Belfius and CenEnergy are joining forces to offer Belgian companies, public institutions and, in the future, private individuals a sustainable and complete vehicle charging infrastructure.
After several years of commercial collaboration, Belfius is taking a majority stake in CenEnergy. With this strategic partnership, Belfius intends to make a resolute commitment to sustainable mobility. And driven by its ESG ambitions to drastically reduce CO₂ emissions in our country in particular and to equip its customers with a sustainable and complete charging infrastructure.
Over the past year, the demand from companies for charging solutions and related advice has increased exponentially. Since from 2026 only zero-emission company cars will be tax-deductible, companies are investing massively in a transition to greener fleets. Private individuals will also need high-performance charging solutions in the future as carmakers switch en masse to the production of electric vehicles. All this is in the context of the binding EU emissions target which stipulates that greenhouse gas emissions must be reduced by at least 55% by 2030.
In this context of zero-emission transition, employers and employees need complete and smart charging solutions with particular attention to safety, worry-free and optimal energy management. At
this area, CenEnergy and Belfius complement each other perfectly.
This strategic partnership was confirmed by a majority Belfius stake in CenEnergy’s capital, with founder Alex Geurts (through Cenim), Ginion Group and Jan Verbruggen, Managing Partner of CenEnergy, remaining as minority shareholders.
Gumption made the decision to exit from CenEnergy based on its incubator strategy to help develop young companies, including in the digital field, and prepare these companies to take new strategic steps.
Jan Verbruggen, Managing Partner of CenEnergy:
“As a Belgian manufacturer of intelligent charging devices, CenEnergy stands out in combined expertise in e-mobility and IT. CenEnergy manages the entire chain, from concept to production, aftercare and energy management. This enables us to execute projects from A to Z. CenEnergy combines innovative, best-in-class charging infrastructure with a software platform for optimal management, designed to guide organizations through the e-mobility transformation. There we strive for the most interesting operational, technical and financial solution for the customer, independent of any energy supplier. After several years of commercial collaboration with Belfius Bank and Belfius Auto Lease, we are delighted to now be part of the Belfius Group. With this strategic partnership, Belfius and CenEnergy confirm their ambitions to bring innovative, quality solutions to the market. Our objective is to achieve the highest customer satisfaction and support customers regarding sustainable mobility and corporate social responsibility.”
