MKB Brandstof

What MKB Brandstof does

MKB Brandstof is a Dutch mobility management platform serving self-employed entrepreneurs (zzp'ers) and small-to-medium businesses (mkb'ers), operating as a trade name of MKB Ondernemers B.V. Founded in 2006 and headquartered in Rotterdam, the company provides a unified business card that consolidates fuel, EV charging, parking, carwash, and international mobility onto a single monthly invoice, currently used by more than 55,000 entrepreneurs. Core products include the Tankpas (fuel card with Europa-tanken international add-on covering 70,000+ European stations), the Laadpas (EV charging pass with both subscription and pay-per-session tiers covering 1M+ European charging points), and four Alfen-sourced smart charging station variants sold or rented under Laadpaal Abonnement and Laadpaal Kopen models. The underlying technology stack combines a mobile-first app with GPS-based parking detection, dynamic load balancing, MID-meter certified kWh measurement, and Peppol e-invoicing that delivers UBL 2.0 invoices directly into customers' accounting software.

The business model is subscription-based with layered revenue streams: tankpas (€10.95/month regular, €4.95 promotional), laadpas abonnement (€7.60/month regular), laadpaal abonnement (€39.90-€84.90/month depending on configuration), one-time hardware purchases (€1,695-€4,295), a mandatory €9.50/month Servicepakket for purchased stations, guest charging pass-through, and home-charging private-electricity reimbursement at €0.32/kWh. Go-to-market is fully digital and product-led: 2-minute online application, SEPA direct debit setup, card delivery within 3 business days, with no field sales force. Marketing channels include a content hub ('Leesvoer'), a monthly newsletter (Wegwijzer), a podcast ('Op Weg met MKB Brandstof'), LinkedIn/X/Facebook presence, and an online decision tool (Keuzehulp), supplemented by referral through the Dutch accountant/bookkeeper ecosystem.

Strategic positioning differentiates the company on the consolidation of mobility expenses onto a single fiscally-compliant invoice, the breadth of accepted-network coverage in the Dutch and European SMB mobility market, and infrastructure readiness for the ERE-registratie (Emissiereductie-eenheden) government reimbursement scheme launching in 2026. Partnerships with ParkBee, Stadsgarages, Wasstraatpas, Alfen, Peppol, Graydon, and ere-registratie.nl form the ecosystem backbone, with the bookkeeper channel acting as a B2B2C distribution layer. The company is privately held with no disclosed external funding rounds and an employee base of 51-100.

Scale indicators5 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights6 records

Direct peers

• MultiTankcard: Dutch SMB-focused fuel card provider offering consolidated invoicing for entrepreneurs and fleet operators. Directly comparable in product (tankpas), customer segment (Dutch MKB/ZZP), and subscription economics.
• Travelcard: European fuel and charging card specialist serving business customers with consolidated billing and multi-country acceptance. Closest functional analog to MKB Brandstof's Tankpas + Europa-tanken stack.

Broad incumbents

• DKV Mobility: One of Europe's largest fuel and service card providers with pan-European station acceptance and toll/charging add-ons. Operates at a much larger scale than MKB Brandstof but competes for the same European SMB mobility wallet.
• UTA Edenred: European fuel and toll card incumbent (part of Edenred group) with deep merchant networks across Benelux and Germany. Comparable in cross-border fuel-card mechanics and SMB/ZZP customer focus.
• Shell Fleet Solutions: Global fuel major's SMB/fleet card program offering fuel, EV charging, and consolidated reporting. Comparable business model and target segment but backed by proprietary Shell station network.
• TotalEnergies Mobility / AS 24: TotalEnergies' mobility card arm (including AS 24) provides multi-energy fleet solutions across Europe. Overlaps directly with MKB Brandstof's cross-border fueling and EV charging proposition for business customers.

Emerging players

• Eneco eMobility: Dutch utility's charging and energy services arm; provides charging cards, business charging solutions, and Peppol-style invoicing to Dutch SMBs. Directly comparable on the EV-charging side of MKB Brandstof's offering.
• Vattenfall InCharge: Vattenfall's public and business EV-charging network in the Netherlands, including charging passes for corporate customers. Comparable to MKB Brandstof's Laadpas + Laadpaal proposition for Dutch SMBs.

Others

• Alfen: Dutch manufacturer of smart charging stations and energy storage, and MKB Brandstof's sole hardware partner for Laadpaal. Directly comparable in EV charging infrastructure and a strategic supply dependency for MKB Brandstof.

Regional players

• ANWB: Dutch mobility association offering roadside assistance, travel, parking, and increasingly EV-charging services. Comparable as a Dutch consumer/SMB mobility aggregator, though less focused on the B2B fleet/invoicing workflow.
