Electrification starts with your operation
Not when buying your first (or next) electric truck, nor when purchasing a charger or a battery.
Electric driving only works if it fits into your daily routine.
That’s why we start by looking at your trucks, routes, scheduling, costs, and available power. From there, we determine what’s really needed and build the entire charging and energy system around it—with chargers, battery storage, cable management, energy management, and our own software.
This way, we ensure that your trucks are ready on time for their next trip, your loading yard can scale with your business, and you maintain control over your costs per kilometer driven.
Whether you’re just getting started with your first electric truck or are already well on your way to electrifying your fleet.
The Hedgehog Applications Approach
Here's how we make electrification work in your operations
Understanding Your Surgery First
Which trucks make which trips? When are they out of service? What do they cost now, and when will they be replaced?
Making Realistic Choices
Which trucks will be the first to go electric? What does that mean for your cost per kilometer, and what investment is needed now?
A suitable solution
We determine what’s needed in terms of charging, power, batteries, cable management, and software. Nothing bigger than necessary, but ready to grow with you.
Making Sure It Works
From engineering and installation to software and commissioning. And if a standard solution doesn't fit? Then we'll design or build whatever is needed.
Practice
TopMovers, Oss
For a moving company, no two days are the same. Trucks return at different times, trips sometimes run late, and the next morning, the fleet has to be ready to go again.
That’s why, at TopMovers, we don’t just look at the e-trucks and chargers. We look at the entire operation and the entire site: when do the trucks return, how much electricity does the building use, how much power do the solar panels generate, and when can the battery kick in?
By managing it as a single unit, we use the available power as efficiently as possible.
The result: trucks loaded on time, greater use of our own energy, and better control over costs per kilometer driven.

Benefits for your operation
What's in it for you?
The Right Investment
Not too early and not too big. We determine what you need right now and take future needs into account.
Lower cost per kilometer
We coordinate trucks, loads, energy, and batteries to keep your total cost per kilometer driven as low as possible.
Trucks ready on time
Your loading yard keeps track of your operations so that the right trucks are fully loaded for their next trip.
Better traction and less risk
One party oversees the technical aspects and implementation. So there’s no finger-pointing if something doesn’t work.
Hardware and software that truly work together
-
Reliable chargers for ultra-fast daytime charging or convenient overnight charging.
We are Hedgehog
For well over 13 years we’ve been working on charging technology and energy systems. We know what works, where things can go wrong, and when standard solutions aren’t enough.
We’re a small, close-knit team with extensive technical expertise and short lines of communication. You’ll work directly with the people who design, build, and implement your solution.
From software and energy management to chargers, batteries, and on-site customization: we ensure that everything works as a single system.
Project: Every truck deserves a charge
Co-funded by the European Union
Through this project, Hedgehog Applications and its partners (Powercrumbs, Green Caravan, and A2 Truck Parking) are addressing the growing challenge of grid congestion with a smart, grid-independent charging facility designed for electric trucks.
What we're here for:
Our happy customers
The Hedgehog Method
Het elektrificeren van je vloot doe je niet van de ene op de andere dag. Het is daarom goed om de juiste stappen op het juiste moment te nemen. This way unnecessary costs can be avoiced
Load Management: Integrate your planning tools with your charging software to maximize infrastructure utilization without straining your electrical system.
On-Site Generation & Battery Storage: Use a Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) to store and deploy self-generated renewable energy for charging your trucks.
Optimization: Once the foundation is in place, focus on cost optimization, flexible energy markets, and infrastructure sharing.
Are you able to save energy too?

Case
De Rooy in his own words:
“ChargeBooster ensures that we don’t waste capital due to the seamless scalability of the solution. In addition, we can charge and recharge at the same time which improves operations and scheduling.
Finally, as an entrepreneur, I need a partner who takes full responsibility for solving problems without pointing fingers at others. That’s Hedgehog Applications.”
