NextETRUCK to present calculation tool at CENEX Expo in the UK

NextETRUCK partners from CENEX UK will present the KITE tool at the CENEX Expo. The two-day event will take place on 3-4 September 2025 at the premises of the UTAC proving ground in  Millbrook, UK. The annual event follows the successful 2024 edition that was visited by around 4500 attendees and more than 200 speakers.  

What is the KITE tool?  

The tool, which was developed by NextETRUCK partners from CENEX UK, is a fleet carbonisation strategy tool. This decision-support platform is designed to help fleet operators transition to electric trucks. It enables users to compare diesel and electric options using total cost of ownership (TCO) analysis and environmental impact modelling. By inputting fleet-specific operational data, the tool provides tailored insights into vehicle performance, energy use, and cost implications, helping logistics companies make informed, data-driven choices about electrification. 

In addition to cost and emissions analysis, the tool offers guidance on smart charging infrastructure, including depot charging configurations and route-based charging needs. It integrates digital fleet management features to support optimised scheduling, energy planning, and operational efficiency. This makes it a practical resource not only for evaluating electric truck feasibility but also for planning infrastructure investments and improving long-term fleet sustainability. 

Why should you participate in the CENEX Expo?  

You should consider participating in the CENEX Expo as it is one of the leading platforms in the UK dedicated to showcasing the latest advancements in low-carbon and CCAM technologies. The two-day event provides a great opportunity to engage with policymakers, industry leaders and researchers at the forefront of transport decarbonisation and sustainable mobility solutions. The event includes various panel discussions, an exhibition area, as well as vehicle demonstrations.
