What k2-mobility does

K2 Mobility GmbH is a German software company headquartered in Potsdam, Brandenburg, that develops PANION — a SaaS platform purpose-built for managing charging operations of heavy electric vehicle fleets, specifically E-Trucks and E-Buses. The platform integrates transport plans, vehicle telemetry, charging infrastructure, and grid data in real time to dynamically optimize charge scheduling across depot operations. PANION is delivered as five integrated functional modules — Monitoring, Power Management, Charge Planning, Tours, and Third-Party Charging — and is sold as dedicated solutions for E-Bus Fleets and E-Truck Fleets. The company is privately held, was founded in 2023, and operates with 11–50 employees.

The company generates revenue through a subscription-based SaaS model, distributing via direct enterprise field sales supplemented by a self-serve "Try for free" trial entry point on its website. Its named customers include Amazon Transportation Services (a relationship running since late 2022), ASKO NORGE AS, DB Schenker, Hansea Bus, OKQ8, and Norges Gruppen — spanning e-commerce logistics, food retail distribution, freight forwarding, public transit, and energy/fuels. In September 2025, K2 Mobility completed its first disclosed financing round, raising $4 million led by Brandenburg Kapital with participation from JK Invest, theDOCK, MobilityFund, and ABB E-mobility. K2 Mobility is led by co-Managing Directors Markus Kröger and Dr. Ulrich Kalex.

PANION's competitive positioning rests on vertical specialization in heavy EV logistics (in contrast to broader EV charging point solutions) and on deep integration with operational dependencies including drivers, schedules, tours, energy tariffs, and power infrastructure. The platform employs machine learning and AI algorithms as core optimization engines for dynamic charge scheduling and energy resource management, addressing the structural challenges of heavy electric fleets: 1–3 hour charging cycles, 50–75% of diesel vehicle range, and 350 kW per-truck power consumption.
