Spirii and ZE Ports to launch ‘pay-per-km’ truck electrification service

EV charging company Spirii has announced a partnership with mobility firm ZE Ports which will see the two companies deliver an 'end-to-end' electrification solution for heavy-duty commercial fleets. It will focus on helping companies with both trucks and buses move from diesel to battery-electric vehicles.

Spirii, a Danish company, said the partnership will enable “clients to electrify their fleet operations without owning vehicles or infrastructure”, based around a monthly fee per kilometer. Spirii will handle charger installation and a management platform which will provide real-time charger monitoring and operations, pricing tools, and energy management. Meanwhile, ZE Ports will cover the investment in electric trucks or buses plus charging infrastructure, as well as supply of renewable energy.

All of this will be accessible to clients through a fixed monthly fee based on the kilometres driven each month – approximately €1.27 per kilometer for e-buses and €0.90 for e-trucks. Spirii argues that this will reduce the total cost of ownership per kilometer compared to operating diesel fleets: claiming it could amount to estimated savings of €11.7m for a fleet of 35 electric trucks operating 11 hours per day.

Tore Harritshøj, CEO and Co-founder of Spirii, said: “We know that many heavy-duty fleet operators want to go electric, but high upfront costs, infrastructure challenges, and operational complexity often block progress. Together with ZE Ports, we remove these barriers through a turnkey solution that brings together financing, vehicles, charging infrastructure, and advanced platform solutions, helping operators reduce the total cost of ownership and run their fleets more efficiently.”

Mauricio Sardi, CEO and Founder of ZE Ports, added: “Our mission is to make the shift to electric fleets simple and affordable. We invest in e-trucks or e-buses, infrastructure, and renewable energy, and offer it all for a fixed monthly fee. By taking on the complexity and upfront costs, we enable our clients to focus on their core operations while we handle everything related to the electrification, from planning to deployment and day-to-day operation, using premium technologies and best practices.”
