FRYTE Mobility raises €3.5M for eTruck charging coordination
Munich-based startup FRYTE Mobility has raised €3.5 million in a Seed round to develop a coordination layer for electric truck charging. The round, co-led by 4impact capital and Rethink Ventures, with participation from Revent, F-LOG, accilium ventures, and angel investors, brings total funding to €5 million. FRYTE's software platform connects logistics and energy systems, enabling eTruck operators to reserve charging slots in advance and charge point operators (CPOs) to predict utilization. Using open standards like OCPI, the platform integrates transport management systems with Charge Point Management Systems (CPMS). Having processed over 200 bookings, FRYTE will scale operations across Europe, expand its commercial team, and deepen integrations with partners such as TRATON Charging Solutions, MAN Charge & Go, FIEGE, and Fraport AG.
