DKV Mobility, the leading B2B platform for on-the-road payments and solutions, has completed the acquisition of Belgian e‑mobility platform provider Optimile NV. Through this transaction, DKV Mobility is further expanding its platform business and reinforcing its position in the European e‑mobility market. The shares were acquired from BNP Paribas Fortis and AG Insurance. The parties have agreed not to disclose financial details of the transaction.

“E‑mobility is a key growth driver for DKV Mobility”, says Sebastian Klauke, CEO of DKV Mobility. “By expanding our technology and service capabilities through Optimile, we significantly strengthen our platform strategy and our ability to deliver integrated, end‑to‑end e‑mobility solutions that reduce complexity for our customers across the entire value chain.”

Founded in 2016 and headquartered in Ghent, Optimile develops and operates a modular software‑as‑a‑service platform for e‑mobility service providers and charging infrastructure operators. As a leading player in Belgium’s e‑mobility market, the company offers services such as authorization, monitoring, access management, and pan‑European roaming of charging points. In addition, Optimile operates a consumer‑facing solution under the brand Mobiflow.

“Belgium is one of Europe’s strongest and fastest‑growing eMobility markets, making it an ideal environment for growth and innovation,” said Sven Mehringer, Managing Director at DKV Mobility and responsible for Energy & Vehicle Services. “Optimile has emerged as a fast‑growing leader at the heart of this dynamic market, with deep software expertise in the e‑mobility space. Its clear mission to enable intelligent, sustainable, and user‑friendly electric mobility is an excellent fit with our strategy and our purpose. Under the ownership of BNP Paribas Fortis and AG Insurance, Optimile has developed very successfully in recent years. We will continue this growth trajectory and further evolve the platform.”

The DKV Mobility Group, including Optimile, now manages around 1.5 million charge cards and tokens, as well as over 260,000 charge points, 112,000 of which are public. DKV Mobility's roaming network now offers access to over 1.1 million charge points across Europe. In addition, the combined energy volumes of the DKV Mobility Group companies GreenFlux, Smartlab, and Optimile amount to around 1.400 million kilowatt hours, underscoring DKV Mobility’s expanding operational scale in the European e‑mobility market.

For Optimile and its customers, the transaction ensures continuity while opening up additional growth opportunities. The company gains access to expanded resources to accelerate the further development of its platform and strengthen its market position.

DKV Mobility has been driving a consistent e‑mobility strategy for years. The journey began in 2015 with the launch of the DKV Card +Charge. A key milestone was reached in 2021 with the acquisition of GreenFlux, a leading European provider of charging software. At the end of 2024, DKV Mobility announced a strategic partnership with Aachen‑based Smartlab, a market leader in the aggregation, management, and billing of charging systems. As part of this partnership, DKV Mobility also acquired a majority stake in Smartlab.
