ENIO and ZELLINGER
Intelligent charging infrastructure as the key to sustainable waste management and low-emission transport logistics
Waste management faces a double challenge. On one hand it makes a substantial daily contribution to the circular economy and to conserving resources. On the other, transport with heavy commercial vehicles is one of the areas where decarbonisation is particularly demanding. High daily mileage, fixed route plans, narrow time windows, heavy loads, short standing times and the need to keep vehicles available make electric mobility considerably more complex for trucks than for passenger cars.
This is exactly where the strategic cooperation between ENIO, a leader in charge point management, and ZELLINGER, a forward-looking company in waste management, disposal and transport, shows how sustainable mobility can work in daily operation.
For a company like ZELLINGER, charging infrastructure is not merely a technical addition but a strategic part of running the whole fleet. Electric commercial vehicles have to be charged reliably, fitted properly into existing operating routines and run economically. What matters is that charging is not looked at in isolation but managed together with route planning, vehicle availability, energy demand, the grid connection, peak loads and the cost structure.
ENIO has built a complete and intelligent charging infrastructure for ZELLINGER that is aimed precisely at those requirements. The solution fits seamlessly into the existing operating processes and creates the basis for running electric mobility efficiently, predictably and at scale in the demanding environment of waste management.
The core elements of the solution:
• Auto Charge for charging without manual authentication — the vehicle and the charge point connect automatically
• Continuous analysis of charge level, state of charge and state of health
• Dynamic load management for optimised distribution of energy
• Fewer peak loads and better use of the available connected load
• Greater transparency over charging, energy consumption and vehicle availability
• Better planning for the daily deployment of electric commercial vehicles
For haulage companies in particular, intelligent load management is a decisive factor. Several vehicles often have to be charged within short time windows without overloading the grid connection or driving up energy costs unnecessarily. The ENIO solution makes it possible to distribute charging power according to need and to run the fleet so that sustainability and economics work together.
ZELLINGER also benefits from the ENIO charging card, which gives access to attractive and transparent rates on the public charging network. That makes charging away from the company's own premises simpler, more predictable, cheaper and easier to account for.
A further economic advantage comes from ENIO handling the GHG quota settlement. Savings and environmental benefits are not only achieved technically but also used efficiently in administrative terms, without any additional effort for ZELLINGER.
A strategic partnership with several benefits
“The cooperation shows that successful decarbonisation in the commercial vehicle sector takes more than a few charge points. It takes partners who understand the operational requirements, manage charging infrastructure intelligently and integrate electric mobility into existing processes,” says Niklas Rameis, Managing Director of ENIO.
With its services, ZELLINGER actively advances the circular economy, the conservation of resources and environmental protection. In the background, ENIO provides the technological basis so that these services can be delivered even more efficiently, more economically and with more confidence in the future.
The partnership makes one thing clear: sustainable waste management does not end at disposal. It also begins with the question of how vehicles, energy and infrastructure work together intelligently.
