Amsterdam, Netherlands, May 20, 2019 – Tritium, a world leader in electric vehicle (EV) DC fast charging technology, has signed a deal to provide nine Veefil-RT 50kW DC fast chargers to Nissan, to help support the leading EV automaker’s sponsorship activities ahead of and during the UEFA Champions League Final in Spain.
The nine chargers – which can add 50km of range in just 10 minutes – will make up part of the Nissan & UEFA operations hub at the IFEMA event centre during the lead-up to the final, alongside 20 AC 22kW chargers.
The deal was announced at the Tritium Stand (#E9) at the EVS32 conference in Lyon, France.
Brice Fabry, Zero Emission & Ecosystem Director, Nissan, said: “The UEFA Champions League is a fantastic showcase for Nissan electric vehicles, and this year we will be doing more than ever to electrify the final in Madrid. Tritium are able to turn around a turnkey solution for charging infrastructure quickly, so we’re very happy to welcome them to the team.”
The Veefil-RT sports the world’s smallest physical footprint for a 50kW DC fast charger and can be installed within hours.
In addition, the chargers will be adapted to suit Nissan’s specific branding requirements for the event.
“We have dedicated staff who worked closely with Nissan’s design team to develop the branding and imagery required to maximise Nissan’s visibility during the event, and each charger will sport these ‘skins’ throughout,” said David Finn, CEO, Tritium.
“Nissan has been synonymous with electric vehicles and the Nissan LEAF has pushed E-Mobility to the forefront of the public consciousness. We look forward to helping Nissan stand out during their festivities throughout the week as they continue to drive the vision of an e-mobility future.”
At least two of the chargers will remain on-site following the final, with the remaining seven to be deployed by Nissan elsewhere in Spain.

Amsterdam, The Netherlands, May 20, 2019 – Tritium, a world leader in electric vehicle (EV) DC fast charging technology, has signed a new deal with IONITY to supply its Veefil-PK 350kW DC high power electric vehicle (EV) chargers for 120 new IONITY charging sites across Europe.
The contract with IONITY is Tritium’s largest-ever deal for its flagship Veefil-PKs and will see an average of four to six chargers installed per site across 23 countries in Europe, giving IONITY the largest and fastest DC high power charging network in the world.
The deal was announced at the Tritium booth (#9) at the EVS32 Symposium in Lyon, France.
IONITY CEO Michael Hajesch explains why the decision was taken to work with Tritium: “We were looking for an excellent strategic partner able to run with us from the start and scale up our operations in Europe. Tritium obviously fits the bill”.
IONITY is based in Munich and was founded in 2017; it is a joint venture of the BMW Group, Daimler AG, Ford Motor Company and the Volkswagen Group including Audi and Porsche.
The deal ensures that Tritium is now the largest supplier to the IONITY network; of the planned 400 sites across Europe, Tritium will supply its Veefil-PKs for at least 220 sites.
“IONITY has a vision for electric vehicle charging which mirrors ours; it’s not just about the speed of the charge but the experience for customers,” said David Finn, CEO and co-founder, Tritium. “These chargers will soon be ubiquitous along the highways of Europe and ensure that the increasing number of EV owners across the continent will be able to drive whenever and wherever they want.
“The sheer number of these chargers will all but eliminate range anxiety while enabling energy freedom and announces to the world that EVs are here to stay.”
Each Tritium high-power charger (HPC) can deliver 350kW of power for fast charging of modern EVs, which can add 350 kilometres of 220 miles of range in 10 minutes of charging. All will be equipped with the Combined Charging System (CCS) used by a wide range of vehicle manufacturers.
The deal includes 24/7 remote and on-site support, with the rollout of the next wave of chargers expected to be completed by 2020.
Currently, EV drivers have to pay an 8 Euro session fee when they want to charge at an IONITY station.

Amsterdam, NL, October 16, 2019 – Tritium, a world leader in electric vehicle (EV) DC fast charging technology, has announced a series of appointments to its European team in response to increased demand for fast and high-power charging across the continent.
Manuel Fernandes has been appointed President for Tritium Europe. Fernandes has been with Tritium since 2014, when the company launched its world-leading Veefil RT 50kW DC Fast Charger. As president, his role will be to set the strategic direction of Tritium’s European operations.
“Manuel has led the establishment of Tritium within Europe since 2014 and has been working in the industry since 2010, so he has great industry insight and understands well how Tritium can best help our customers achieve success in their businesses,” said David Finn, CEO and co-founder, Tritium. “Europe has been a very strong market for Tritium, with the IONITY partnership and our large installation base throughout the Nordics and the UK. Given Manuel’s contribution to our success here, he is the natural choice to lead Tritium’s future growth across the continent.”
Tritium also announced it has appointed Iván Soto to the role of Sales Director Europe, and Chris Joor as a Procurement Officer for the EU region.
Soto brings more than a decade of experience in sales roles in Europe to his role at Tritium, where he will be responsible for managing the sales teams across the continent. He was most recently with CIRCONTROL where he held a number of roles including sales manager of eMobility.
Joor joins Tritium with nearly 20 years of experience from Yamaha, where he was a senior buyer for nearly nine years.
The announcement was made at the eMove 360 conference in Munich.
“The market is maturing across Europe and we are seeing an increase in interest in electric vehicle charging infrastructure,” said Fernandes. “This year we opened the TRITIUM E-MOBILITY INNOVATION CENTRE in Amsterdam to cater to this growth, and we will continue to add to our team to meet the market while continually innovating to stay ahead of it.
“Ivan and Chris are welcome and experienced additions to our team, and they will help us grow our sales pipeline in new markets where electric vehicles are beginning to become more commonplace.”
EUROPEAN EXPANSION CATERS TO CURRENT AND FUTURE GROWTH
Tritium continues to see exceptional growth across Europe which to date has proven to be the biggest market for the company globally. This year alone, the company has announced:
The company first opened its office in Amsterdam in March 2018 and has since developed a strong foothold in Europe with more than 50 per cent of the world-leading market in Norway and around 15 per cent of the wider global market for 50kW fast chargers. It has now provided more than 30 countries, including non-European nations, with more than 3,000 chargers.
Last year, Gilbarco Veeder-Root MADE A MINORITY INVESTMENT IN TRITIUM. The investment has since enabled Tritium to accelerate a number of strategic activities, including operational expansion in Europe and the opening of its TRITIUM E-MOBILITY INNOVATION CENTRE in Amsterdam earlier this year, which allows OEMs to test vehicles for DC fast-and high-power charger interoperability.
“Since we opened our Innovation Centre in February, more than 20 automotive manufacturers have tested their vehicles for interoperability and ease of use,” said Fernandes. “We continue to innovate in charging infrastructure and we pride ourselves on working closely with the industry, the utilities sector and automotive manufacturers to ensure customers are provided with the best in class technology and service they deserve.”
