The European Investment Bank (EIB) is investing €25 million in German start-up Trailer Dynamics, a pioneer in trailer electrification technology (here’s our interview with the company’s founder, Michael W. Nimtsch). According to the EIB, “this funding will accelerate the company’s scale-up, production, and market rollout, reinforcing Europe’s technological leadership in the electrification of freight transport”.
Trailer Dynamics’ e-trailer technology offers a breakthrough solution for decarbonising heavy road transport. By pairing a conventional truck unit with an electrically-powered trailer with its own battery and electric motor, logistics operators can significantly cut fuel consumption.

“We are genuinely excited to join forces with the European Investment Bank and to have their support behind our electrified trailer technology. The funding provided by the EIB represents a strong vote of confidence in our mission and will play a crucial role in scaling our solution across Europe. This partnership is more than a milestone for us — it’s a meaningful step toward accelerating decarbonisation across commercial transport and proving that cleaner freight is within reach”, said Michael W. Nimtsch, currently CFO of Trailer Dynamics.
“The energy transition cannot wait — it needs solutions that deliver real impact today and compete head-on with fossil-based methods,” added EIB Vice-President Nicola Beer. “Trailer Dynamics’ e-trailer technology does exactly that: cutting emissions, reducing fuel costs, and extending electric truck range without compromising on performance or affordability. By backing this innovation, we’re helping Europe accelerate towards cleaner, smarter freight transport.”
