How battery storage shapes the future of transport & logistics.

With the rise of e-trucks, forward-thinking transporters are turning depots into energy hubs — where storage, generation, and consumption work together.

Electrifying logistics comes with a new set of realities. To keep operations efficient and profitable, transporters must navigate changing energy prices, limited grid capacity, and the high upfront costs of new technology.

Challenges for the electrification of heavy transport

Unpredictable energy costs

Electricity prices change every 15 minutes — rising when demand peaks and renewables drop. Without intelligent control, charging costs become volatile and unpredictable.

Limited grid capacity at depots

Most depots were never designed for simultaneous high-power charging. Grid upgrades can take years and cost millions — blocking electrification plans.

High CAPEX needs

E-trucks and chargers require substantial investment, often before the ROI is clear. This slows adoption — even for companies ready to decarbonize.

We turn depots into intelligent energy hubs.

Here’s how we do it — step by step.

01

We make your charging sessions predictable.

Electricity prices move all the time.
With smart batteries and intelligent control, you can charge when energy is cheap — and still run your trucks when you need them.

02

We give your depot the power it needs.

Most sites weren’t built for heavy charging.
Our batteries add flexible capacity, so you can plug in more trucks without waiting for the grid to catch up.

03

We take away the investment burden.

Electrification is expensive — trucks, chargers, connections.
We finance the full system, so you get the benefits without the upfront cost.

04

We take care of everything.

From design and construction to daily operation, Bnewable handles it all.
You focus on moving goods. We make sure the energy behind it always works.

We analyze. We develop. You earn.

Joint investment
Bnewable and Montea, a leading Belgian logistics real estate company, are jointly investing in this battery energy storage solution, well located in the port area of Ghent. This initiative fits within Montea’s ambition to reduce the ecological footprint of its sites, lower energy costs, and generate additional value through energy trading. This battery energy storage system is managed by Voltana, Bnewable’s energy management platform, and provides both local optimization and grid services.

Battery-as-a-service
A fast-growing developer of charging sites for trucks often faced challenges due to limitations in the grid connection. Bnewable accelerates the expansion of these charging locations by integrating batteries. These batteries support charging during peak demand and generate additional revenue through trading on the energy market and grid balancing services.

Battery-as-a-service
Bnewable supports a bus company in the gradual electrification of its fleet by installing a smart battery energy storage system at its central depot. This system is connected to a brand-new medium-voltage cabin, the on-site solar panel installation, and the fast-charging infrastructure for the buses. Bnewable optimizes the electricity flows at the site and thereby reduces the charging costs of the electric bus fleet by up to 30%.
