TRONITY and Mercedes-Benz Collaborate: Digital Home Charging Reimbursement for Electric Company Car Fleets
TRONITY is launching a partnership with Mercedes-Benz to digitize and simplify the reimbursement of home charging costs for electric company vehicles. Effective immediately, the innovative TRONITY Fleet software solution is available to Mercedes-Benz business customers in Belgium, the Netherlands, and Luxembourg. The solution is expected to launch in additional European countries in 2025 and 2026.
Torsten Born, Co-Founder and CEO of TRONITY:
„The partnership with Mercedes-Benz is a significant milestone for TRONITY. Together, we are creating a digital solution that makes the reimbursement of home charging costs for electric company cars easier and more efficient than ever before. Fleet managers benefit from an intuitive digital process that is transparent and fully GDPR-compliant."
More and more companies are switching their fleets to electric vehicles. However, reimbursing employees for home charging remains a logistical challenge. Traditional methods often rely on costly wallboxes, manual meter readings, or time-consuming photo documentation.
TRONITY Fleet fully automates this process: Using vehicle data, home charging sessions are reliably, securely, and automatically recorded – without any additional hardware. The solution can also be seamlessly integrated into existing IT systems such as SAP.
This enables clearly structured and automatically generated billing reports, while the captured documentation significantly simplifies internal accounting. Upon request, TRONITY can also handle the entire service process, including direct payouts to employees.
Markus Hagel, Head of Charging Fleet Solutions at Mercedes-Benz Mobility:
"With TRONITY, we are gaining an innovative partner who not only understands the challenges of modern electromobility in company fleets, but translates them into a smart solution. Together, we offer our business customers a fully digital and hardware-free way to reimburse home charging costs efficiently and transparently – simplifying their transition to electromobility."
Mercedes-Benz is incorporating TRONITY Fleet as a charging solution for business customers and making it a fixed part of its B2B retail program. TRONITY Fleet will be recommended through all relevant sales channels and actively integrated into customer communications.
More information on the offering is available on the respective Mercedes-Benz country websites: Belgien & Niederlande, Luxemburg.
