The Pinneberg district administration was looking for a sustainable and economical overall solution for the electrification of its vehicle fleet. Within a year, GP JOULE not only created the hardware for this pioneering project, but also realised the planning, construction and conversion of the e-vehicles for sharing. This was preceded by a comprehensive analysis of vehicle usage, future requirements and the necessary charging infrastructure. At the inauguration in summer 2020, everyone involved celebrated this milestone in the energy and transport transition: CO2-free mobility for all district administration employees. We will continue to take care of the operation of the charging infrastructure and the integrated PV system and storage system in the future.

"The overall solution with the central charging infrastructure, self-generated regenerative power and the innovative software for booking and managing the shared vehicles is perfect for us. I hope that the concept, which is also economically attractive, will be an example for municipalities and companies all over Germany."
360° - thinking about every aspect
In addition to the e-fleet, the hardware for this fleet also includes 36 charging points and a 64 kWp PV roof system with 50 kWh battery storage on the carports. In the event of a power failure, the integrated storage system supplies the charging infrastructure with climate-friendly electricity for up to two electric cars. GP JOULE installed tailor-made software to operate the large e-vehicle fleet. The smart booking platform and the synchronised fleet management software is integrated into the existing systems and ensures perfectly organised e-driving. The e-vehicles have been converted for sharing and can be booked keylessly via card or app. Driving safety training for the employees and a training session round off the full-service concept.
The investment in the e-vehicle fleet is not only a sustainable measure for the region, it also offers the municipality economically advantageous synergies. The remaining self-generated solar energy is used in the Pinneberg district administration building.
