The stake in Park Your Truck GmbH (50.5%), held indirectly via enerlog AG, has returned to its growth path in 2025 and is expecting a new revenue record: After revenue declined from €14.5 million in 2023 to approximately €12.2 million in 2024 due to delays in finalizing new space contracts, Park Your Truck expects a strong increase in 2025, reaching a new high of €18 million to €19 million. Earnings before taxes (EBIT) are also expected to more than double to between €1.5 million and €2.5 million (previous year: €0.6 million, including extraordinary expenses). The range reflects Park Your Truck’s transition to an asset-light model, as the company plans to transfer its own charging stations to partners. These transactions are scheduled to be completed in 2025 or 2026. Park Your Truck  is focusing on its core competencies as one of Europe’s leading truck parking operators and on its digital reservation system. In this context, Park Your Truck has established a strategic partnership with the Dutch company Entent B.V ., a provider of charging infrastructure for commercial vehicles. Together, both companies are driving forward the Europe-wide expansion of charging and parking solutions for electric trucks: Under the Charge Your Truck  brand, Park Your Truck provides suitable locations from its portfolio, strategically located at key transport hubs. Entent  invests in charging infrastructure at these sites, including fast-charging stations that can be reserved.  Through the company's own booking system, drivers, carriers, and fleet operators can not only secure their truck parking spaces but also schedule charging times in advance. This makes predictable vehicle charging a reality in daily operations, eliminating detours and unpredictable waiting times. The result is a Europe-wide charging network with modern hubs for electric trucks that also serve as safe and reservable parking spaces. The partnership between Park Your Truck and Entent represents an important step in advancing decarbonization in the European transport sector. www.park-your-truck.com

Earnings before taxes decreased to approximately €1.2 million (previous year: €1.6 million), including extraordinary expenses of around €0.6 million for the construction of charging stations. Following strong growth in recent years, 2024 was a year of internal consolidation to prepare for further expansion. Key initiatives included new parking spaces, the digital reservation system, and the installation of additional charging stations. The first Charge Your Truck parking lot with charging facilities for electric trucks was opened, and another 25 locations are currently in planning or implementation. Services related to the installation and operation of car and last-mile charging stations were consolidated under the new Charge+ brand. Additionally, around 70 contracts were signed with institutions such as hospitals and universities to install charging infrastructure on their premises. The reservation and booking system, covering more than 130 publicly accessible truck parking spaces across Germany, the UK, France, and Italy, was fully redesigned in 2024 to include route planning and additional user features.   Terraplan GmbH, Munich (35.9%) Its most important holding Meine Welt Reisen GmbH , Leipzig (51.0%), more than doubled its revenue to approximately €3.2 million (previous year: €1.2 million), achieving a slightly positive result for the first time. Based on the current trend in booking figures, sustained positive development is expected in the coming years. Further acquisition opportunities are under consideration.   Maffei GmbH & Co.
