Radisson Hotel Group and SunFuel Electric Inaugurates First EV Charger at Radisson Blu Plaza Delhi Airport

Radisson Hotel Group (RHG) has been a pioneer in taking action to reverse climate change and has always showcased a commitment to the environment.

The Group is building on its long heritage of sustainability through its commitment to setting science-based emission reduction targets and aims to achieve a net zero carbon future by 2050. Keeping up with this commitment, this World EV Day, Radisson Hotel Group celebrates the inauguration of its Electric Vehicle (EV) chargers in partnership with SunFuel at the Radisson Blu Plaza Delhi International Airport.

This is an extension of the Group's partnership with SunFuel to EV-enable its portfolio of 100+ hotels across South Asia.

Inge Huijbrechts, Global Senior Vice President Sustainability, Security, and Corporate Communications for Radisson Hotel Group said "As one of the leading hospitality companies we have a vision to facilitate responsible tourism and travel. We do this with our own sustainability strategy and commitment to Net Zero, and by offering sustainable value propositions to our guests such as this brand-new network of EV chargers. We are proud to be playing a leadership role to establish a framework to grow sustainable travel, give back to nature and build a climate-conscious community of travelers."

Nitin Kapur, Managing Director, Radisson Blu Plaza Delhi Airport said, "We are thrilled to be the first hotel to install the electric vehicle charger at Radisson Blu Plaza Delhi Airport and to unveil the same on this memorable day of World EV Day. Along with numerous other continuing efforts to minimize carbon emissions at our level, the RHG-SunFuel association is one little step we have taken in the direction of sustainability that will help make the world a cleaner, greener, and healthier place".

Sudhir Nayak, Co-founder of SunFuel Electric mentioned that the design of the chargers has been developed with the help of the Indian Institute of Technology Delhi (Department of Design) and the technology inside the chargers is powered by Siemens. He also mentioned that every Radisson hotel in India will be equipped with one charger each, to begin with. However, as EV adoption increases, four EV chargers will eventually be installed in each hotel to ensure adequate availability. Elaborating on the SunFuel and Siemens partnership, he said, "Siemens is the technology partner for the EV chargers being deployed by Sunfuel Electric at Radisson Hotels. SunFuel - Siemens partnership would support Radisson guests in a smooth transition towards EV adoption by providing reliable and scalable charging infrastructure."
