charger manufacturing facility in U.S. state of Texas
09 May, 2022 – Arcadis (EURONEXT: ARCAD) has
been selected to manage the design and development program for
Wallbox’s new electric vehicle (EV) charger manufacturing facility
in Arlington, Texas, in the U.S. After a collaborative design
process, Wallbox began construction of the 130,000 square foot
facility in April.
The plant will go into production in Q3 and is expected to
produce 250,000 units in 2022. By 2025, the facility is expected to
produce over 500,000 units annually. Wallbox’s chargers are
compatible with all electric vehicles, making the new facility
conducive to EV growth in the U.S. In addition to manufacturing,
the site will also feature offices, labs, evaluation areas and a
warehouse, and is expected to create 250 high-paying green jobs in
the region.
Ketan Maroo, vice president of industrial infrastructure
at Arcadis, said: “Charging infrastructure and
manufacturing are critical to supporting EV adoption. EV adoption
is essential in reducing greenhouse gas emissions and mitigating
the effects of climate change. Our team is proud to play a part in
driving sustainable mobility forward.”
Mark Cowlard, Global President of Places at Arcadis,
added, “Although EV technology is relatively new, at
Arcadis we have decades of experience in delivering large-scale
manufacturing facilities, particularly for the automotive industry,
and understanding the procedural and physical requirements of
working with clients in this space give us a solid foundation of
knowledge on which to build. EVs will soon be a fixture of everyday
life and creating the facilities to help accelerate adoption and
implementation all around the world will be crucial when it comes
to addressing concerns around long-term carbon emissions.”
To deliver the project successfully, Arcadis has factored
critical sensitivities such as humidity control and dust mitigation
into the factory’s design. The team has also identified plans for
installing future solar panels and for sourcing recyclable
furniture, to reduce the plant’s overall carbon footprint.
Pablo Moleira, project manager for Wallbox,
said: “Arcadis has worked alongside our team from the
earliest stages of this project, and together we have been able to
bring this project to life on an accelerated schedule for maximum
impact. North America needs electric vehicle chargers, and we are
thrilled to be able to help accelerate the transition by making EV
charging easier and more accessible.”
