To achieve this goal the Management Board of the Company has signed a preliminary agreement with Wanbang Charge Equipment Co. Ltd. (Star Charge) – the biggest independent operator of EV charging stations in China.
– Development of electromobility in Poland is largely conditioned by the infrastructure, that is availability of electric vehicles charging stations – claims Mr Maciej Szozda, the President of UNIMOT S.A. – With this in mind, as well as implementing the plan of AVIA expansion on the energy and fuel market we have turned to a renowned supplier of solutions for electric vehicles, that is Star Charge. On the basis of the concluded agreement between our companies we will negotiate terms of cooperation in the scope of distributing the products of SC in Poland and other EU countries. I must admit that we are also interested in purchasing the licence for software to manage the SC network and a mobile application for EV users – explains President Szozda.
Within the confines of the concluded agreement UNIMOT will also analyse the possibility of producing electric chargers based on the Star Charge solution, as well as starting a joint R&D centre in order to develop these technologies.
