道達(dá)爾收購(gòu)倫敦最大的汽車充電網(wǎng)絡(luò)

據(jù)美國(guó)彭博新聞社巴黎報(bào)道，由于消費(fèi)者加速轉(zhuǎn)移對(duì)化石燃料的依賴，法國(guó)能源巨頭道達(dá)爾公司日前收購(gòu)了倫敦最大的汽車充電網(wǎng)絡(luò)，進(jìn)一步擴(kuò)大了其非石油業(yè)務(wù)。

道達(dá)爾公司在一份聲明稱，道達(dá)爾公司從博洛雷集團(tuán)手中收購(gòu)了倫敦藍(lán)點(diǎn)公司，從而獲得了Source London汽車充電網(wǎng)絡(luò)。對(duì)道達(dá)爾公司等歐洲石油巨頭來說，移動(dòng)電源是一個(gè)增長(zhǎng)領(lǐng)域。道達(dá)爾公司此前已贏得在比利時(shí)和荷蘭安裝充電點(diǎn)的合同。

由于歐洲各國(guó)政府收緊對(duì)汽車尾氣排放的規(guī)定，抑制了對(duì)汽油和柴油的需求，石油公司正在投資汽車充電點(diǎn)。雖然公用事業(yè)公司也在進(jìn)軍該行業(yè)，但石油巨頭們受益于自身龐大的規(guī)模，以及它們通過現(xiàn)有加油站控制的站點(diǎn)數(shù)量。

道達(dá)爾公司在聲明中稱，Source London汽車充電網(wǎng)絡(luò)包括1600多個(gè)街頭充電點(diǎn)，占倫敦總充電點(diǎn)數(shù)的一半以上。道達(dá)爾公司表示，倫敦最大汽車充電網(wǎng)絡(luò)將使用可再生能源供電。

道達(dá)爾公司預(yù)計(jì)，這筆交易將在今年年底前完成。道達(dá)爾公司沒有披露這筆交易的成本。

Total Buys London's Largest Car-Charging Network

French energy giant Total SE snapped up London’s largest car-charging network, further expanding its non-oil business as consumers accelerate the shift away from fossil fuels.

Total acquired Blue Point London from Bollore Group, giving it the Source London charging network, according to a statement Tuesday. Electric mobility is a growth area for European oil majors including Total, which has previously won contracts to install charge points in Belgium and the Netherlands.

Oil companies are investing in vehicle charging as Europe’s governments tighten rules on car emissions, curbing demand for gasoline and diesel. While utilities are also making forays into the industry, the oil majors benefit from their sheer size and the number of sites they control through existing filling stations.

Source London includes more than 1,600 on-street charge points, representing more than half the total operating in the city, Total said in the statement. The company will power the network with electricity from renewable sources, it said.

Total expects the transaction to close by the end of the year. It didn’t disclose the cost.
