Should your local government prioritize funding the transition to electric public bus fleets?
Tenix secured contracts with transport operators LETEC, Boreal, and GöVB in September 2026 to manage charging for electric bus fleets. These agreements cover a total of 502 electric buses across Belgium and Germany.
Why it matters
Transport operators are adopting the Tenix Charge platform to manage electric bus charging as they transition their fleets away from fossil fuels. The software uses real-time schedule, power capacity, and price data to automate charging requirements.
The LETEC electrification programme involves 400 electric buses, while the GöVB agreement initiates charging management for 40 vehicles that will grow to 102. Tenix utilizes the Open Charge Point Protocol to communicate with charging hardware from various manufacturers.
The players
Tenix
A technology company that develops software platforms for managing electric vehicle charging infrastructure.
LETEC
A transport operator responsible for bus services in the Wallonia region of Belgium.
Boreal
A transport company that operates transit services across Norway and Sweden.
GöVB
A public transport operator based in Göttingen, Germany, that manages a regional network of buses.
The details
The platform integrates vehicle schedules, depot power capacity, and electricity prices to optimize energy use for transport operators. GöVB, which operates a 275-kilometre network with 31 total routes, also plans to commission a new electric bus depot in 2031.
Timeline
Tenix received research funding from the Research Council of Norway in 2021.
Tenix secured NOK 10 million in research funding from Newday in 2023.
Tenix signed three agreements with transport operators in September 2026.
GöVB charging management for electric buses begins in 2027.
A new electric bus depot is scheduled for commissioning in 2031.
Roadmap
The use of the Open Charge Point Protocol highlights a broader industry shift toward interoperable, vendor-agnostic software solutions for large-scale depot charging. This allows operators to scale electric bus fleets without being locked into a single hardware provider.
These operational upgrades aim to improve the reliability and efficiency of electric bus networks for millions of daily passengers. As operators optimize their charging schedules, they can maintain consistent transit services while lowering energy costs at the depot.
The takeaway
Large-scale fleet electrification requires sophisticated software to balance power demands against tight public transport schedules. Operators are increasingly looking toward automated platforms to manage complex charging needs as they retire diesel-powered bus fleets.
What happens next
GöVB will begin construction on an electric bus depot in 2029, with commissioning expected in 2031. The LETEC electrification programme is scheduled to continue through 2030.
