VINCI wins eight year contract for 25 heavy vehicle charging stations across northern Germany

The Federal Republic of Germany has awarded eliso, a VINCI Concessions subsidiary, a contract to install and operate 25 charging stations for heavy vehicles in northern Germany. The eight year contract covers up to 180 charge points on principal transport routes, with sites ranging from three to 36 charging points and power ratings of up to 1 MW. The federal government previously awarded eliso a contract in 2023 to build and operate 800 fast charge points across 100 stations in northern, eastern and central Germany under the Deutschlandnetz programme.

Why it matters: This procurement signals Germany's commitment to electrifying heavy goods transport infrastructure, creating a substantial deployment opportunity for high power charging equipment and services. The award to an established operator with an existing 100 site Deutschlandnetz contract demonstrates the value of track record in securing large scale public charging concessions.
