With this additional financing, NGM ascertains itself at the forefront of the energy transition financing by accompanying private and public entities in their transition to zero-emission mobility.
This transaction follows not only the 2022 extension of this facility, with La Banque Postale as new co-lender, but also NGM’s successful 2021 fundraising of EUR 80 million with 3i EOPF, Mirova Eurofideme 4 and Banque des Territoires, and underlines NGM’s consistent performance and growth in EU and the United Kingdom. Besides further increasing its financing capacity, NGM is more importantly one step closer to reaching its target of EUR 400 million assets under management by 2025.

This transaction will allow NEoT Green Mobility and NEoT Capital to keep on developing and even to accelerate its deployments and reach a global footprint as a major player in the energy transition to zero-emission mobility in Europe.”
