Flexis used this year’s Solutrans show in Lyon to push further into the services side of fleet electrification, unveiling a new multi-brand fleet operations management solution and confirming significant partnerships with Geotab and AMPECO.

The European start-up, which positions itself as a ‘new-generation OEM’, won’t launch its first production van until late in 2026, but the company is moving quickly to build the digital and operational ecosystem it believes will give it an edge over established LCV brands.

It will combine vehicles, software and fleet services under one umbrella, and says the new system is designed to take the complexity out of running electric and mixed fleets.

Alongside announcing the service, Flexis displayed its full line-up of electric vehicles, including its prototype panel van, one of 50 development vehicles built so far, and a step-in van mock-up. The brand remains on track for 2026 production, with open-road testing already underway.

Its digital platform, Interface, was also demonstrated at the event, with new features such as parcel tracking and keyless locking aimed at supporting last-mile operators.

Central to the company’s Solutrans presence was the reveal of its fleet operations management service — a fully managed offering aimed at logistics and last-mile delivery firms. Rather than simply providing data feeds or a telematics layer, Flexis intends to take on the day-to-day burden for fleets, covering maintenance, charging, software management and depot support.

The system is intentionally multi-brand, allowing operators to integrate electric and diesel LCVs from different manufacturers into a single operational view.

Flexis says the model combines real-time data with human input, with its Fleet Advisors visiting depots regularly to keep vehicles online and charging infrastructure working efficiently. Early pilots are said to show meaningful cost savings: one operator running 25 vehicles reportedly saved over €20,000 (£17,600) in three months by optimising charging strategies and improving uptime.

CEO Philippe Divry said the project was born from customers “who wanted to extract real value from their existing fleet data,” positioning services as a core part of the Flexis mission.

To deliver the connectivity and charging layers required for the service, Flexis confirmed two new partnerships. Geotab has been selected to handle telematics and data harmonisation, particularly for fleets that include vehicles that are not natively connected. Flexis says Geotab’s open-platform approach enables it to bring mixed-brand fleets into a single dashboard, giving operators the visibility required to improve utilisation and cut downtime.

EV charging specialist AMPECO has also joined the ecosystem. Its depot charging management platform will be embedded into the Flexis service, providing scheduling, optimisation and reliability tools for operators relying on predictable overnight charging cycles. AMPECO says the partnership will help ensure last-mile fleets have scalable and dependable charging as they grow, with Flexis integrating charging data directly into its fleet operations layer.

Both partnerships form part of Flexis’ broader push to build what it describes as a “vehicle-as-a-service” model. The company says its forthcoming vans will be built as software-first platforms, benefiting from over-the-air updates, predictive diagnostics and integration into customers’ own systems.

It puts Flexis into the same strategic space as services-led players such as Arrival, Rivian Commercial and Ford Pro, all of whom are betting on data-led uptime management as fleets electrify.

Flexis’ first production vehicles are expected towards the end of 2026, with its services ecosystem rolling out ahead of launch as the company scales its presence across European fleet markets.
