Smatrics: Construction and Operation of Charging Infrastructure for Geiger Group
The Austrian charging solution specialist Smatrics has announced the construction and operation of the charging infrastructure for the Europe-wide fleet operations of the Geiger Group. The successful family-owned company, headquartered in Oberstdorf in the Allgäu region, operates in the fields of infrastructure, real estate, and environment with an annual turnover of 700 million euros. The fleet is gradually being converted to electric vehicles at over 100 locations in Germany and throughout Europe, thereby improving the CO₂ balance.
“Green logistics is the future. We are pleased with the trust of the European Geiger Group. The corporate philosophies of Smatrics and Geiger have many parallels. The focus is on optimal and practical e-charging solutions. The order also underscores our competence in the fleet sector,” says Hauke Hinrichs, CEO of Smatrics.
They aim to be greenhouse gas neutral by 2030, which significantly includes the sustainable operation of the extensive car fleet through gradual electrification and self-generated power supply, explains Josef Althoff, Managing Director of Geiger Energietechnik. The green-tech company offers comprehensive solutions for software, hardware, and services.
In partnership with the German company EnBW, the provider offers the Geiger Group, its 3,500 employees, and its customers "everything from a single source." This includes support in the planning of locations, providing the hardware, intelligent load management of charging stations, and the operation of the charging infrastructure. In addition to simple fleet management with the integrated EnBW Smart Mobility Portal, a 24/7 service hotline and corporate billing for individual charging processes are included. For charging itself, the EnBW mobility+ offer includes a roaming-capable app and charging cards for access to more than 500,000 charging points in the European HyperNetz, as well as charging options for home use.
