VEMO, a Mexican firm dedicated to promoting sustainable mobility in Mexico and its surrounding areas, has a strategic collaboration with Siemens, which is providing its technology for the electrification of the country’s highways.
This alliance is aimed at carrying out electrification through fast charging on six of the main highway routes in the country, involving the installation of six charging stations with a capacity of 160 kW each, strategically located on the most important routes in the central region of the country.
This project will enable electric vehicle drivers to travel on these crucial routes without the worry of running out of power, as they will have access to optimal charging and rest points for journeys covering distances of 300 to 600 km.

Siemens’ strategic alliance
Ernst & Young noted that currently, electric vehicles make up 13% of global car sales, as highlighted by Horacio Ramos, director of electromobility for Siemens in Mexico, Central America, and the Caribbean.
Additionally, it is projected that by the year 2030, this proportion will reach 55%, clearly indicating a significant trend toward the mass adoption of electric vehicles worldwide.
“This global trend is also present in Mexico, where today there are just over 40,000 vehicles with electrified technologies on the roads, which need a robust and interconnected charging infrastructure to allow for greater mobility. This alliance with VEMO allows us to drive the trend of electromobility in the country, advancing sustainability and the decarbonization of transportation,” said Ramos.
However, there is a projected need to implement approximately 40,000 additional stations by 2041, given the anticipated growth of around 700,000 electric vehicles in circulation by that time.
