Zenobē, active in fleet electrification and grid-scale battery storage solutions, announces the financial close of a €325 million debt facility from a syndicate of local and global banks to fund the expansion of its electric fleets-as-a-service offering in Europe. Zenobē already supports over 3,400 electric fleet vehicles across 120 depots globally. This new financing ability, combined with Zenobē’s own capital, will support up to 1,000 more electric buses, electric trucks and chargers across the EU/EEA.
Zenobē now has teams on the ground offering electrification services in Germany, Spain, Belgium, the Netherlands and Sweden. In the UK, Zenobē is supporting 130 emission-free buses in Coventry for National Express, and the transformation of Go-Ahead's Oxford depot with 104 charging points. In Spain, it supports a full end-to-end package to support 44 fully electric buses for Grupo Julià. The €42m investment package covers financing of the vehicles and design, construction, maintenance and operation of the charging infrastructure for Grupo Julià. This announcement follows Zenobē's pivotal role in a UK-Canada partnership to electrify Brampton's transit bus network. The €520 million project is expected to support 5,000 direct and indirect jobs in both the
UK and Canada. Zenobé states that this announcement aims to revolutionise urban mobility by financing up to 1,000 state-of-the-art electric buses or trucks, alongside charging Infrastructure across the continent. "We not only offer financial backing but also provides the expert guidance necessary to empower fleet operators to switch to electric. This new facility will help us to make the cleaner option even more financially competitive - reducing any perceived green premiums and in some cases even achieving green discounts," stated Steven Meersman, Founder Director at Zenobē. Zenobē is an international EV fleet and grid-scale battery storage specialist. The company began operations in 2017 and now employs over 300 FTEs.
