06/02/2019 - E.ON, tra i principali operatori energetici in Europa, e ADL Automotive, azienda leader europea nel noleggio a lungo termine di veicoli, hanno stretto una partnership strategica per sviluppare e commercializzare insieme soluzioni digitalmente avanzate per la mobilità elettrica. La partnership si concentrerà sull’offerta di mobilità elettrica per la clientela privata, aziendale o pubblica in Europa.
Grazie all’accordo ALD Automotive potrà beneficiare delle soluzioni energetiche e di mobilità elettrica sviluppate da E.ON per arricchire la propria attività di noleggio di veicoli a lungo termine. L’offerta congiunta includerà la consulenza, la pianificazione, l’installazione, la gestione operativa e la manutenzione delle infrastrutture di ricarica, a lunga durata, nei siti aziendali, pubblici e privati. La gestione fluida dei dati riguardanti le flotte elettriche e le infrastrutture di ricarica renderanno l’offerta unica dal punto di vista della gestione del parco veicoli. I partner svilupperanno anche soluzioni digitali per il car-sharing volte a favorire la diffusione di una mobilità aziendale sostenibile.
E.ON e ALD Automotive hanno anche firmato un accordo per rafforzare la cooperazione in specifici paesi: Danimarca, Germania, Svezia, Norvegia e Regno Unito.
È stata infatti lanciata questo mese un’offerta esclusiva noleggio di veicoli elettrici riservata ai clienti privati E.ON in Danimarca, per promuovere la diffusione di questa forma di mobilità nel paese dove è già in crescita. I guidatori, oltre a beneficiare delle soluzioni offerte da entrambe le aziende, potranno contare sulla rete di ricarica E.ON Drive presente nel paese scandinavo, che vanta 1.300 punti di ricarica pubblici e fornisce un importante contributo all’obiettivo nazionale di arrivare 5.000 stazioni entro il 2020. In Norvegia invece E.ON e ALD hanno lanciato una soluzione per le flotte elettriche aziendali.
“La realizzazione di una rete di partner è centrale nella nostra strategia ed è fondamentale per elettrificare la mobilità. Unire le esperienze e le eccellenze di settori diversi ci permette di sviluppare soluzioni uniche per rispondere alle esigenze quotidiane dei nostri clienti” ha commentato Andreas Pfeiffer, Global Domain Head of E-Mobility di E.ON “ALD Automotive è uno di questi partner innovativi che ci aiuta a sviluppare un futuro migliore. Partendo dalla nostra offerta congiunta, abbiamo già iniziato a commercializzare soluzioni di mobilità elettrica per i nostri clienti aziendali e privati in Europa”.

ALD Automotive and E.ON sign strategic partnership to develop energy mobility solutions
ALD Automotive, the leading vehicle leasing company in Europe, and E.ON, a leading European energy company, have signed a strategic partnership to jointly develop and market digital enhanced mobility, financing, and energy services. The partnership will focus on mobility offerings for electric vehicles for corporate customers, municipalities and private customers in Europe. Through this partnership, ALD Automotive’s clients will benefit from E.ON’s dedicated e-mobility and energy solutions to enrich ALD Automotive’s electric vehicle service offerings and improve driver experience. The joint offering will include consultancy, planning, installation, operation and maintenance of future-proof charging infrastructure for corporate sites, on the go and home applications. The seamless data handling around electric vehicles and their underlying energy infrastructures for fleet management solutions will make the offering unique. The cooperation aims at making the transition to electric vehicles (Battery-Electric Vehicles and Plug-in-Hybrids) as easy as possible. Hereby, a full-service for fleets and private drivers of electric vehicles will be provided. Furthermore, the partners will jointly develop digital-enhanced e-car sharing solutions to enable the deployment of sustainable corporate mobility. In addition, ALD Automotive and E.ON have signed a cooperation agreement to foster cooperation on a country basis. The commercial cooperation potentially covers joint activities in the following countries: Denmark, Germany, Sweden, Norway and the UK. A unique electric vehicle leasing offer for private E.ON customers has been jointly launched this month. This aims at promoting the adoption of electric vehicles across the early adopter country Denmark. Customers benefit from the advantages of leasing the latest electric vehicles from a leading mobility provider, and E.ON’s intelligent energy home solutions. Moreover, EV drivers have access to the country’s largest charging network E.ON Drive, with 1,300 public charging spots. The all in one offering will be based on an attractive monthly subscription price. Denmark has ambitious climate objectives to support the sustainable transport sector. One objective is to reach 5.000 publicly accessible charging points by 2020 which is strongly supported by E.ON Drive. In Norway, where the electrical vehicle market is developing even faster than anywhere in Europe, E.ON and ALD have also already launched a fleet solution partnership for corporates. The fleet solution simplifies electrification of corporate fleets in a very easy and convenient way by offering electric company car leasing on the same conditions as a conventional car with a fuel card for electricity.
