As reported by Elektromotive
Brighton-based Elektromotive has appointed green mobility experts, The PluginCompany, to install networks of electric vehicle (EV) charging stations across Belgium and Luxembourg. Pilot schemes will see the installation of 20 Elektrobay units in the two countries by the end of this year, ahead of significant further planned rollouts during 2010.
The first project for the two companies will begin next month, with the installation of an Elektrobay at the Brussels headquarters of LeasePlan, the world’s largest vehicle management and leasing provider. Installations at other LeasePlan locations will follow in 2010, supporting the company’s commitment to increasing the availability of low- and zero-emissions vehicles within its European fleets.
Elektromotive and The PluginCompany are working together to educate major businesses and legislators in Belgium and Luxembourg about the benefits of zero-emissions motoring and the need for compatible recharging infrastructures. The two companies will detail the steps that can be taken to quickly implement well-proven Elektrobay networks, in readiness for the arrival of significant numbers of new EVs and plug-in hybrids scheduled for launch over the next three years.
Commenting on the installations, Elektromotive’s Managing Director, Calvey Taylor-Haw, said, “In Belgium and Luxembourg there is enormous potential for uptake of EVs, and it is crucial that the right charging infrastructure and service backup is in place to facilitate their widespread use. Working with The PluginCompany has allowed us to target some major organisations in these markets, and we have quickly secured an order for 20 Elektrobays.”
Leo Van Geyt, Managing Director of The PluginCompany added, “The Elektrobay is a practical and well-proven recharging solution that is attracting significant interest from organisations seeking to reduce the environmental impact of their vehicle fleets. Our aim in Belgium and Luxembourg is to spread awareness of zero-emissions motoring, and we expect to install large volumes of Elektrobays for public and private use next year.”
As the UK’s leading provider of recharging stations, Elektromotive has experienced record growth in recent years, and now boasts an impressive export business that already extends to Ireland, Germany, the Netherlands, Iceland, Sweden and Saudi Arabia. The Elektrobay’s simple-to-use functionality and stylish design has set a benchmark for recharging technology, proving popular among private EV users, fleet customers, commercial businesses and local authorities.
