As part of a low carbon transportation solution for the City of Lincoln, the fast charging units will be primarily used by electric vehicles supplied by Nissan to transport staff, customers and students between Siemens’ Service business and the University. As the City's largest employer, Siemens is setting the standard for other local companies to follow and helping Lincoln preserve its heritage and enhance its long term sustainability. Whilst bringing obvious time benefits to users, the migration from single to three-phase EV charging brings new challenges, not least the need for safe, high voltage and intelligent charging units.

According to Siemens, the company’s solution for the UK market is built on four key components; industry leading fast charging technology, modular back-office management software, extensive contact centre capabilities and comprehensive service packages. All are tailored to meet individual customer requirements and ensure maximum system availability and safety.

Siemens is already engaged in major projects across Europe to devise and develop solutions and business models that will help establish Electric Vehicles as a viable and attractive transport option for the long term.

We are proud to be a delivery partner for Source London, the Capital’s ambitious plan to develop the UK’s largest electric vehicle charge point network with more charging units than petrol stations in the city. Within Source London, Siemens role is IT and services partner for the back office operations, but our capabilities in the Electric Vehicle market extend significantly further and include:

Electric vehicles will deliver considerable benefits to the environment - improving air quality, cutting emissions and reducing noise pollution. Siemens are committed to be a key innovator and player in the successful integration of electric vehicles in the coming years.
