Siemens to supply electric vehicle chargers for Electromin’s planned charging network in Saudi Arabia
Kalyana Sivagnanam, Group CEO of Petromin Corporation and CEO of Electromin
The agreement will
ensure supplies of Siemens’ most advanced EV infrastructure technology for
Electromin’s network, including the ultra-fast Sicharge D chargers that use
direct current and the smart VersiCharge AC wall or pole mounted units that run
on alternating current. Electromin is also developing a consumer app that will
allow users to locate public chargers, plan their route and book and pay for
sessions.
“Electromin’s eMaaS
solutions are contributing to the development of the Saudi EV ecosystem, and
this partnership with Siemens will allow us to provide the charging
infrastructure and technology necessary to boost adoption of EVs in the
Kingdom,” said Kalyana Sivagnanam, GCEO of Petromin Corporation and CEO
Electromin. “The rollout of EV charging points across Saudi Arabia is our first
phase of a significant national strategy that extends to 2030 and beyond.”
“We look forward to
working with Electromin on this important project that demonstrates our
commitment to supporting sustainability programs in Saudi Arabia,” said Karim
Mousa, Senior Vice President of eMobility for Siemens in the Middle East.
“Electric vehicles are the key technology to decarbonize road transport, and
Siemens is proud to provide the infrastructure that accelerates the growth of
EVs and contributes to the Saudi Green Initiative.”
Saudi Arabia, the
world’s biggest oil exporter, has committed to achieving net zero carbon
emissions by 2060. The government wants three of every 10 vehicles in the Saudi
capital Riyadh to be EVs by 2030. Globally, passenger electric cars are surging
in popularity, and the Paris-based International Energy Agency estimates that
13% of new cars sold in 2022 will be electric.
