Based in the Netherlands, Heliox, with its workforce of approximately 330 employees, impacts on Siemens’ eMobility business by adding valuable digitalization and software potential.
The integration of Heliox into Siemens’ eMobility charging portfolio brings forth a range of products and solutions, spanning from 40 kW to megawatt charging solutions, specifically designed for depots and en-route charging. This move allows to enhance Siemens’ capabilities in power electronics and extends its market reach, particularly in Europe and North America.
Matthias Rebellius, CEO of Smart Infrastructure and member of the Managing Board of Siemens AG, pointed the importance of this acquisition in the rapidly growing EV charging infrastructure market. In addition to DC fast charging solutions, Heliox’s offerings include charger monitoring and energy management services, expanding Siemens eMobility’s IoT product portfolio and enhancing its digitalization and software capabilities. The synergy between the two companies’ charging portfolios creates a robust offering for eBus and eTruck customers.
