Cenex NL’s 4th Annual Lenteborrel Expands with New Interactive Features

Cenex NL recently hosted its 4th Annual Lenteborrel (Spring Drinks), marking a significant evolution in the event’s format. For the first time, it was opened to a broader audience and featured two additions: Serious Games and a dedicated Exhibitor Area. Interactive Learning Through Serious Games Professionals from across the mobility and energy sectors participated in two strategic simulation games. Cyclum Vitae Our circularity focussed game challenged participants to evaluate the environmental impact of products throughout their lifecycle, from raw material extraction to end-of-life disposal. Through this gameplay, participants gained deeper insights into the complex trade-offs involved in creating truly sustainable product cycles which sparked interesting discussions. LogiCity LogiCity is designed as a serious game inspired by the intersection of Zero Emission city logistics and interactive gameplay. The methodology is centred on simulating real-world decision-making processes and trade-offs in logistics and sustainability. Participants engaged with scenarios that required balancing economic, environmental, and societal factors while navigating the challenges of urban logistics. Innovation Showcase in the Exhibitor Area The new Exhibitor Area featured seven organizations demonstrating cutting-edge solutions. GoCimo presented a visual mock-up of their battery swapping station for electric mopeds, designed to offer fast and scalable urban EV solutions. Coding the Curbs provided live demonstrations of their Smart Zones platform, which digitizes and optimizes urban curb space for logistics and deliveries. EV Experience shared insights from their electric mobility event focused on driver education and accelerating EV adoption. Swell displayed an operational unit of their wireless charger for mopeds, showcasing practical wireless charging technology. Vereniging DOET, the Dutch electric transport association, shared valuable industry knowledge and highlighted emerging trends and collaboration opportunities. Kempower showcased their innovations in the EV-charging sector, with emphasis on fast and scalable solutions for diverse applications. Watthub presented their experience in developing fast-charging locations for trucks and construction equipment powered by local renewable energy sources, demonstrating integration between heavy vehicle charging and sustainable power generation. Industry Leaders Share Expertise The event featured presentations from prominent speakers across the sustainable mobility sector. Roderick Spanjers from Kempower discussed innovations in Megawatt Charging Systems (MCS) enabling ultra-fast charging for heavy-duty electric vehicles, addressing one of the most significant challenges in electrifying commercial transport. Fenja Günther of Coding the Curbs explored how smart curb management can enhance urban efficiency and sustainability, offering practical solutions for increasingly congested urban environments. Pieter Looijestijn from the Ministry of Infrastructure & Water Management addressed the importance of standardizing EV charging benchmarking for reliable infrastructure rollouts, highlighting the government’s commitment to creating consistent frameworks for evaluation. Esther van Bergen of Cenex NL concluded the program with insights into Cenex NL’s role in supporting the Netherlands’ transition to zero-emission mobility and energy systems, outlining current projects and future initiatives. The event concluded with networking opportunities at A-lab, catered by The Coffee Virus, allowing participants to continue discussions in an informal setting. Following this successful expansion of the Lenteborrel format, the 5th edition in 2026 will build upon the interactive and collaborative approach that made this year’s event so valuable.

Floris Teunissen has started at Cenex Nederland in January as our new assistant technical specialist. He will be working on the EU H2020 funded LEVIS R&D project where he applies his expertise to the integration of eco-design and circular economy principles for several electric vehicle components and perform the Life Cycle and Costing Assessments. Floris just finished a 2-year master Industrial Ecology with a focus on cost-benefit analysis and life cycle analysis. He dedicated his master thesis (scoring 8.5/10) to analysing the ‘influence of integrating life cycle assessments on the cost-benefits results of policies’. For his thesis, he used the Dutch climate agreement policies for stimulating electric vehicles as a case study.” You can read his thesis on the right or click the button to download it. Before his master, he explored his broad set of interests by studying in the field of Humanistics and Psychology while doing his bachelor’s in mechanical engineering. During his studies, he was involved in building an electric-powered racing car competing in the Formula Student international competition. After his bachelors, he worked for the fast-growing solar car manufacturer Lightyear as an HVAC engineer, where he analysed new energy-efficient technologies for the climate system of the solar vehicle. This work gave him the knowledge, experience, and passion to work in the sustainable mobility sector for Cenex NL. “I am very excited about this opportunity by Cenex NL to show what I am capable of. I feel like I have received a very warm welcome by the team and cannot wait for all the exciting projects that are up ahead!” – Floris Teunissen You can download Foris’ thesis via the download button or browse through it on your left, and it is also available at the TU Delft’s repository here.
