Radisson Hotel Group has launched its first ultra-fast Electric Charging Hub as a continuation of its commitment to support e-mobility and expand its network of 510+ electric car-charging stations across the EMEA region, in partnership with Allego, the leading pan-European provider of electric vehicle charging solutions.
Radisson Hotel Group’s strategic partnership with Allego, first announced in July 2022, has positioned Radisson Hotel Group as the hospitality choice for EV drivers and travelers with a green mobility mindset. Since the start of the partnership, Radisson Hotel Group has exponentially grown its Green Mobility network of ultra-fast and regular (AC) charging solutions for electric vehicles to over 220 Radisson Hotel Group locations and over 510 chargers across Europe. In India, the Group has partnered with Sunfuel to install EV chargers in its national portfolio of over 100 hotels.
The first ultra-fast Electric Charging Hub was unveiled today in Frankfurt, Germany as part of the Group’s new, revamped automotive value proposition to meet the evolving needs of automotive clients for their events and those of their eco-minded consumers. At the ultra-fast charging point, it takes approximately 20 minutes to charge a car, during which time, customers attend a business meeting at the hotel, or just have a snack at the hotel.
Research shows that nearly two-thirds of consumers are now sustainability-minded drivers. As a result, automakers must focus on what customers demand and integrate sustainable practices in the design and manufacturing of their vehicles, but also put sustainability at the heart of their branding and events marketing strategy. From ground-breaking auto exhibitions to thrilling car launches, from luxurious celebrations to exciting experiences, Radisson Hotel Group properties are powerful partners in sustainable automotive mobility, delivering successful events for some of the world’s largest automotive brands.
As a global leader in green mobility and sustainability, Radisson Hotel Group is driving the travel and hospitality industry forward with expanded green travel options as part of its commitment to decarbonize the business and achieve net zero by 2050. Radisson Hotel Group has a long-standing history as a sustainability pioneer and was the first hotel group to launch a global 100% Carbon Neutral meetings program, that automatically offsets the carbon footprint of every single event and meeting held at any of its hotels by supporting projects that help reverse climate change and support sustainable development in partnership with First Climate. Over the past 10 years, the Radisson Hotel Group achieved a 30% reduction in carbon emissions and has offset 30,300 tons of carbon since 2019.
Radisson Hotel Group is a pioneer in sustainability and played a leading role in the establishment of a new globally recognized set of sustainability indicators, the Hotel Sustainability Basics, in partnership with the World Travel and Tourism Council (WTTC). The Hotel Sustainability Basics is a commitment to deliver a defined set of criteria for the reduction of energy and water usage, waste reduction, and carbon emissions at all hotels globally.
