Schaeffler announced plans to build more than 5,000 additional charging points for electric vehicles worldwide by 2030, including 3,000 charging points at European locations. The company said the new charging points are part of Schaeffler’s sustainability program. Two German cities, Herzogenaurach and Schweinfurt, will serve as pilot projects for the technology. Following the successful completion of the test phase, the project will be gradually rolled out in all other regions of the Schaeffler Group.
“Schaeffler stands for sustainability and is committed to e-mobility,” said Andreas Schick, chief operating officer of Schaeffler AG. “We are pursuing the higher-level objective of reducing our CO2 emissions on a continuous basis. This includes the carbon footprint for individual mobility. Through this project, we will increase Schaeffler’s attractiveness as a sustainable employer and further motivate our workforce to act in an environmentally conscious manner.”
Schaeffler said the expansion plan for the Herzogenaurach location allows for the construction of a further 245 charging points for employees, company cars and visitors in 2025. In Schweinfurt, the electrical infrastructure will first be expanded to allow the construction of a further 122 charging points. Initial operation is planned for 2025.
