make visions capital, lead by Martin Klässner, renowned pioneer in electromobility, serial entrepreneur, and investor, has joined forces with Lukas Bauer and Dr. Gerhard Roiss to invest in PragmaCharge, an innovative E-Truck startup.
Klässner, best known for founding has.to.be in 2013, established the company as a market leader in EV charging station billing solutions. In 2021, has.to.be achieved the largest startup exit in Austria’s history. Now, Klässner is turning his attention to the transformative potential of the electric truck sector through his involvement with PragmaCharge.
PragmaCharge offers comprehensive end-to-end solutions designed to help heavy-duty truck fleet owners transition to zero-emission fleets. Their Electric-Trucking-as-a-Service (eTaaS) model includes:
- Duty cycle analysis and fleet electrification planning.
- Electric truck leasing.
- Charging services.
- Repair and maintenance (R&M).
- Electric fleet management software, all provided on a cost-per-kilometer basis.
“We believe the E-Truck sector will develop significantly faster than passenger EV mobility. The technology is already proven, and truck routes typically remain stable over time. This consistency facilitates quicker infrastructure deployment,” Klässner explains. “With PragmaCharge, we are betting on an innovative approach and an early adopter in this emerging yet rapidly growing market.”
While specific investment figures and valuations remain undisclosed, this partnership underscores a shared vision for accelerating the decarbonization of the logistics and transportation industries.
