MOBILIZE AND AUTOSTRADE PER L’ITALIA
FORGE A STRATEGIC ALLIANCE TO POWER SUSTAINABLE
MOBILITY IN ITALY
- Renault Group through its Mobilize brand and Autostrade
per l’Italia through its subsidiary Free To X have signed a
framework agreement to develop fast-charging infrastructure in
Italy.
- As part of the transaction, Mobilize will acquire a
significant stake in Free To X, a subsidiary of Autostrade per
l’Italia, dedicated to fast charging.
- The existing Free To X network comprises over a hundred
High-Power charging stations primarily located on highways, with an
average distance of approximately 50 km between each
station.
- The parties
intend to enhance Italy’s charging infrastructure, focusing on
premium locations beyond highways.
In a landmark move for the electric mobility sector, Mobilize, a
Renault Group brand dedicated to new mobilities, and Free To X, a
subsidiary of Autostrade per l'Italia, have announced a transaction
that aims to accelerate the deployment of a high-power charging
network across Italy.
Through this project, Mobilize is set to acquire a significant
stake in Free To X, Autostrade per l’Italia's subsidiary dedicated
to fast charging, supporting Mobilize's vision of establishing a
strong presence in the fast-charging industry.
Free To X, one of the leaders in the high-power charging (HPC)
market in Italy, operates a fast charge network comprising 110
stations, primarily located on highways. These stations deliver up
to 400 kW of power and are accessible to all e-mobility service
providers. Mobilize's investment will support the development of
new opportunities beyond the highway network.
Completion of the transaction between Mobilize and Free To X,
subsidiary of Autostrade per l’Italia, is subject to regulatory
approvals.
"Entering into a partnership with Autostrade per l’Italia is
a significant step in our mission to lead the transition towards
sustainable mobility. By collaborating with Free To X, we are not
only enhancing Italy's charging infrastructure but also aligning
with our strategic ambitions to establish a robust fast-charging
network across Europe, making electric mobility easier for
all" said Gianluca De Ficchy, CEO of
Mobilize.
"We are proud to join forces with Mobilize to provide fast
and Hyperfast charging solutions for travelers boosting the growth
