OMV provides public EV charging in several European markets, including Austria, Hungary, Slovakia and Romania.
The company recently deployed a SICHARGE FLEX charging system from Siemens eMobility at its charging station in Kufstein, Austria. OMV is a pilot customer of the new system, which Siemens unveiled in October 2025.
SICHARGE FLEX is a distributed charging system designed for depots and public charging. With a power output ranging from 480 kW to 1.68 MW, the system is suitable for charging both passenger EVs and heavy-duty electric vehicles.
The Kufstein location was chosen due to its strategic importance on the busy Brenner Route, a major transportation corridor between Germany and Italy. The Kufstein station is specifically tailored to the needs of truck drivers. It offers amenities such as showers, restaurants and washing machines.
The new SICHARGE FLEX system in Kufstein currently offers four charge points for passenger cars and two charge points for trucks, each with a capacity of up to 400 kW. In the next phase, four additional MCS charge points for trucks will be added, with power outputs ranging from 600 kW to 1,200 kW. A dynamic power distribution system allocates available charging power among the connected vehicles as needed.
“The electrification of freight transport is a key pillar of a sustainable transportation system,” said Markus Mildner, CEO of Siemens eMobility. “SICHARGE FLEX is a scalable solution that can be precisely configured for a variety of use cases, from logistics depots to public charging facilities for cars and trucks.”
“Heavy-duty electric vehicles require powerful charging options along major transportation routes. Kufstein’s location on the Brenner corridor makes it an ideal site,” said Peter Vysny, VP of International Operations & eMobility at OMV.
