Daniel Ševčík, CEO of ChargeUp is happy about the victory:
«Winning the tender for the city of Oslo is a great success for us. Firstly, because Oslo is considered the world capital of electromobility - nowhere else are there so many electric cars and nowhere else is the density of charging infrastructure as high as in Oslo. Public transport, which includes trams, buses and boats, will be fully electrified in Oslo by the end of this year. By 2030, Oslo aims to become the world's first completely emission-free city.
Secondly, in the tender process, which ran from February to April, we were able to prevail against the largest European and global providers, with the decisive criteria being the robustness, scalability and functionality of the solution offered.»
