In 2012, Dietmar Niederl bought his first electric car – a Renault Zoe. His enthusiasm for electromobility bacame unstoppable.
Also in 2012, Dietmar Niederl initially founded DiniTech as a sole proprietorship. At this time, he was still working full-time as a senior development engineer in a large automotive company.
From 2014, he devoted himself exclusively to DiniTech and changed the legal form to a GmbH in 2015 – the actual start of DiniTech and thus also NRGkick.
The first generation of NRGkick was released in the same year and revolutionized the market. After that, things went uphill for DiniTech.
The first company event was organized. It was an information event about NRGkick on a small scale with only about 10-15 people.
The NRGkick was presented as an innovative charging solution for electric vehicles on “Steiermark Heute” and was thus shown on television for the first time.
In 2020, the groundbreaking ceremony was held for the start of construction of the new DiniTech Competence Center for Electric Mobility. This laid the foundation for the company’s further growth and regional expansion of expertise.
The second generation of the NRGkick, called “Gen2”, followed in 2021 and is now supplied to over 40 countries worldwide. The product is still being further developed and produced regionally at the competence center in St. Stefan i. R.
It quickly became clear that even more space was needed for further development and production. Two years later, the second construction phase of the company site was completed with a tripling of the halls.
In 2023, the long-awaited software upgrade for photovoltaic-led charging was launched for the second generation of NRGkick. A clear moment of success for DiniTech, as the popular feature enables NRGkick users to take a further step towards sustainable mobility and efficient charging.
At the big NRGkick Fleets Day, the NRGkick fleet solution Charging4Fleets was presented to a specialist audience for the first time. Tailored to the needs of fleet customers, the practical system with online portal is already making it easier for numerous well-known companies to manage and bill employee charging.
