German engineering giant Siemens has been awarded a significant framework agreement by E.ON to supply electric vehicle (EV) charging systems and services across Europe. This marks a major partnership between two industry leaders in the energy and technology sectors.

As part of the agreement, Siemens Smart Infrastructure will provide its cutting-edge Sifinity Control software platform to manage and monitor E.ON's expanding charging network. In addition, E.ON has ordered several Siemens IoT-enabled substations, enabling better energy management for the new charging stations.

This collaboration aims to enhance the charging infrastructure across key European markets, including Germany, Italy, Sweden, and the UK. Though the deal's financial details remain undisclosed, the two-year agreement is set to include the development of additional technologies, such as charging points for electric trucks.

E.ON said the partnership aligns with its ambitious goal of installing at least 1,000 new public high-power charging points annually, helping to accelerate the transition to cleaner transportation across Europe.

Arjan Van Der Eijk, chief operating officer at E.ON Drive Infrastructure, said: "With Siemens, we have another strong provider on board that supports us with its solutions for the expansion of our public charging network in Europe, serving a wide range of current and future use cases. The combination of reliable hardware and tailor-made services ensures a stable network and an optimised charging experience."

Markus Mildner, CEO of eMobility at Siemens Smart Infrastructure, said: "For charging station operators, customer satisfaction and a high level of profitability are the most important priorities. With the high quality and reliability of our hardware and our service offerings, we want to support E.ON in achieving this goal."
