The KITE Tool
NextETRUCK Smart Tools Supporting Zero-emission Freight Transition
As part of its mission to accelerate the adoption of Zero Emission Vehicles (ZEVs), the NextETRUCK project has developed practical, free-to-use tools designed to support logistics operators, fleet managers, and decision-makers in planning their transition to electric freight transport.
Plan Smarter Fleet Electrification with Data-Driven Confidence
KITE (Key Infrastructure for Truck Electrification) is a free online decision-support tool developed by CENEX UK and CENEX Nederland. It helps fleet managers compare diesel and electric trucks using Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) analysis, assess charging needs, and estimate emissions savings. By using fleet-specific data, KITE delivers tailored insights to support cost-effective, data-driven electrification strategies. Available in English and Dutch, it enables organisations of all sizes to plan a confident transition to sustainable freight operations.
