We’re backing e-mobility
German city centres are now unimaginable without e-mobility – and so is Deutsche Wohnen. We factor in the low-emission mobility when developing new neighbourhoods and use it to help employees at our headquarters and facility management subsidiary get around.
On the move with e-mobility
The employees at FACILITA Berlin GmbH manage more than 110,000 of Deutsche Wohnen’s residential units in Berlin and handle other services such as classic caretaker duties. This means they need to be mobile – or more precisely, ‘e-mobile’.
The Deutsche Wohnen subsidiary’s sustainable fleet now includes 32 electric cars, 17 e-bikes and 75 bicycles. The last car with a combustion engine was sold in 2019, which means FACILITA’s fleet is now completely electric. But that’s not all, as the vehicles still need to be charged. That’s why a total of 38 charging stations have been installed at 19 FACILITA locations in Berlin and Potsdam. Electric cars emit at least 16% less greenhouse gas than cars with combustion engines. This allows FACILITA Berlin GmbH to make a sustainable contribution to protecting the environment.
At Deutsche Wohnen’s headquarters, our employees can use a charging station for their own electric cars and can make use of one of the company’s e-Golfs on business trips. We are also planning to switch our entire fleet of service vehicles to alternative drives by 2024.
Services for our customers
We also want to create demand-driven electrical infrastructure in our neighbourhoods. We are working with our partner GETEC to install over 2,000 charge points across Germany. Plans for the first joint charging infrastructure projects are already under way.
