German company Eberspächer Climate Control Systems International GmbH and Dutch firm Zeliox Sales B.V. have agreed to establish a new joint venture company with the aim of offering market-leading energy storage systems globally.

Using Eberspächer’s experience as an automotive supplier for special vehicles and Zeliox’s specialism in energy storage systems, the new company Eberspächer Zeliox B.V., will develop and distribute products for mobile power supply in commercial and special vehicles.

Both partners will each hold 50 per cent of the shares in this new company with the aim of becoming the world’s leading expert in all-in-one energy storage systems for mobile applications, which will be of particular interest to the caravan and motorhome market.

Steffen Such (pictured above, right), Executive Vice President of Eberspächer, said: “Thanks to Zeliox’s technical expertise and many years of experience, we are expanding our product portfolio with innovative energy storage solutions in a targeted manner. This is a further step in our aim to offer our customers complete thermal management including the necessary energy as a system supplier. With our global service and sales network, we are a strong partner when it comes to a quick market launch and the corresponding scaling.”

Zeliox Owner, Frank Verkuijlen (pictured above, left), added: “By establishing this strategic partnership with Eberspaecher, we can scale up more rapidly to meet customer needs while also accelerating the launch of innovative solutions to the market. By leveraging the combined strengths of both companies, we position ourselves as a leading player in the vehicle power supply market, offering a more comprehensive, competitive, and innovative product and service portfolio.”

Eberspächer Zeliox B.V. is planning a quick entry into the market with products set to be available in Europe from this April. The North American market will be served in a second step.

The aim is to achieve worldwide availability through Eberspaecher’s more than 20 subsidiaries and twelve general agencies by the end of 2026. The joint venture partners will make their first joint market appearance at construction, machinery and mining trade fair bauma 2025 in Munich.
