AFRY

AFRY Management Consulting works globally to address challenges and opportunities in the energy, bioindustry, infrastructure, industrial and future mobility sectors. We have 500 management consultants focusing on the energy transition. We work with energy utilities, charge point operators, e-mobility service providers, automotive companies, regulators, and investors on sustainable mobility strategies. We understand electric vehicles and their charging infrastructure – be it for passenger cars, trucks, or buses. We understand how to decarbonise fleets across road, aviation and maritime. Contact gill.nowell@afry.com to find out more.

Trojan Energy

Trojan Energy was formed in 2016 with one mission: to ensure everyone benefits from the energy transition.

Starting with enabling the switch to eMobility, we developed the Trojan Electric Vehicle Charging System. A system that finally offers an equal chance for EV drivers without a driveway to charge effectively at home, while preserving their streetscape.  A system that doesn’t require councils to zone off parking spaces and gives network operators the ability to manage power demand in real time. A system smart enough to offer a convenient way to charge that’s green, cheap, immediate – or a combination of all three – at up to 22kW. A system that delivers flat and flush chargepoints in hubs of up to fifteen, or single units powered by the home, to leave the streetscape uncluttered for everyone. We want to give drivers the confidence and convenience they want to go electric.

We’re doing our bit for the global effort to reduce carbon emissions and improve air quality by supporting electrification and the transition to renewable energy. We’re doing this by addressing the lack of EV charging infrastructure in your local neighbourhood.

We’re charging towards Net-Zero.
