FRYTE is a Munich-based Tech startup, bridging the gap between emerging electric logistics and energy markets. Our SaaS solution empowers dispatchers to plan and optimize charging stops for electric trucks — and supports drivers in real-time to adapt to the realities on the road.

By aligning the needs of fleet operators and energy providers, we reduce charging costs for logistics companies and increase utilization for charge point operators. Our vision is to replace big oil with sustainable transportation. With intelligent software, we bring e-trucks on the road – faster, smarter, and more efficiently.
