Tritium wins Shell global EV charging tender

An Australian manufacturing export success has emerged with the announcement by Queensland-based Tritium Holdings (Tritium), developer and manufacturer of DC fast chargers for electric vehicles, that it has executed a global framework agreement with Shell, the world’s largest mobility retailer with over 46,000 retail sites, to provide fast charging technology and services.

The agreement is expected to help accelerate the supply of Tritium DC fast chargers to their business operations in Europe, South Africa, Asia, the Middle East and North America, in pursuit of Shell’s ambition to operate 500,000 charge points by 2025 and 2,500,000 by 2030.

“This is a great opportunity for Tritium. We have been selling EV charging infrastructure to Shell since 2020 and we’re thrilled to have been selected as a partner to Shell in this latest tender,” said Tritium CEO Jane Hunter. “It’s a vote of confidence in Tritium’s products and services, and we look forward to supporting Shell in their endeavours to reduce emissions and enable the rapid electrification of transportation.

“Tritium technology has been designed to provide fast, rugged and reliable charging in any environment, and we look forward to working with Shell and its affiliates to deploy DC fast charging infrastructure all over the world.”

Founded in 2001, Tritium designs and manufactures proprietary hardware and software to create DC fast chargers for electric vehicles. Tritium says its compact and robust chargers are designed to look great on the street and thrive in harsh conditions, through technology engineered to be easy to install, own and use.
