Shell, one of the world’s largest energy providers, buys NewMotion in a deal that will enable both companies to accelerate the transition to low-carbon transport. IMPROVED acted as the exclusive financial advisor to NewMotion’s shareholders in this transaction.
Under the terms of the deal, NewMotion will remain focused on accelerating its mission in Europe by delivering more innovative smart-charging solutions to homes, businesses and public parking spaces. The acquisition will help NewMotion enhance its electric vehicle (EV) charging services turning more parking spaces into charging stations as well as improving users’ charging experience across Europe.
Based in Amsterdam, NewMotion was launched in 2009 by a group of entrepreneurs on a mission to contribute to a cleaner world. Today, NewMotion operates more than 30,000 electric charge posts in the Netherlands, Germany, France and the UK. It also provides access to a network of more than 50,000 public charge points across 25 European countries, serving more than 100,000 registered charge cards.
