GERMANY, 1 October 2023: VINCI Concessions, a global leader in infrastructure, energy, and construction, is poised to make a significant impact on Germany’s electric mobility landscape. The company has been awarded three contracts under the Deutschlandnetz Regional program by the German Ministry for Digital and Transport. These contracts, worth approximately USD 212m, are set to revolutionize the availability of ultra-fast electric vehicle (EV) charging stations in key regions, including Berlin, Hamburg, and Leipzig.
Expanding EV Charging Infrastructure
The contracts encompass the installation and operation of 828 charging points across 106 stations. VINCI Concessions, through its subsidiary eliso, is entrusted with the responsibility of acquiring land, installing the charging stations, and operating them for 12 years. The first of these stations is slated to open in 2024. The company will leverage the expertise of VINCI Energies (Omexom) in Germany to handle electrical works, ensuring the seamless installation of these high-power charging points.
Ultra-Fast Charging for a Greener Future
These charging stations will offer a remarkable power rating of 400 kW, currently the highest standard for high-power charging points. This cutting-edge infrastructure will significantly reduce charging times, making EVs more accessible and convenient for users in Germany.
Driving Sustainability and Innovation
This endeavor reinforces VINCI Concessions’ commitment to sustainable development and innovation. It underscores dedication to creating infrastructure that not only improves daily life and mobility but also aligns with environmentally responsible practices.
VINCI’s Impressive Presence in Germany
VINCI Concessions is no newcomer to the German market. The company is already actively engaged in Germany through its subsidiary VINCI Highways, a leading motorway operator in the country. With five public-private partnerships encompassing over 200 km of motorways and federal roads currently in operation or under construction, VINCI Highways plays a pivotal role in enhancing transportation infrastructure across Germany.
Conclusion
VINCI’s winning of the USD 212m contract to establish ultra-fast EV charging stations in Germany signifies a monumental step towards the proliferation of electric mobility in the country. As the company continues to expand its presence in Germany, it reinforces its commitment to creating infrastructure that enhances the daily lives of citizens while promoting sustainability.
These charging stations will not only significantly reduce charging times but also contribute to Germany’s ongoing efforts to reduce carbon emissions and combat climate change. VINCI’s dedication to long-term value creation for stakeholders and society as a whole remains steadfast, positioning the company as a catalyst for positive change in the global infrastructure landscape.
