Schneider Electric and Parkeon announced today the signature of an agreement for the development of an electric vehicle charging system, integrating energy management and pay by space technology.

This agreement will allow the partners to create a commercial and technical offer for pilots on electric vehicles and related charging infrastructures, in Europe and North America, starting in 2010.

In public infrastructure, the issues of parking management and charging for electrical vehicles are directly connected. The solutions are initially aimed at on-street and off-street parking and other similar applications. Schneider Electric will bring its expertise as a global specialist in energy management and Parkeon, its skills as the world leader in urban mobility, transit, parking and payment solutions.

The projects managed within this partnership will enable both organisations to develop solutions and be ready to start installing on street and parking infrastructure for electric vehicle charging in 2011.
