ADDVOLT

In 2019, Addvolt partnered with HAVI Portugal, a globally known name in the logistics sector. Through this, the company will supply their electric plug-in system, which allows refrigeration trucks to use their system for cooling operations, reducing their dependence on diesel, their ecologic footprint and improving the worker’s working conditions (less noise and vibration).

Their system also unlocks the possibility of nighttime delivery in urban areas. This solution allows for energy recovery when the vehicle is breaking or slowing down. Besides this partnership with HAVI, the company has also won the IAA Trailer Innovation Award in the “Environment” category, in 2019.

In 2017, the company secured funding from Portugal Ventures, with Abacus Alpha and Momentum Holding joining the Portuguese VC firm. All three therefore joined 2BPartner as investors in the company, which was already in that role since 2014, the year Addvolt was founded.

In 2016, the company had already achieved a key partnership with Luis Simões, a Portuguese logistics company with over 50 years of experience and over 1800 employees.
