Siemens has announced the intention to carve out its eMobility business. The company bundled its eMobility charging activities in 2018 and subsequently organised it into a separate business unit in 2022.
The company says the carve out of Siemens eMobility will give the business entrepreneurial freedom to transform into a ‘more agile, focused and efficient market player’. Siemens says it will also enable Siemens eMobility to better leverage opportunities in the fast-growing and dynamic electric vehicle (EV) charging infrastructure market.

Siemens also maintains it has made targeted organic investments to build the eMobility business’ technology leadership and strengthen the product portfolio. The business has also executed multiple acquisitions including most recently Heliox, a specialist in DC fast charging solutions, focused on eBus and eTruck fleets. The Heliox acquisition extended Siemens’ market reach, primarily in Europe and North America, while improving capabilities in power electronics.
The upcoming carve-out will combine Siemens eMobility and Heliox into a dedicated legal structure.
“The new setup of eMobility will enable the business to accelerate profitability by focusing on high potential business segments and strategically relevant geographies. It will have more freedom to define its focus areas based on business strengths. This business will be well positioned to foster new partnerships to increase customer access through new sales channels and enrich capabilities in new end markets,” said Matthias Rebellius, Member of the Managing Board of Siemens AG and CEO of Smart Infrastructure. “Building up charging infrastructure for electric vehicles is crucial to achieving the electrification of transport, a central piece in the aspiration to reach net zero by 2050.”
Siemens eMobility offers IoT-enabled hardware, software and services for AC and DC charging from 11 kW to 1 megawatt for a broad range of applications. Today, the business has production and R&D sites in Germany, Portugal, the United States, India and the Netherlands.
