The acquisition would add to Siemens’ charging portfolio with Heliox’s technology for e-Bus and e-Truck fleets and passenger vehicles.
The deal would also expand Siemens’ market reach in both North America and Europe.
In addition to expanding its offering in heavy-duty EVs, Siemens also sees digitalisation and software potential with regard to ancillary energy, depot management and other services. The move is highly synergistic.
