Turbo Energy S.A. (“Turbo Energy” or the “Company”), a global provider of leading-edge, AI-optimized solar energy storage technologies and solutions, has announced the signing of a flagship agreement providing for Turbo Energy to power Uber’s electric vehicle (“EV”) fleet in Spain.
At the heart of the project is Turbo Energy’s proprietary, patent-pending SUNBOX Industry system, an innovative energy storage solution. SUNBOX Industry not only enables large-scale charging but also offers unique functionalities for projects with limited power availability, helping fleets overcome grid constraints that often slow the adoption of electric mobility.
To power 10 high-capacity charging points for Uber, SUNBOX Industry systems were installed to create a 1 MW / 2 MWh smart storage hub, unlocking the ability to charge over 300 vehicles even though the site’s grid connection could only supply 600 kW, covering a third of the power needed to run all the chargers. By adding 1,000 kW of flexible storage capacity, SUNBOX Industry expanded total available power to 1.6 MW – ensuring seamless charging without overloading the grid. With built-in AI control, SUNBOX Industry automatically adjusts charging power based on grid supply and battery status, guaranteeing uninterrupted operation and avoiding costly downtime. This capability makes SUNBOX Industry an ideal solution for companies looking to electrify fleets in areas where grid capacity is limited.
Mariano Soria, Chief Executive Officer of Turbo Energy, stated, “This project represents a milestone in industrial electric mobility, proving that renewable generation, advanced storage and intelligent control can be combined to ensure energy autonomy and operational continuity. Through this partnership with Uber, we are demonstrating a scalable, replicable model for fleet electrification that can help to accelerate the decarbonization of transportation across Europe.”
Uber Technologies, Inc. is a global technology platform that connects riders, drivers, eaters and merchants, empowering seamless mobility, delivery, and freight services across more than 70 countries and approximately 15,000 cities. Uber continues to advance urban transportation through innovation, scale and a commitment to reshaping how people move and get around.
Turbo also worked with INSOLEN on the Uber project.
