The B2B Marketplace will allow energy providers, car manufacturers, and charging point owners to share and integrate services on one common IT platform that will create a network of EV charging services that are regionally compatible across Europe.
Funded by the European Union to establish an infrastructure for electric vehicles by 2015, the initiative is a part of the European Recovery Plan to reduce C02 emissions by 60% by 2050.
Green eMotion project coordinator Dr. Heike Barlag remarked that the marketplace will lead the way for electromobility mass market and will also open access to charging points across the nations.
The project is based on the IBM software and IBM SmartCloud Enterprise and creates a scalable open-standards environment that enables manufacturers and service providers to link their various services according to consumer and industry requirements.
IBMGlobal distributed energy resource leader Clay Luthy added "Our goal is to help add a new layer of intelligence to the electric vehicle market and a new level of convenience to the driver through the Green eMotion project.
"We believe the demonstration project will foster innovation and further transformation across a larger geographical footprint."
Green eMotion partners such as Enel, SAP and Siemens have developed the required EV services for the project.
