Our Mission

About 5% of supply chain emissions are a result of last-mile logistics and transportation, and as e-commerce booms, emissions are set to increase more than 32% in the top 100 cities globally.

We are on a mission to become the largest ecosystem of sustainable vehicles in the world; by enabling the electrification of commercial fleets in Europe through connecting fleet operators and service providers in one software platform.

How we work; What we care about:

Move fast - Done is better than perfect.

  • We work on small iterations: Learn, build, test, monitor and repeat.
  • The planet needs action now.
  • We lead change in our industry.
  • There is no better timing than now to execute our vision, but the window is short.

Be passionate and purposeful - Deeply care about everything we do.

  • Believe in our mission, for a better future.
  • Believe in tech for good, let’s have an impact together.
  • Be obsessed with our product, customers and industry.
  • Be part of something that matters.

Strong opinions, loosely held.

  • Speak up, and be opinionated but listen and stay open.
  • We build together.

We win and lose together.

  • We optimise for the success of our mission rather than ourselves.
  • We empower each other.
  • We value transparency and being straightforward (No Bullshit)
  • We don’t like egos.

Have fun - Enjoy the ride!

  • We are a group of friends solving big challenges.
  • We celebrate our successes.
  • We learn from our failures.
  • We don’t take ourselves too seriously.
  • We make our products fun!

    • Ensure the roadmap is responsive to changes and aligned with strategic goals.
  • User Experience & Industry Knowledge:
    • Be obsessed with the user experience (UX) and apply industry knowledge to enhance product offerings.
    • Break down complex problems into simple, actionable solutions.
  • Stakeholder Management:
    • Manage relationships with internal and external stakeholders, ensuring alignment across the business.
    • Enable sales teams by keeping them informed about product developments and expectations.
