DBE Holding subsidiary FOUR and Siemens signed a partnership for the fast charging unit. As part of the agreement, FOUR purchased 50 charging units with an output power of 300 kW from Siemens. DC powered devices can charge electric vehicles in just 25 minutes.

DBE Holding, one of the leading companies in the renewable energy sector, teamed up with Siemens for the fast charging unit. Under the agreement, FOUR, a subsidiary of DBE Holding, purchased 50 fast charging stations from Siemens. Mehmet Taha Pınar, Chairman of the Board of Directors of DBE Holding, wished that the agreement they entered into with Siemens would be fruitful for all stakeholders in the sector.

Charging time is reduced to 25 minutes

Pınar reviewed the details of the agreement and said: “We are continuing our partnership with Siemens. We signed another agreement with them. Under the agreement, we will buy 50 fast chargers with an output power of 300 kW. Under this investment, our purchase in the ongoing process will reach 350 units. We strive for a sustainable infrastructure system throughout Turkey by increasing the number of stations by FOUR, which we take as our starting point. Currently, there are about 3,500 charging stations in Turkey that are open to the public. 95 percent of these have a capacity of 22 kW and the filling times of these products can be up to 4-6 hours. The products we will be using are direct current devices with an output power of 300 kW. However, the charging times are reduced to 25 minutes compared to the batteries of the vehicles.” said.

Pınar made evaluations on charging stations for electric vehicles and said: “With this agreement, our goal is to achieve a widespread network from the start. Today we have to implement the technology of the future. We will produce completely environmentally friendly by using the energy from the stations that we are going to set up from renewable sources.With this opportunity, we are paving the way for the transformation from heavy vehicles to electric vehicles.Dc charging stations located in our country have output power of 50-100 kW, although these devices are becoming fast chargers in Turkey they are divided into two in Europe as “Supercharger” and “Rapidcharger”.It is exciting for us to install the first Turkish fast chargers in Turkey together with Siemens. We know that our country is going through a transformation in the field of electric vehicles At the same time, we are planning for the future with the realization that blockchain-based technologies are its business will increase in every area. In this regard, it is a very important development for our country that sustainable energy is managed with a blockchain-based YEK-G certificate. For this reason, we will provide our blockchain-integrated infrastructure so that the service we will provide can serve on a carbon-free basis within the scope of the Kyoto Protocol. At the same time, while providing a charging service; We are about to complete our R&D activities for an infrastructure in which Blockchain / Electricity Storage / Demand Balancing / Renewable Energy Production will operate fully integrated. The fact that our country is ready for the next generation technology as infrastructure, the evolving user demand and this collaboration with Siemens shows that we are taking the right steps for the future.”

“We are working towards a CO2-neutral economy with our technology production, that is the goal”

Commenting on the partnership agreement with FOUR, Hüseyin Gelis, Chairman and CEO of Siemens Turkey, said: “We are working towards a carbon neutral future with our DEGREE strategy, which we have implemented as part of our sustainability-based growth strategy. DEGREE is the name of our 6 priorities: decarbonisation, ethics, governance, resource efficiency, equity and employability.” said.

Gelis stated that they are acting with the approach of ‘Transforming the Present for the Future’ and said: “As Siemens Turkey, we have been leading the technological development of our country for more than 165 years. We strive to create benefits for industries, the environment and the world by producing technology with purpose. To support the energy efficiency and sustainability studies of the institutions we partner and serve,Our main goal is to contribute to a carbon neutral future. We are aware of the importance of electric vehicles for a sustainable future. From a technological point of view, we produce fast chargers in this field and offer them to use. In this context I find our collaboration with VIER, a subsidiary of DBE Holding, very valuable and consider it an important step towards a sustainable future. “He finished his speech.
