A leader in school-bus and transit-electrification solutions is under new ownership. PowerFlex, which delivers intelligent charging solutions for last-mile delivery, municipal, and utility fleets, announced its acquisition of the company late last week.  

As part of the transaction, The Mobility House will become a minority shareholder in the new combined business. 

According to an announcement, the combined organization will offer customers a broader suite of software, energy, and infrastructure solutions while advancing the shared vision of enabling cleaner, more flexible electric grids through intelligent charging and bidirectional energy technologies. 

"This combination is exactly the kind of strategic step the fleet electrification market needs at this moment,” Raphael Declercq, CEO of PowerFlex, said in a statement. “The Mobility House North America has built a genuinely differentiated platform in the fleet segment including vehicle-to-grid capability that is already operating in utility programs, and customer relationships earned over 10 years. Paired with PowerFlex's energy management platform and commercial scale, we can now serve the full spectrum of North American electrification needs from a single, integrated company. Together, we are better positioned to help organizations reduce costs, improve resilience, and maximize the benefits of electric transportation." 

By joining forces, the companies will expand their solutions for customers across a wider range of fleet applications, building on the strengths they already have in vehicle-to-grid and bidirectional charging capabilities. Mobility House customers will gain access to PowerFlex’s project development and engineering capabilities, public charging features, an integrated energy management platform, commercial solar and energy storage, and new opportunities for heavy-duty fleet operators seeking to optimize energy costs and sustainability outcomes. 

Greg Hintler and other members of his team join PowerFlex.  

The companies expect to integrate their software platforms over time to create a unified customer experience and enhance product capabilities with expanded AI-driven features. Existing customer operations and services are expected to continue without disruption.
