Valkea grows its portfolio by investing in Bamomas, a startup offering a comprehensive solution for battery fleet management

Fortum’s Valkea Growth Club invests in Bamomas™, a battery fleet analytics provider, as a lead investor together with existing investors Grid.VC and JointJourney. The investment not only reinforces the growing battery ecosystem at Valkea Growth Club but also adds value by combining two players working on ensuring more efficient and sustainable use of battery fleets. Fortum-born startup eFleetly was merged into Bamomas before the financing round.

Bamomas is a spin-off company from Tampere University (Finland) developing a comprehensive battery fleet analytics solution. The solution helps battery fleet operators to optimize battery lifespan and implement predictive battery maintenance on a fleet level and down to a battery cell level. Bamomas’ core competencies lie in in-depth Artificial Intelligence (AI) / Machine Learning (ML) based battery predictive analytics, battery connectivity, and remote battery monitoring. Bamomas’ solution focuses on industrial battery fleet operations including material handling, railway, and utility.

eFleetly operates in the customer interface, building on Bamomas’ solution stack. eFleetly is a predictive fleet management solution designed to reduce electric forklifts’ downtime, increase battery lifetime, and optimize fleet charging and utilization. Going forward as one company, the teams of Bamomas and eFleetly will consolidate their knowledge and offering in the area of battery fleet analytics and management, which will help Bamomas take their offering to the next level and beyond.

“We truly believe that Bamomas and eFleetly together can bring significant value to battery fleet owners and operators. Bamomas has been involved as a partner of eFleetly during its development, and therefore transaction felt like a natural step in Bamomas’ growth journey. We are thrilled to have Bamomas joining Valkea Growth Club as the newest addition to the portfolio”, says Ilkka Lassila, COO of Valkea Growth Club. “We see that batteries have a crucial role in our society in enabling the transition to clean energy and the growth of e-mobility, and this investment is a further step in acting on our conviction in the Nordic battery ecosystem”, Ilkka underlines.

The recent investment allows Bamomas to accelerate the commercialization and sales of its solution. “Our team is very excited about Valkea’s strategic investment enabling Bamomas’ further development and growth. Batteries will play an even more important role in the future, and we want to be part of it! In addition to financial investment, Fortum and Valkea’s expertise and know-how in the energy sector and battery recycling are extremely valuable for Bamomas”, concludes Pavel Marek, the Co-founder, and CEO of Bamomas.
