Decade Energy and Sarrion Global Solutions Sign LOI to Study the Deployment of Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) Across Logistics Hubs in France

Paris, France, Friday 25 July 2025

Summary

  • Sarrion, one of France’s largest transport providers, is studying the feasibility for nine key hubs to be equipped energy infrastructure to power its growing low-emission fleet.
  • The deployment would unlock €2.9M in project value and boosts energy resilience, without any upfront investment.
  • This marks a scalable model for how clean logistics can scale across Europe.

Decade Energy and Sarrion Global Solutions have signed a Letter of Intent (LOI) to study the deployment of Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) across nine of Sarrion’s key logistics hubs in France. Each site will be equipped with a new delivery point (PDL) and on-site energy infrastructure, supporting a broader transformation toward cleaner, smarter transport operations.

The agreement represents a major step toward electrification readiness and long-term energy resilience in road freight logistics. The deployment will unlock €2.9 million in project value over time, while enabling a more flexible and reliable energy supply for Sarrion’s expanding low-emission fleet.

Sarrion Global Solutions is one of France’s largest transport providers, with more than 1,200 employees, a €170M turnover, and a national fleet focused on sustainability through B100, electric vehicle (EV), and low-emission last-mile deployments. The company is also a signatory of the French “Objectif CO₂” Charter and actively manages 186 hectares of forest that sequester over 600 tonnes of CO₂ per year.

As energy becomes a strategic asset for fleet operators, Decade Energy’s turnkey solution, combining BESS, load optimization, financing and grid integration, reduces operational risk and improves total cost of ownership. With no upfront investment required from Sarrion, the deployment ensures immediate environmental and financial impact.

The collaboration is part of a broader push across Europe to scale clean energy access for commercial fleets and logistics operators.
