The first megawatt-scale eHGV charging hub has now opened in the UK, with a new site in the East Midlands helping to charge up Kuehne+Nagel’s growing electric truck fleet.
The new site has been opened as part of the eFREIGHT 2030 consortium, a group of eHGV manufacturers, fleet operators, and eHGV charging providers who are helping to drive adoption in the sector forward.
Initially, the new charging hub will support 12 electric trucks within Kuehne+Nagel’s fleet, ensuring they can be charged in record time.
