Both Heliox and PRE are active in the e-mobility market designing, producing and implementing charging infrastructure. Heliox focuses mainly on systems & services, especially in the public transport and commercial vehicle sectors; PRE focuses mainly on modules such as DC (Ultra) Fast Charging and Vehicle to Grid technology, including the passenger car sector. Their complementary portfolios make them well-positioned for accelerated growth.
In addition, Heliox and PRE both have successful divisions originating from power conversion technology. This historical similarity also displays itself in a cultural fit and mutual business approach.

In PRE we have found a partner who will help achieve our growth ambitions: they have the same technological DNA as Heliox, they develop excellent solutions and they share our passion for a sustainable future.”
PRE’s CEO Menno Kardolus agrees: “Together with Heliox we are able to serve our customers even better. Their global presence, service network and their OEM charging solutions perfectly complement PRE’s module technology.”
