A contract to accelerate electric mobility in Germany
The three contracts awarded to VINCI Concessions under the Deutschlandnetz regional programme amount to an overall investment of €200 million, subsidised in part by the concession grantor. A total of 106 stations with 828 charging points(1) will cover the regions of Berlin, Hamburg and Leipzig. Through eliso, a subsidiary specialising in electric vehicle charging infrastructure in Germany, VINCI Concessions will be tasked with acquiring land, installing the stations and operating them for 12 years. The first site is expected to go into service in 2024. VINCI Concessions will be able to count on the expertise of VINCI Energies (Omexom) for electrical work in Germany, including to install charging points. With this new contract, VINCI Concessions is accelerating its development in the electric mobility infrastructure sector. The company already operates in Germany through its subsidiary VINCI Highways, the country’s leading highway operator. It has five public-private partnerships currently in operation or under construction, representing over 200 km of highways and federal roads.
Background
The quality and density of the charging point network are prerequisites to the rise of electric mobility. In Germany, VINCI Concessions won a call for tender launched by the German Ministry for Digital and Transport, which aims to develop a network of ultra-fast charging points all over the country.
