Infinium Logistics has appointed Chris Curry as head of EV and energy.
The new European asset management and logistics business said its mission was to ‘lead the commercial transport sector through the energy transition’.
Curry has joined from Bryt Energy, a zero carbon, renewable electricity supplier within the Statkraft group, Europe’s largest generator of renewable energy, where he was head of energy transition.
He previously held roles at British Renewables, Forward Utility and Omnio Energy.
Infinium said he would be responsible for developing and delivering its overall energy and EV charging strategy, including power connectivity, storage and generation, and technology and product development.
The company has already launched the world’s first dedicated EV fleet charging real estate fund.
It said the transition from internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles to electric vehicles was the largest single shift to ever impact the fleet and mobility industry.
Phil Bayliss, CEO of Europe, said: ‘I’m delighted Chris has joined. His deep understanding of the sector and passion for decarbonising energy is a natural fit for our business.’
‘As we all move together towards the 2030 deadline, the transport sector’s transition to cleaner renewable energy sources is non negotiable.
Curry explained: ‘It was clear from the first minute that Infinium Logistics and its investors have a unique vision for this space – not wanting to iterate, but to build the future, embracing the energy transition and the opportunities that it will continue to create.’
‘Infinium Logistics recognises the challenges facing both businesses and the energy system in transitioning to zero carbon fleets and wants to place itself firmly at that apex to create the solutions. The work begins now to deliver a smart, interconnected portfolio of commercial charging assets, sustainably powered and working in harmony with the energy system. “I’m equally humbled and excited to be working in a such a talented team, and fortunate to be backed by investors showing accountability in delivering net-zero.’
