Heidelberger Druckmaschinen AG
Heidelberg increases wallbox sales in Germany, Austria, and Switzerland and further expands e-mobility production
- Fourth wallbox production line goes into operation
- Customers in Austria and Switzerland increasingly |
- Growth in electromobility sales far exceeding planned target
in current financial year
Just as in Germany, electromobility is also gaining momentum in the neighboring countries of Austria and Switzerland. The number of electric vehicles licensed this year in both these countries has
shot up compared with the previous year. In Austria, for instance, the figure for the period from January to September is over 150 percent higher (source: Austrian Federal Association for Electric Mobility). It's a similar story in Switzerland. Here, as in Germany, the private sector accounts for the majority of charging operations
(source: Swiss eMobility).
As a result of these developments, the charging technology of Heidelberger Druckmaschinen AG (Heidelberg) is also becoming increasingly popular in countries outside Germany. This is demonstrated in
particular by the number of wallboxes the company has sold in Austria and Switzerland. The total number of Heidelberg Wallbox Energy Control and Heidelberg Wallbox Home Eco charging solutions sold
to date in these two countries is in the mid four-digit range, meaning that Heidelberg is establishing itself as one of the leading suppliers here, too.
Fourth wallbox production line goes into operation
Given the continuing growth in demand for private electric vehicle charging solutions, including on an international level, Heidelberg has made a further investment at its Wiesloch-Walldorf site
and has just commissioned a fourth e-mobility production line, earlier than originally planned. Having already been doubled at the start of the year, its production capacities are thus climbing
ever higher. Thanks to the fast-growing number of wallbox units being sold, electromobility sales at Heidelberg are also already some way above the total volume planned for financial year 2021/22.
