EROAD helps transport companies run safer, more efficient fleets. By tracking things like driver fatigue and risky driving, their technology helps reduce accidents and improve how fleets operate. This also leads to lower fuel use and fewer greenhouse gas emissions. 

The company provides in-vehicle devices and online software that work together to give transport businesses a full picture of their operations. EROAD operates in North America, New Zealand, and Australia. 
Their key product is the Ehubo—a small device installed in trucks and other vehicles. It records how far the vehicle travels and sends that data securely over mobile networks. This helps companies monitor vehicle activity in real time. 

EROAD’s system replaces old paper-based methods for things like road tax and safety checks. It helps businesses stay compliant with regulations, improve driver safety, and cut down on fuel and emissions. These benefits align with government and industry goals for safer, cleaner transport. 

In short, EROAD’s technology makes life easier for transport companies while also helping the environment.

Founded in 2015 and based in the UK, Octopus Energy Group, operates in over 30 countries through its retail energy business and Kraken, a software platform used by utilities worldwide. While the company supplies both electricity and gas, its electricity is 100% renewable, and it’s actively working to help households transition off gas through technologies like heat pumps and EV chargers. These services are still small but seen as essential for long-term decarbonisation. 

Octopus is also expanding its renewable generation portfolio, now at 3GW across seven countries, and trialling community models like the “Fan Club”, which offers cheaper electricity when local wind turbines are active. Despite the retailing of gas remaining a revenue source, the company is focused on reducing its reliance over time, supported by smart meter rollouts and electrification initiatives. 

Kraken, Octopus’s energy management software, is licensed to utilities serving over 70 million customer accounts globally, helping integrate renewables and manage grid flexibility. Through its combined retail and technology efforts, Octopus is contributing to the broader energy transition and the decarbonisation of household energy use.

Mercury is a New Zealand power company that generates electricity using natural resources like water, steam from underground (geothermal), and wind.  

You’ll find their power stations spread across the country, and they’re also a major provider of electricity, gas, internet, and mobile services to homes and businesses. In fact, they supply about 1 in 4 Kiwi households with electricity and producing nearly 1 in 5 units of power used in New Zealand. 

Mercury is investing heavily in renewable energy projects, with over $1 billion NZD worth of new wind and geothermal developments underway. Their goal is to produce enough clean energy to power over a million homes by 2030.

They’re also helping to build New Zealand’s electric vehicle (EV) future. In partnership with Hikotron, they plan to roll out 500 public EV charging stations by 2026, making it easier for people to drive electric. 

Because wind power works even when rivers are low (which can happen during dry years), Mercury’s focus on wind helps keep the lights on no matter the weather. This commitment to clean energy has earned them strong recognition for sustainability. 

Mercury also offers services including a prepay electricity option for people who want to manage their power like topping up a mobile phone and an EV Subscription Service, which can be a flexible way to try out an electric car without buying one.
