The electrification of road freight transport presents logistics companies with entirely new challenges. To make the operation of charging infrastructure for electric trucks more efficient, the logistics charging ecosystem dragonize is partnering with the Cologne-based e-mobility software company chargecloud. Moving forward, the chargecloud OS platform will serve as the technological backbone of the dragonize depot charging network, managing all charging points within the system.
The electrification of road freight transport presents logistics companies with entirely new challenges. To make the operation of charging infrastructure for electric trucks more efficient, the logistics charging ecosystem dragonize is partnering with the Cologne-based e-mobility software company chargecloud. Moving forward, the chargecloud OS platform will serve as the technological backbone of the dragonize depot charging network, managing all charging points within the system.
Dragonize was developed by PamSun GmbH, a subsidiary of the TST Group, and is tailored specifically to the requirements of logistics companies. The system covers the entire lifecycle of e-truck charging infrastructure—from planning and construction to ongoing operations and billing. The goal is to build an integrated charging ecosystem for heavy-duty electric commercial vehicles and enable logistics companies to share their depot charging infrastructure.
As a closed B2B network, dragonize allows members to share private and semi-public depot charging stations. Through the centralized DepotOS platform, charging schedules, reservations, route planning, monitoring, and billing processes are bundled into a single solution. This creates a clear alternative to isolated standalone systems and improves the utilization rate of existing charging infrastructure.
The technical foundation is provided by chargecloud’s hardware-agnostic Charge Point Management System (CPMS). The system handles the control, authorization, and tariff management of the charging points, as well as automated, audit-proof billing for all charging sessions. In addition, the platform enables centralized monitoring of the charging infrastructure and supports the integration of various hardware manufacturers. The system is OCPP 2.0.1-compatible and offers access to various roaming platforms via Hubject, Gireve, and the chargecloud partner network.
According to the companies, the collaboration is particularly designed to facilitate network scaling. New depot locations and additional logistics partners can be integrated smoothly without requiring fundamental system adjustments. Through this partnership, dragonize and chargecloud aim to lay the groundwork to accelerate the expansion of charging infrastructure for battery-electric trucks across the logistics industry.
With this approach, dragonize aims to make charging infrastructure just as predictable and reliable as any other operational process in logistics. At the same time, the partnership highlights the growing importance of digital platforms and interoperable software solutions for the successful rollout of electromobility in heavy-duty transport.
