What nanuq. does

nanuq GmbH is a Cologne-headquartered, privately held company — founded 2024 out of a 2023 master's-thesis project — that sells an integrated system for electrifying commercial truck fleets in Germany. Its offering combines three modules: arctiqOS, a proprietary software platform branded as an "Electric Operating System" that connects tours, vehicles, energy prices and charge points and integrates with customers' TMS, EMS, telematics and CPMS systems; charging infrastructure spanning AC (up to 43 kW), DC fast (up to 400 kW), HPC (up to 600 kW) and MCS megawatt charging (up to 1,500 kW) plus battery storage and transformers; and optimized green electricity delivered via the STARQstrom ecosystem (STARQ&fix fixed tariff, STARQ&pro dynamic tariff) sourced from German solar, wind and battery parks operated by partner PARQ Energy.

The company monetizes this stack through three engagement models: Charging-as-a-Service (CaaS), under which nanuq owns the assets and bills per kWh over 10–15 year contracts with no customer CAPEX; GU-Route, a general-contractor model where the customer owns the hardware and pays a monthly arctiqOS SaaS subscription; and arctiqOS standalone for fleets that already own infrastructure. It sells to German enterprise and mid-market logistics operators — named customers include Graf Transporte, Duwensee Spedition, Alnatura, Bönders Logistics, Deußen Logistik, Essener Ferntransporte, Thomsen + Kühne, Stenkamp Transporte and Nanno Janssen — through direct field sales and consultation-led demand generation, with the Graf Transporte megawatt hub in Bochum (commissioning summer 2026) as the flagship reference site.

nanuq operates with a 1–10 person team led by Managing Director Fabrice Kathmann and COO Marvin Müller-Bader, and brought in Michael Bories as Director Sales & Strategy on October 1, 2025 to scale the commercial function. The capital structure is bootstrapped with no disclosed external funding; ecosystem financing is provided through partner Helio Connect, which underwrites the CaaS asset base. Fleet electrification economics cited in source material include up to 30% lower operating costs versus diesel, up to 80 tonnes of CO₂ saved per truck per year, and several thousand euros per truck per year in toll savings under the EU maut exemption extended to June 2031.

Revenue model

1. Charging-as-a-Service (CaaS): nanuq invests in and owns the charging infrastructure assets. Customers pay per kWh consumed. The rate includes hardware, arctiqOS software, power supply, financing, service & maintenance, re-invest provisions, and insurance. Structural contract duration is 10–15 years per site. This is the primary revenue model and most radical offering with no CAPEX for customers.
2. GU-Route (Generalunternehmer / General Contractor): Customers invest themselves and remain hardware owners. nanuq plans, builds, and integrates charging infrastructure as general contractor. arctiqOS runs as a monthly SaaS subscription. Hardware is purchased one-time from vendors (charging infrastructure, PV, BESS, mobile charging) — vendor-neutral. This is a hybrid model with one-time hardware revenue plus recurring SaaS revenue.
3. arctiqOS Standalone SaaS: arctiqOS software-only on existing customer-owned infrastructure. nanuq handles integration with TMS, telematics, and CPMS systems. Monthly SaaS subscription.

Core offering

nanuq provides an integrated electrification system for commercial truck fleets combining three modules: arctiqOS software (Electric Operating System for route, charging, and energy planning), depot and megawatt charging infrastructure (planning, construction, and 24/7 operation), and optimized green electricity supplied from German solar, wind, and battery parks. Customers can engage via three models — Truck-Charging-as-a-Service (CaaS), GU-Route general contractor with arctiqOS SaaS, or arctiqOS standalone on existing infrastructure.

Product overview

nanuq offers an integrated system for truck fleet electrification comprising three core modules: arctiqOS software (the Electric Operating System), Ladeinfrastruktur (charging infrastructure planning, construction, and operation), and Energie (optimized green energy from German solar, wind, and battery parks). Customers can purchase modules individually or as a unified Truck-Charging-as-a-Service (CaaS) model where nanuq invests and the customer pays per kWh. The ecosystem is supported by PARQ Energy (renewable generation), STARQstrom (energy delivery), and Helio Connect (financing).

Scale indicators6 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights6 records

Emerging players

• Hubject: Berlin-based eRoaming platform connecting EV charging networks. While not a direct charging operator, it is a relevant ecosystem player in the same European charging interoperability space and a potential integration partner for arctiqOS.

Broad incumbents

• E.ON Drive: E.ON's e-mobility business providing fleet charging infrastructure, energy supply, and operating services across Europe. Broad incumbent with utility-scale capability and direct overlap on the German depot charging market.
• EnBW mobility+: EnBW's mobility arm operating one of Germany's largest HPC charging networks, increasingly expanding into fleet and depot charging solutions. Broad incumbent with deep pockets and grid assets; overlaps with nanuq's German customer base.
• Shell Fleet Solutions: Shell's integrated energy and mobility offering for commercial fleets, including depot electrification consulting and energy supply. Major incumbent with capital scale and existing fleet customer relationships across Europe.

Others

• Alpitronic: Italian manufacturer of HPC charging hardware (HYC400, etc.) used in nanuq's reference projects (e.g., Duwensee Spedition). As a hardware supplier, it is an enabling partner rather than competitor, but its growing vertical integration makes it an adjacent comparable.

Direct peers

• Milence: Joint venture between Daimler Truck, Volvo Trucks, and TRATON building a public charging network for heavy-duty trucks across Europe. Most direct competitor to nanuq's truck-focused depot and MCS charging model, with significantly more capital backing.
• Wattif EV: European depot charging-as-a-service provider focused on commercial vehicle fleets (last-mile, delivery, vans). Operates the same CaaS model nanuq uses (per-kWh billing, no CAPEX) and targets a similar depot charging customer base.
• Greenlane Infrastructure: North American public charging network exclusively for commercial trucks, backed by Daimler Truck, NextEra, and BlackRock. Comparable MCS depot strategy though currently US-focused; relevant for the truck-only public charging category.
• Terawatt Infrastructure: US-based developer, operator, and financier of heavy-duty truck charging and battery-swapping infrastructure. Comparable integrated approach to depot/MCS infrastructure for fleets; competitor model nanuq may benchmark for expansion.
• Daimler Truck TruckCharge: OEM-led charging service from Daimler Truck for Mercedes-Benz eActros customers. Direct competitor with built-in distribution to fleets via the OEM sales channel; active in the same MCS depot space nanuq targets.
