Automakers are under pressure from governments
Siemens said on Nov. 6 it won a contract to provide information technology and service support to London’s planned electric-vehicle charging network through November 2013.
The company’s electric vehicle-related businesses include supplying batteries and other components, charging infrastructure, as well as grid-management expertise, Cheng said.
Automakers are under pressure from governments, environmental groups and consumers to sell models that consume less gasoline and emit fewer gases linked to global warming. China’s government aims to
former subsidize at least 4 million of these cars by 2012.
