Prévoté Transport et Logistique is accelerating its energy transition by installing a Chargepoly electric charging station at its Persan site in the Val d'Oise. The objective is to offer a 100% carbon-free charging solution to its customers in a rapidly changing sector.
Prévoté has made “green” vehicles its priority, renewing 93% of its fleet in 2023 with more environmentally friendly models and aiming for 94.7% of transition energy purchases by 2025. The company has set an ambitious target of reducing its greenhouse gas emissions by 25% within three years. After integrating gas and B100 biofuel into the energy mix of its 410-vehicle fleet, the carrier is now focusing on electrification. “As a responsible player and signatory of the Objective CO2 Charter, we have a responsibility to reduce our emissions,” explains Jean-Stéphane Prévoté, co-director of Prévoté Transport et Logistique.
For this first charging station, Prévoté chose the Aix-based charging operator Chargepoly, renowned for the performance and flexibility of its infrastructure. The station, located at Prévoté Location’s Persan site – a branch dedicated to the rental of industrial vehicles with drivers – was set up in December to power two 16-ton electric trucks, one from Volta Trucks and the other from Renault Trucks. Equipped with four charging satellites delivering 200 kW of power, the installation supports daily routes of 150 km in the Paris region for a customer specializing in food distribution for collective catering. The initiative is part of a broader sustainable development strategy. As part of the CEE E-Trans program, Prévoté plans to purchase two additional electric tractors and three electric trucks, with the ambition of setting up 2X8 shifts, thus maximizing the use of the station.
“To successfully transition to electric, we needed a fast and reliable charging solution. Chargepoly appeared to us as the best choice for its flexibility and performance,” says Jean-Stéphane Prévoté. Stéphane Bouvry, head of purchasing and fleet management, shares this opinion: “Chargepoly understood the challenges of electrifying our fleet. The modularity of its installations, its evolving technology, and its membership in the Voltalia group were key factors in our choice. Beyond the quality of the station, it is their vision of the future of electric mobility that convinced us.”
