With the support of a leading European innovation initiative, NexDash advances its mission to make zero-emission freight commercially competitive today.
Berlin, 17 June 2026 — NexDash, the Berlin-based Neo-Carrier electrifying Europe's road freight, today announced €2.5 million in funding from EIT Urban Mobility, an initiative of the European Institute of Innovation and Technology (EIT), a body of the European Union. The investment is a pre-Series A commitment securing EIT Urban Mobility's Series A participation.
NexDash is building the foundation for a new generation of logistics: acquiring established mid-sized trucking companies, transitioning their fleets to electric vehicles, and operating them through its proprietary AI platform, NexOS. Following closely on the company's first acquisition, March Transporte in Rheinbach (NRW), the newly secured funding will accelerate fleet conversion and expansion across its core markets.
The investment was led on the NexDash side by Berit Inga Stranz, VP Sales & Strategic Partnerships.
The collaboration with EIT Urban Mobility marks a key step in advancing sustainable logistics at scale. By combining NexDash's operational model with EIT Urban Mobility's pan-European ecosystem and mission to foster greener, more efficient urban mobility, the initiative aims to accelerate the transition to zero-emission freight while strengthening supply chain resilience across Europe.
"We welcome EIT Urban Mobility on board. Their investment fuels what we do best: electrifying freight — fleet by fleet, route by route, across Europe," said Michael Cassau, Founder and CEO of NexDash.
"NexDash represents a new generation of freight operators in Europe, combining technology and operations to accelerate electrification at scale. We're excited to back this strong team on their journey ahead," said Johannes Kirschner, Investment Manager at EIT Urban Mobility.
