Beam Global, (Nasdaq: BEEM), a leading provider of innovative and sustainable infrastructure solutions for the electrification of transportation and energy security, announced today that its EV ARC™, BeamBike™, BeamWell™ and BeamPatrol™ products have fulfilled the requirements to receive the CE mark (Conformité Européenne), a mandatory symbol indicating that a product meets European Union (EU) health, safety and environmental protection requirements, allowing it to be freely traded within the European Economic Area (EEA).
The CE mark allows manufacturers to sell their products throughout the EEA without needing to adapt them to different national regulations, fostering a single market for goods. It signifies that a product is safe and legal to sell in the EEA, including the EU, Iceland, Liechtenstein and Norway. Many products require the CE mark before they can be legally sold in the EEA. The CE mark enhances a manufacturer's reputation and builds consumer trust in the quality and safety of their products.
“Conforming with the CE mark requirements is a major validation of the safety and quality of our products,” said Desmond Wheatley, Beam Global’s CEO. “We believe that the CE mark will assist in streamlining our selling process and broaden the market appeal for our rapidly deployed, off-grid electrification-of-transportation product portfolio. It is important for Beam Global to meet European compliance requirements as we focus on growing in this, the largest single market for our products. Having the CE mark demonstrates our commitment to do just that.”
Greater Europe is the largest automotive market in the world with over 400 million automobiles. The EU has mandated that all new cars and vans sold in Europe must be zero-emission starting in 2035 with an ambitious target to reduce net greenhouse gas emissions by at least 55% by 2030, as a crucial step towards achieving climate neutrality by 2050. Beam Global expanded operations into Europe in Q4 of 2023 and views its renewably-energized portfolio of EV charging and energy security products as ideal solutions for Europe’s electrification mandates.
