Major contract: HEIDELBERG/Amperfied takes over operational management of Siemens Energy's charging infrastructure in Germany
Amperfied GmbH, a subsidiary of Heidelberger Druckmaschinen AG (HEIDELBERG), has been awarded another major account for electric vehicle fleets. With a full-service approach, Siemens Energy AG was acquired as a major new customer. The order covers the migration, consolidation, and operation of around 200 AC charge points at 12 German locations to Amperfied's cloud backend. Implementation will start immediately, while the partnership is designed to be long-term and to include further expansion of charge points by Amperfied.
Comprehensive solution for efficient charging infrastructure management
“With Amperfied, we are consolidating our charging infrastructure on a powerful platform and creating the basis for our internal charging infrastructure requirements,” says a spokesperson for Siemens Energy's Real Estate division. “In addition to the technical basis, it was crucial for us that Amperfied already offers comprehensive options for pricing and billing – and thus addresses exactly the use cases that may be relevant for us in the future.”
“We are delighted that we have convinced another major customer, Siemens Energy, of the benefits of our offering. This order confirms our expertise in the field of charging management and operation and underlines our ability to implement complex large-scale projects efficiently and reliably,” says Jürgen Otto, CEO of HEIDELBERG. “Above all, our holistic approach as a system integrator with hardware, software, and services in operation and billing was convincing. We see significant growth potential in further charging infrastructure projects with major customers.”
Challenge: Rapid implementation in a heterogeneous hardware landscape
Operating the charging infrastructure at Siemens Energy is challenging: hardware from different manufacturers is used at various locations. To create a uniform and future-proof solution, Amperfied migrated the charge points to its own cloud-based backend in less than four weeks. To do this, the existing system landscape was analyzed, different hardware components were harmonized and technically integrated into a central platform—in time before the previous operator discontinued management of the charge points on a set date.
After the migration, Amperfied takes over the central service and management of the charge points, including monitoring, reporting, and technical support. Siemens Energy benefits from a uniform, future-proof platform with comprehensive pricing and billing options, for example, for private charging, company vehicles, or guests. At the same time, the platform lays the foundation for further expansion and additional use cases such as ad-hoc charging and roaming.
“Charging infrastructure is not a product that you buy once; it has to function reliably throughout its entire lifespan,” explains Robin Karpp, Managing Director of Amperfied GmbH. “This requires more than just hardware: it’s about the interplay of technology, software, and service. Our aim is to manage this complexity for our customers so that they can fully focus on their core business.”
Order from a leading energy technology company
Siemens Energy AG is a global leader in energy technology and was formed in 2020 through the spin-off of the former Gas and Power Division from Siemens AG. The publicly traded company, headquartered in Munich, employs around 102,000 people worldwide, including approximately 26,000 in Germany, and generated revenue of EUR 34.5 billion in 2024.
Amperfied as a provider of customized e-mobility solutions
With the contract from Siemens Energy, Amperfied is further expanding its position as a provider of modular, scalable, and hardware-independent charging infrastructure solutions for corporate fleets. In March 2025, Amperfied announced the takeover of the operational management of more than 1,700 charge points from SAP SE, which have been undergoing further expansion since then.
Originally started as a pure hardware manufacturer, the company's range of services now includes a cloud-based backend with an integrated billing solution, the integration of existing charge points from third-party manufacturers, maintenance services, and a rental model for charging infrastructure. In the future, Amperfied will expand its portfolio to include a modular DC fast-charging solution with a comprehensive range of services and an operating hours model geared toward maximum availability, setting new standards in high-power charging infrastructure.
