Q-Park Netherlands, an owner and operator of off-street parking infrastructure, has announced a collaborative venture with European electric vehicle (EV) charging solution provider GreenFlux to advance its charging services.

As per the agreement, GreenFlux will facilitate the transition of 1,700 of Q-Park's electric vehicle supply equipment (EVSE) to GreenFlux's management system.

The decision by Q-Park Netherlands to adopt the GreenFlux EV charging management platform was influenced by its smart-charging capabilities and various charge point management system (CPMS) features available.

These tools are expected to enable Q-Park to effectively oversee and enhance the performance of its charging stations.

The collaboration is deemed a strategic fit as both Q-Park and GreenFlux share Dutch origins and concentrate their operations within the European market, particularly in key regions such as France, Germany, Belgium, the UK, and the Netherlands.

Moreover, the two firms are focused on offering smart eMobility solutions that align with their sustainability goals.

Q-Park Netherlands managing director Michiel Tenge said: “EV charging is increasingly important for Q-Park as our customers expect to be able to charge while parking.

“The collaboration with GreenFlux provides us with more flexibility and control, allowing us to facilitate our growth ambitions.

In order to initiate the operation of the charge points under the new backend system, GreenFlux was tasked with migrating the Q-Park charge points from their former Shell Recharge back end.

GreenFlux managing director Suthalan Gnanes said: “We are thrilled to see that the Q-Park partnership has been finalised. With the deal, we further expand our presence in the European commercial parking space.

“Q-Park is a well-known parking and mobility brand and has an outstanding reputation. This partnership demonstrates our commitment to drive the future of commercial parking as we now serve the top commercial parking operators in Europe.”
