Electrify your fleet - without expanding your grid

Your grid is fixed. Your fleet is growing. Tibo EMS orchestrates charging, storage and solar so every truck leaves fully charged – no grid expansion, no peak penalties.

  • Charge your full fleet within your existing grid contract

  • Save up to 60% on peak energy costs

  • 100% ZEZ-compliant from day one

  • Live dashboard per depot, per truck

the cost of waiting

Every quarter without a plan costs you

Grid expansion takes years

Your e-trucks arrive in months. The grid operator moves in years. Without smart charging, that gap means stranded vehicles.

One bad week sets your peak tariff

Uncoordinated charging creates demand spikes. Your netbeheerder bills the highest peak of the year — every month.

No ZEZ access = no urban routes

City centres are closing to diesel. If your fleet can't enter, the lane goes to a competitor who can.

Curtailed solar is wasted money

Without orchestration, on-site PV gets capped at the meter. Every curtailed kWh is HBE revenue left on the table.

You don't manage the energy. Tibo does.

  1. 18:00

    Trucks return to depot

    Tibo reads tomorrow's route plan from your TMS. It knows which trucks leave at 04:30 with a 280 km run, and which can wait until 09:00.

  2. 22:00 – 05:00

    Charging follows the cheapest hours

    Battery discharges into the depot first. Solar-charged kWh from yesterday gets used. Grid imports only when the spot price drops — and never above your contract.

  3. 04:30

    Every truck rolls out fully charged

    Operations sees one dashboard: SOC per truck, departure status, exceptions. No surprises, no driver waiting at a half-full charger.

  4. 11:00

    Midday solar fills the battery

    PV that would otherwise be curtailed at the meter goes into storage — ready for tonight's charging session. HBE revenue maximised.

How it works

From first call to live depot in months, not years.

01

Energy simulation

We model your full depot before a single cable is pulled — fleet, routes, chargers, PV, battery, grid contract. You see the optimal system on paper.

2–4 weeks
02

Deployment & integration

Tibo connects to your existing chargers, meter and TMS. No rip-and-replace. We commission on-site with your team and validate every interface.

4–8 weeks
03

Live optimisation

From day one, the EMS orchestrates charging, battery and solar in real time — within your grid contract. We keep tuning the model in the background.

Continuous
Works with what you already have

Hardware-agnostic.
No rip-and-replace.

Charging hardware

All major DC fast chargers and AC depot chargers via OCPP 1.6 / 2.0.1, plus direct vendor integrations.

KEMPOWER · ABB · ALPITRONIC · ALFEN · SIEMENS

Fleet & TMS

Pulls tomorrow's route plan and departure times so charging schedules match operational reality, not assumptions.

REST API · CSV EXCHANGE · CUSTOM CONNECTORS

Grid & metering protocols

Reads real-time meter data and grid operator signals — including congestion management and dynamic capacity contracts.

MODBUS · IEC 61850 · GOPACS · S4 / P4 METERS

Battery & solar

Coordinates inverters, BESS controllers and PV systems as one optimised asset pool — not four independent boxes.

Customer story · Lidl Almere

17 electric trucks. Congested grid. 0 kW feed-in.

Lidl Nederland aims to fully electrify store deliveries before 2030. At DC Almere, the grid is congested and feed-in capacity is zero. Tibo turned that limit into the design starting point.

"We're deliberately getting ahead of regulation because sustainability is something we truly believe in. We started in the North Holland region, and not without reason: Amsterdam has the largest environmental zone in the country."

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

An EMS isn’t another dashboard you never open. It’s the control centre that keeps your fleet on the road, without blowing past your energy budget.

<p>It complements your existing control systems. The Tibo Gateway connects directly to your current hardware, enabling optimisation without disrupting operations.</p>
Any controllable device with MODBUS or OCPP support, including solar inverters, battery storage, charging stations, heat pumps and metering systems.
No. The system respects operational priorities and production limits, optimising only within defined parameters.
It tracks energy consumption and emission reductions in real time, delivering data suitable for CSRD, ESG and internal audits.
<p>Most sites see measurable savings and emission reductions within the first months of operation.</p>
Yes. Tibo EMS connects via open APIs to your BMS, SCADA or ERP environment. Energy data, forecasts and performance metrics flow directly into your existing systems, with no double entry or separate dashboards.
