Highlights from the Fleet! 2026

Fleet & Charge Cloud at the Flotte! Trade Fair in Düsseldorf 2026

Flotte! Der Branchentreff 2026 in Düsseldorf marked an important milestone for Fleet & Charge Cloud. Together with BearingPoint and SAP, we participated with our own presence at the trade fair for the first time – and the feedback was clear: fleet electrification has arrived in the market. Scaling is now the central challenge.

Numerous discussions with fleet managers, IT and finance teams, as well as energy and charging infrastructure providers, highlighted the growing demand for integrated, enterprise‑wide solutions for electric fleets.

From Pilot Project to Scalable Business Capability

In our presentation “The Simplest Path from Kilowatt-Hour to the Cost Center,” we demonstrated together with BearingPoint and SAP why fleet electrification is no longer an isolated vehicle or energy topic, but rather an end‑to‑end system challenge.

While the technology is available, companies quickly reach their limits without a stable, secure, and end‑to‑end process platform, particularly in the areas of:

• System integration
• Cost transparency
• Economic management
• Compliance and governance

Fleet & Charge Cloud addresses exactly this challenge by orchestrating fleet operations, charging, energy assets, and financial processes end‑to‑end.

Key Insights from the Flotte! 2026

The intensive and valuable exchange with customers, partners, and industry experts at Flotte! 2026 clearly showed that many organizations are currently facing the challenge of managing operational complexity, regulatory requirements, and increasing cost pressure at the same time. Traditional silo solutions are reaching their limits.

1. Scaling beats piloting
   Success is no longer determined by the next proof of concept, but by the ability to scale fleet electrification economically and across the entire enterprise – across locations, vehicle types, and organizational units.
    

2. Orchestration is the key

   Sustainable value is created through the integrated interaction of:
   - Fleet management
   - Charging infrastructure
   - Energy assets
   Financial and billing processes without consistent orchestration, data, costs, and processes remain fragmented.

3. Platform beats isolated solution

   A SAP‑native, open platform architecture provides the foundation for:

   - Automation of charge-to-cash processes
   - Real-time transparency into costs, TCO, and ESG
   - Enhanced security, compliance, and governance

   This turns fleet electrification into a robust enterprise capability, enabling scalable, secure integration into existing ERP‑based business processes.
