A new public charging hub in Immingham will provide charging for battery-powered heavy goods vehicles.
The new charging hub is run by Milence, a joint venture between Daimler Truck, Volkswagen subsidiary Traton Group and Volvo. The Immingham hub on the A180 hasdirect access to the M180, M18, and M1 motorways, is designed to serve transport and logistics operations connecting the UK with Europe.
Phase one of the Immingham hub has four chargers, providing access to eight charging bays and offering a power output of up to 400kW. The site includes areas to allow truck drivers to take required rest breaks with restrooms and vending machines.
Milence aims to have at least 1,700 high-performance charging points across Europe and the UK by 2027. Further developments at the Immingham site will see the installation of MSC chargers during phase two of the project.
Anja van Niersen, CEO of Milence, said: “The opening of our first UK charge hub in Immingham marks a significant step in the UK’s transition to electric road transport. This strategically located site underscores our commitment to providing reliable and accessible charging infrastructure for the growing number of electric truck operators.”
