Equans has completed the sale of its electric vehicle charging concessions business in the Netherlands as part of its broader strategic restructuring plan aimed at sharpening focus on core energy and digital services.
The company announced that the transaction, involves the sale of Equans Infra & Mobility (I&M), the entity managing its EV charging concessions operations in the Netherlands. The buyer is an investment entity controlled by DigitalBridge and Aberdeen Investments.
According to Equans, the new owners plan to continue investing in the business to accelerate growth amid rising demand for EV charging infrastructure across Europe.
The divestment aligns with the strategy unveiled during Equans’ 2023 Capital Markets Day, where the company announced plans to dispose of asset-based activities while strengthening its position in higher-value energy transition services.
Despite the sale, Equans confirmed it will retain its expertise in EV charging infrastructure and continue offering installation and maintenance services for business-to-business clients.
The Netherlands remains a significant market for Equans, where the company generated more than €1.4 billion in revenue in 2025. The firm said it will now intensify efforts to support industries, municipalities, and urban infrastructure projects in achieving decarbonization goals through energy efficiency, digital solutions, and technical services.
A subsidiary of Bouygues, Equans operates in 20 countries with approximately 83,000 employees and reported €18.7 billion in revenue in 2025. The company specializes in energy, industrial, and digital transition services, including HVAC systems, electrical infrastructure, facility management, robotics, and ICT solutions.
The transaction reflects broader consolidation and investment activity in Europe’s rapidly expanding EV charging market, as infrastructure operators seek large-scale funding to support the shift toward electric mobility and ultra-fast charging networks.
Industry analysts note that infrastructure-focused investment firms are increasingly targeting EV charging assets as governments tighten emissions regulations and accelerate transportation electrification across the continent.
