Tenix, a leader in smartbus and bus charging solutions, has secured 10 million NOK in funding from Newday to further hone their green technology for electric buses. With the proliferation of electric buses increasing over the past five years, the growing necessity and demand for green technological solutions, such as those that Tenix offer, is clear.
Over the past three years, Idekapital has been a staunch supporter of Tenix, and this journey will continue with Rune Holen, Partner at Idekapital, as Chairman of the board.
“Our continued support for Tenix stems from our belief in their innovation and potential to reshape the future of green transportation.” Says Rune Holen
The recent funding from Newday displays further confidence in Tenix as a company, their goals and aspirations, as well as in their smartbus and bus charging solutions. Newday is an investment firm which has a particular interest and involvement in small and medium businesses specializing in technology, making them an ideal investor for Tenix. Trond Stensrud, CEO and partner of Newday will be joining Tenix as a board member.
According to Trond Stensrud, “the immense value that Tenix offers with their green technology was a large selling point.”
Within the next few years, Tenix aims to expand its Norwegian green technology footprint across Europe. Tenix’s green technology focuses on enabling a seamless transition for bus companies adopting electric bus fleets, a transition that more and more bus companies are making.
By providing robust smartbus and charging solutions, bus companies can understand the efficiency, and gain an in-depth and data-driven overview of their electric bus fleet. The acquired funding from Newday will contribute towards research & development to enhance these solutions further and meet the burgeoning demand.
“Securing this funding underscores the belief in Tenix’s vision and capability to alter the bus industry by mitigating the environmental footprint,” said Torbjørn Krøvel, Chief Executive Officer at Tenix.
“Our smartbus and charging solutions are not just a step towards greener transport, but also a stride towards streamlining bus operations for bus companies.”
