers' electrification progress: every additional e-truck they put on the road grows the account, at near-zero marginal cost to us. Currently, we do not sell electricity and do not sit in the payment flow of a charging session, so we are not an eMSP. That is a structural choice, not a limitation: it is precisely what allows CPOs, OEMs, energy suppliers and logistics operators to share data with us and to trust our recommendations. Our leverage is planning, not intermediation, and neutrality is important to us. On top of the license, the platform opens two adjacent, aligned revenue streams as it scales: brokerage of route-specific bilateral charging agreements between fleets and CPOs, where our tour planning provides the volume commitment that makes a direct price possible, and network-side revenue from optimized, pre-booked charging capacity.

What makes your idea unique compared to your competitors?

Everyone in this market is trying to solve electric truck charging at the charge point. We solve it three days earlier, at the moment the tour is planned. That inversion is the whole idea, and it has three consequences no one else combines. First, demand becomes known before it happens: because we plan the tour, we know which truck needs how many kWh, where, and in which 45 minute window, days in advance. A CPO's worst problem is a €500,000 charging hub sitting idle up to 90% of the time, and we can hand them committed, forecastable load instead of hoping traffic shows up. Second, planning creates negotiating power: guaranteed volume on a defined corridor is what unlocks a route-specific bilateral contract at a price a freight business case can actually carry, instead of an ad-hoc roaming tariff, and while competitors need broad network coverage first, we need one good route. Third, radical neutrality: no vehicle OEM, no charger manufacturer, no energy supplier, no captive network. We are the only party at the table with no incentive to steer a truck to a particular brand, which is why all three worlds are willing to connect to us.

Where do you see your company in the next 5 years?

Europe will not electrify road freight one depot at a time. It will electrify when a dispatcher in Rotterdam can plan a Tuesday tour to Milan on an e-truck as casually as she plans it on diesel today, and knows the cost before the truck leaves. That is the moment we are building toward. In five years Libergy is the neutral operating layer for electric road freight in Europe: the planning and booking system that sits between tens of thousands of electric trucks and the whole of Europe's truck-capable charging infrastructure, public, semi-public and private. Capacity is reserved the way a meeting room is reserved, a guaranteed slot, a known price, a known energy amount, through open interfaces rather than closed networks. For the charging industry, that changes the investment case: infrastructure gets built against visible, contracted demand instead of against a forecast. For logistics, it removes the last real reason to order another diesel truck. We intend to be the standard that both sides plan against, and the aggregated demand signal that tells Europe where the next charging hub should actually go.
