Siemens has signed an agreement to acquire Heliox, which specialises in charging solutions for electric buses and trucks.
This acquisition will expand Siemens eMobility’s existing portfolio of charging infrastructure to include DC fast-charging solutions for buses and trucks. It will provide additional potential for rolling out digitalised depot and fleet management solutions and software.
In addition, Heliox’s products will also extend Siemens’s market reach, particularly in Europe and North America.
Matthias Rebellius, member of the managing board of Siemens AG and CEO of Smart Infrastructure said:This is an important milestone that adds value to our fast-growing eMobility charging business. In addition to expanding our offering, we see digitalisation and software potential with regard to energy and depot management and services.
Based in the Netherlands, Heliox employs around 330 people. Siemens will acquire the company from private equity firm, Waterland and an entity owned by employees and individual shareholders.
