Investment company econX. capital GmbH has sold its 50 per cent stake in R:loaded SE to STRABAG AG. Closing of the transaction took place on 30 September 2026. As part of the change in ownership, Oliver Nee stepped down from his roles as Chief Executive Officer and Managing Director of the charging infrastructure firm.
R:loaded was established in 2022 by ALMON Capital GmbH alongside FS Holding GmbH. Over the past three years, the company established itself under the leadership of Oliver Nee as a developer and operator of high-performance rapid-charging sites. An initial milestone was the commissioning of the site in Leipheim, delivered with nine charging points and charging capacities of up to 600 kW. Following completion of the project development, majority shares in the local site operating company were transferred to an investor.
Infrastructure contract from Autobahn GmbH for heavy goods vehicles
A material factor in the company valuation was the involvement in the STRA-loaded bidding consortium, consisting of STRABAG, eLoaded, and R:loaded. In 2026, the consortium secured the contract for Lot 4 in the nationwide tender by Autobahn GmbH to establish a rapid-charging network for heavy commercial vehicles. The project comprises 25 unmanaged rest areas along the motorway network with a total of around 140 charging points. The R:loaded team was significantly responsible for the conception and preparation of the bid.
- —Sale of a 50 per cent shareholding in R:loaded SE to STRABAG AG as of the end of September 2026
- —Departure of founder Oliver Nee from the management of the charging infrastructure specialist
- —Contract award for Lot 4 from Autobahn GmbH with 25 sites and around 140 HGV rapid-charging points within the STRA-loaded consortium
- —Strategic realignment of econX. capital towards mobile storage and energy supply solutions
On the occasion of the transition, Oliver Nee explained that the contract award for the motorway network confirmed the quality of the groundwork achieved and provided a solid foundation for future expansion. With STRABAG AG as sole partner, the operational business of R:loaded SE gained the necessary industrial foundation for the upcoming implementation phase.
Focus on mobile storage and off-grid supply
Following his exit from R:loaded, Oliver Nee is dedicating himself to expanding ALMON Capital GmbH and its subsidiary ALMON Energy. Wholly owned by econX. capital, the company will in future serve as an operational platform for decentralised energy systems. Target markets include industry, commercial, construction sites, logistics areas, and temporary uses where powerful stationary grid connections are lacking or delayed.
The portfolio of ALMON Energy comprises modular battery storage units, mobile rapid-charging stations for commercial vehicles and construction machinery, as well as IT-supported load management systems. In addition to off-grid power supply, the solutions enable peak shaving as well as the commercial utilisation of dynamic grid fees and electricity tariffs, drawing on prior experience in real estate, infrastructure, and digitalisation.
