The discussions with Audi are expected to expand on this initiative as part of the brand\u2019s ambitious infrastructure investment plans across the UAE.\r\n\r\n\u201cThe UAE is committed to achieving net-zero emissions by 2050 and is on track to being the leader in the Middle East and North Africa in reaching this target,\u201d said Sharif Salim Al Olama, Under-Secretary of the Ministry of Energy and Industry. \u201cElectric vehicles are integral to this effort, and providing fast, efficient and convenient EV charging infrastructure with partners like Siemens and Audi is a crucial step in the energy transition.\u201d\r\n\r\nSince 2020, Audi has been the largest manufacturer of electric vehicles among Germany\u2019s three premium brands. The launch of e-tron GT continues Audi\u2019s transformation into becoming a key provider of sustainable premium mobility.\r\n\r\nBy 2026, more than 20 all-electric Audi models will be introduced and the brand is investing in several initiatives focusing on the development of a high-performance charging infrastructure in order to contribute to EV readiness in the region.\r\n\r\n\u201cAudi Middle East is delighted to begin this partnership with the Ministry of Energy and Infrastructure and Siemens which further underlines our commitment to electrification in the UAE as we continue to redefine the mobility of the future\u201d said Carsten Bender, Managing Director of Audi Middle East.\r\n\r\n\u201cWe have been very vocal about our commitment to electrification in the region and look forward through this collaboration to develop solutions which will support EV customers in the UAE based around the latest technologies and charging solutions such as the Audi Charge Hub concept\u201d\r\n\r\n\u201cTo not only be aligned with the UAE\u2019s \u201cNet Zero 2050\u201d initiative but now an active participant in it is an honor and a privilege we are very proud of.\u201d\r\n\r\nOn June 8, 2022, the Ministry of Energy and Infrastructure said it would deploy ten Siemens Sicharge D 160 kW ultra-fast chargers on the highways in Ras Al Khaimah, Ajman, Umm Al Quwain and Fujairah. All are cloud-connected devices which allow operators to monitor and manage the chargers remotely.\r\n\r\n\u201cWe look forward to working with the Ministry and Audi on this important project that demonstrates our commitment to supporting sustainability programs in the United Arab Emirates,\u201d said Helmut von Struve, the Chief Executive Officer of Siemens in the Middle East. \u201cSiemens is proud to be a part of the country\u2019s embrace of an electrical mobility ecosystem, and to contribute to the UAE Net Zero by 2050 strategic initiative.\u201d[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]"},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>MoEI, Siemens and Audi to cooperate on initiatives that promote the switch to electric vehicles and sustainable mobility.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[207,205,208,44,206,209],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/news.audimiddleeast.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2225"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/news.audimiddleeast.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/news.audimiddleeast.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news.audimiddleeast.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news.audimiddleeast.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2225"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/news.audimiddleeast.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2225\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2318,"href":"https:\/\/news.audimiddleeast.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2225\/revisions\/2318"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/news.audimiddleeast.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2225"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news.audimiddleeast.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2225"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news.audimiddleeast.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2225"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
