Clifford Chance advised its long-standing client Waterland and its portfolio company Heliox (www.heliox-energy.com) on its partnership with Macquarie’s Green Investment Group ("GIG") to start delivering electric bus and truck (eBus and eTruck) charging infrastructure across Europe. The partnership is one of the first to offer the innovative ‘charging-as-a-service’ model in Europe.

The partnership will own and fund the construction of charging infrastructure and maintain the facilities on behalf of customers. Initial target markets focus on high growth EV markets including the Netherlands, Belgium, Germany and the UK. The partnership will provide fully financed, turnkey charging solutions for the lifecycle of the projects in return for fixed regular payments. For more information, click here.
