Construction group STRABAG AG is stepping up its activities in the electromobility segment. The company has acquired a 50 per cent stake in R:loaded SE. The vendor of the company shares is econX. Capital GmbH. With this stake, STRABAG is specifically expanding its value chain to include the operational management and operation of charging infrastructure for passenger cars, heavy goods vehicles and commercial fleets.
To date, the group's activities in this sector have focused primarily on the construction of the relevant civil and technical facilities. Through strategic collaboration with specialist R:loaded, STRABAG is positioning itself for the future as a provider of integrated end-to-end solutions. This encompasses both participation in public tenders and tailored infrastructure projects for industrial and logistics clients.
Strategic expansion of the value chain
Jörg Rösler, member of the Management Board of STRABAG SE, emphasised the relevance of this partnership for the mobility transition. Electromobility is progressing rapidly and forms a fundamental element of future-proof transport infrastructure. A prerequisite for this is the systematic expansion of high-performance rapid-charging facilities. The investment in R:loaded enables the group to support clients in future across all phases of implementation and management.
Major contract for the HGV rapid-charging network on federal motorways
A first substantial major project within the framework of the cooperation has already been secured by contract. In the summer of 2026, STRABAG, together with R:loaded and technology partner eLoaded, was awarded Lot 4 in Autobahn GmbH's nationwide HGV rapid-charging network. The project forms part of an overarching infrastructure programme on behalf of the Federal Ministry of Transport.
The contract provides for the infrastructural development of 25 unmanaged motorway parking areas in southern and western German regions. A total of 140 high-performance charging points for electric heavy goods transport will be built at these locations. The operation and ongoing site management of these facilities will subsequently remain under the operational responsibility of R:loaded until mid-2034.
