Vestas has signed a partnership with Enel X to accelerate the electrification of its company fleet.
Enel X will provide Vestas with a cloud-based charging platform solution, and 370 charging stations.
The charging stations will be comprised of JuiceBoxes, enabling mobile e-vehicle charging, and JuicePoles, enabling the charging of two vehicles at the same time.
The charging network will support Vestas’ service and benefit car fleets across workplace locations in 15 of Vestas’ largest markets, spanning Europe and the Americas.
The collaboration will help enable Vestas towards retiring conventional vehicles in its fleet by 2025, and forms part of its commitment to become carbon neutral.
Once the transition to electric vehicles is complete, Vestas anticipates more than one third of its scope 1 and 2 carbon emissions to be displaced.
Vestas chef technology officer Anders Nielsen said: “If we are to succeed with the energy transition across a global scale, industry leaders have a duty to implement the change we want to see.
“One of our key goals at Vestas is to enable more sustainable energy systems by supporting the increased deployment of renewable energy beyond power and into the transport sector.
“By joining forces with Enel X, we can proudly demonstrate this process of deployment across our own global footprint and help pave the way for a more sustainable future.”
Vestas and Enel X have also committed to identify opportunities to collaborate on developing innovations across e-mobility, grid integration and sector coupling.
