FRYTE Mobility showcases first e-truck charging process with automated reservation

Together with its partners Bosch Road Services, SBRS and Hubject, Munich-based startup FRYTE Mobility presented a decisive milestone for electrified road freight transport at this year's Intercharge Network Conference (icnc25): the first fully automated reservation process for an electric truck charging station based on the new OCPI standard - directly from route planning.
Laying the foundation for electric logistics: New opportunities for fleet and charging infrastructure operators
With the solution presented, FRYTE Mobility lays the groundwork for predictable and reliable electrification of logistics. While charging infrastructure has so far been geared primarily toward passenger transport, road freight transport imposes significantly higher demands: larger energy volumes, more powerful charging processes, and strict conditions driven by time pressure, narrow delivery windows, and legally mandated driving times.
For fleet operators and transport companies, the ability to reserve charging sessions in advance means that e-trucks can be reliably integrated into tight schedules. At the same time, charging infrastructure operators - both in the public domain and at depots - benefit from improved capacity management of their charging points. The reservation function not only has a positive impact on operational processes but also opens the door to future-oriented concepts such as "private" charging point sharing at depots, enabling the creation of customized charging networks.
Reservation functionality must be supported by all systems going forward
The introduction of reservation functions places high demands on integration and interoperability. In order for e-trucks to be reliably incorporated into operations, tour and charging planning, transport management systems (TMS), energy management systems (EMS), and charge point management systems (CPMS) must interact seamlessly. A prerequisite is the dialog capability between TMS and CPMS, with CPMS communication based on the new OCPI standard 2.3. For charging infrastructure operators, the additional challenge is to intelligently link calendar management and energy management. Only through this close interaction can energy demand be precisely secured and the use of e-trucks scaled sustainably.
The foundation for this collaboration is FRYTE's modular cloud ecosystem, which bundles core components such as calendar, route planning, communication, reservation, and monitoring - for both charging infrastructure operators (CPOs) and fleet operators/logistics providers (EMPs). FRYTE is the first player to consistently implement this interoperability based on the OCPI standard.
At the reservation demonstration during icnc25, Hubject acted as the Reservation Hub and B2B marketplace, SBRS as a CPO and Bosch Road Services served as the booking service provider, while FRYTE provided the integration module to connect EMPs' TMS systems. To meet the specific requirements of logistics, FRYTE also leveraged partnerships with JUNA and Fiege Logistik: Fiege Logistik, in its role as operator of charging points and depots, represented the perspective of a private CPO, while JUNA, as a full-service e-truck provider and e-logistics expert, contributed practical expertise.

Maximilian Zähringer, CEO of FRYTE, explains:
"Charging point reservation solves two central challenges. When implemented correctly, it ensures reliable operation of e-trucks for fleet operators and, at the same time, a secure and predictable utilization of charging infrastructure for operators. Interoperability is key to enabling automated booking directly from transport management."
Hartmut Entrup, Director Energy Solutions at FIEGE Logistik, confirms this assessment:
"We are transforming all relevant Fiege logistics sites into energy ecosystems. Optimizing energy flows and costs is therefore one of our most important tasks. Knowing when our trucks and those of subcontractors will charge at our sites is critical. A digitalized reservation process provides us with the relevant information for optimization and gives our partners the confidence that their e-trucks can recharge at our depots."
Thomas Ertel, CTO of JUNA Technologies, adds:
"We are already working with FRYTE today on charging stop planning and POI data through direct interfaces. The ability to make reservations directly from our systems via these interfaces is the next logical and important step."
