The Federal Republic of Germany has awarded VINCI Concessions subsidiary eliso a contract to install and operate 25 charging stations for heavy vehicles in the north of the country. The contract will run for eight years and covers up to 180 charge points on the principal transport routes.

The charging stations will be designed specifically for electric heavy vehicles, with between three and thirty-six charging points per site and power ratings of up to 1 MW.

The federal government had already entrusted eliso with building and operating 800 fast charge points for electric vehicles across 100 stations in northern, eastern and central Germany in 2023, under the ongoing Deutschlandnetz programme.

VINCI Concessions also operates electric charging stations in France for cars (through its subsidiary Easy Charge, in partnership with VINCI Energies) and has launched projects for heavy vehicles (through its subsidiary Voltix). Together, eliso and Voltix are helping to make electric, low-carbon freight transport in Europe a reality.
