Fiat Chrysler Automobiles (FCA) has signed two
agreements for new e-Mobility solutions to support the production
and distribution of the plug-in hybrid (PHEV) and full-electric
(BEV) models rolling out as part of the Group’s 2018-2022 business
plan.
Through these agreements, FCA dealers will be
able to offer innovative charging solutions and services to retail
and business customers. This initiative also includes research and
testing of new technologies to reduce the total cost of ownership
of electrified vehicles.
Mike Manley, Chief Executive Officer, Fiat
Chrysler Automobiles said: “These partnerships build on the
e-mobility strategy we announced last year as part of our five-year
business plan We are assembling an eco-system of partners, products
and services across multiple markets to meet and exceed the rapidly
evolving expectations of our customers for electrified
vehicles.”
The two partners, Enel X and ENGIE are both
global leaders in the energy sector. The ENGIE partnership includes
its subsidiaries ENGIE Eps, specializing in energy storage with
which FCA has collaborated for more than two years, and EVBox, a
leader in the production of charging stations. The partners will
work with FCA across all major markets in Europe capitalizing on
the technologies developed in recent years and introducing
innovative solutions for private and business customers. Enel X
will cooperate with FCA in Italy, Spain and Portugal, while ENGIE
will collaborate with FCA in Austria, Belgium, Czech Republic,
Denmark, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Netherland, Poland,
Slovakia, Sweden, Switzerland and UK.
The primary objective of the two partnerships is
to offer private and public charging solutions to support sales of
FCA’s forthcoming electric vehicle line-up including the
soon-to-be-launched Fiat 5oo BEV and Jeep Renegade PHEV.
.
This includes offering customers the option of
installing a home charging point (or “wallbox”) suited to their
specific requirements, including charging optimization and smart
management. Each partner will support FCA customers with the
preliminary feasibility assessment and installation of the wallbox,
as well as ongoing management and maintenance throughout the life
of the customer vehicle and wallbox.
In addition to home charging points, customers
will also be offered cost-efficient and convenient access to public
charging solutions. FCA and its partners will collaborate on the
development of apps that will enable customers to locate public
charging points, as well as book and pay for charging services via
their vehicle’s integrated connectivity capability.
FCA will work with the partners to continue the
training and electrification activities of its dealer network
across Europe. Dedicated training programs have already been
designed for the sales force and other personnel at FCA’s
dealerships. Furthermore, charging infrastructure solutions are
also under development for dealership forecourts, customer parking,
test-drive areas and service centers.
Over the next two years FCA will install
approximately 700 Enel X charging stations at its Italian plants,
offices and R&D centers, as well as employee parking areas,
enabling employees to recharge their vehicles during working
hours. FCA and Enel X will also launch a pilot program for
the development of new charging services and solutions.
