Retrofleet
Retrofleet, European leader in electric retrofitting of professional vehicles
Complete solutions reinforced by the CBM group
The range of solutions RETROFLEET covers the design, manufacture and supply of retrofit solutions but also, with the subsidiary MONA Energy, the sizing and supply of charging infrastructures with a very high level of service, thus allowing total control of the complete cost of electrification of vehicle fleets.
Company RETROFLEET integrated as majority shareholder in April 2024 the French group CBM (Car et Bus Maintenance), based in Le Mans, world leader in bus and coach spare parts. This shareholding allows for synergy with the various businesses present in the CBM group, from the marketing of spare parts, to vehicle renovation and bodywork operations with the subsidiary BESSET. This also allows us to structure our capacity to address important markets in France and abroad by benefiting from the solid networks of the CBM group already in place.

The “engineering” department
The "engineering" department covers all design and industrial production activities from the basic concept, prototyping, industrialization to preparation for series production. We aim to maintain control of our technologies with significant investments in the development and production of electronic cards and associated software, but also and especially in energy storage systems.
The “production” department
The "production" department handles the production of storage systems (battery packs), produced on a dedicated production line with a low-carbon micro-factory concept. The pre-assembly of conversion kits on a second production line makes it possible to control and considerably shorten the actual vehicle assembly time (less than 2 to 3 weeks).
The “ready-to-fit” conversion kits are then sent to the sites of our authorized partner installers, RETROFLEET remaining the guarantor of the quality and final delivery of the transformed vehicle. This approach allows vehicles to be transformed as close as possible to customers at 5 installation sites, with the sister company of the CBM group, BESSET (Lyon, Paris, Nantes), our partner the Bacqueyrisses group (Bordeaux). A site located in Lons le Saunier is also authorized for the specific needs of a customer, given the volumes transformed. The transformation time of 2 to 3 weeks allows a rapid switch to electric.
