Moei, Siemens And Audi - Initiates To Switch To Sustainable Mobility

Sharif Salim Al Olama, Under-Secretary of the Ministry of Energy and Industry said that Electric vehicles are an integral part of achieving net-zero emissions by 2050, and providing fast, efficient and convenient EV charging infrastructure with partners like Siemens and Audi is a crucial step in the energy transition.

By 2026, more than 20 all-electric Audi models will be introduced and the brand is investing in several initiatives focusing on the development of high-performance charging infrastructure in order to contribute to EV readiness in the region as part of its transformation into becoming a key provider of sustainable premium mobility.

“Audi Middle East is delighted to begin this partnership with the Ministry of Energy and Infrastructure and Siemens, which further underlines our commitment to electrification in the UAE as we continue to redefine the mobility of the future,” said Carsten Bender, Managing Director of Audi Middle East.

On June 8, 2022, the Ministry of Energy and Infrastructure said it would deploy ten Siemens Sicharge D 160 kW ultra-fast chargers on the highways in Ras Al Khaimah, Ajman, Umm Al Quwain, and Fujairah which are cloud-connected devices that allow operators to monitor and manage the chargers remotely.

“We look forward to working with the Ministry and Audi on this important project that demonstrates our commitment to supporting sustainability programs in the United Arab Emirates,” said Helmut von Struve, Chief Executive Officer of Siemens in the Middle East. “Siemens is proud to be a part of the country’s embrace of an electrical mobility ecosystem, and to contribute to the UAE Net-Zero by 2050 strategic initiative.”
