Siemens eMobility Powers Sustainable Transport with Major EV Charging Projects in Italy

(IN BRIEF) Siemens eMobility has been selected as the technology partner for two major EV charging infrastructure projects in Italy, collaborating with Autolinee Toscane and IPLANET. The projects aim to accelerate sustainable mobility by electrifying public transportation and enhancing logistics sites with advanced charging solutions. Siemens will install 73 charging points at bus depots for Autolinee Toscane’s zero-emission fleet and support over 120 IPLANET logistics sites with high-power chargers and renewable energy integration. These initiatives are part of Siemens’ ongoing commitment to driving sustainable transport through innovation and strong partnerships.

(PRESS RELEASE) MUNICH, 15-Jan-2025 — /EuropaWire/ — Siemens eMobility has been chosen as the technology partner for two key electric vehicle (EV) charging infrastructure projects in Italy, collaborating with Autolinee Toscane and IPLANET to support the region’s shift toward sustainable mobility. These projects are set to play a significant role in electrifying public transportation and transforming traditional petrol stations into vital service hubs for the future.

In a partnership with Autolinee Toscane, a leading public transport operator, Siemens will equip bus depots in Florence, Prato, and Lucca with cutting-edge charging infrastructure to support the company’s transition to a zero-emission fleet. The installation of 73 SICHARGE UC charging points will provide reliable, high-power charging at 100 and 150 kW. Siemens will also supply the necessary electrical distribution systems, enhanced with IoT modules for monitoring energy supply and efficiency. To further optimize operations, Siemens will provide DepotFinity, a software platform for managing and reporting on charging activities, helping Autolinee Toscane improve service quality and energy management, including smart charging logic and battery pre-conditioning.

In addition to supporting public transportation, Siemens eMobility is working with IPLANET, a prominent energy transition solutions provider, to enhance over 120 logistics sites with advanced charging solutions. This extensive network will feature hundreds of 300-400 kW chargers and will be fully integrated with Point of Sales (POS) systems compliant with the Alternative Fuels Infrastructure Regulation (AFIR). The charging points will be remotely monitored to ensure high availability and reliability. Siemens will also provide medium and low voltage electrical distribution systems and compact transformer substations, along with integration capabilities for renewable energy sources like photovoltaic systems and energy storage solutions. Some service areas are already operational, including those supporting heavy-duty EVs like e-trucks.

“Together with our partners, we are driving the future of sustainable mobility,” said Markus Mildner, CEO of Siemens eMobility. “These projects demonstrate how Siemens is playing a key role in shaping the transportation and logistics sectors through cutting-edge technology and collaborative efforts, paving the way for a more sustainable future.”

Siemens eMobility continues to lead the charge in eMobility, with a broad portfolio covering everything from AC and DC charging infrastructure to IoT-connected hardware and software solutions, designed for both eBuses and eTrucks. With more than 100,000 charging points installed worldwide and a proven track record in over 60 countries, Siemens is committed to delivering innovative, impactful solutions for the global shift toward sustainable transport.
