Electroway opens a major electric truck charging facility in the UK

EV infrastructure provider Electroway has launched an electric truck charging facility at Marq Logistics Magna Park Lutterworth, the first phase of the company’s plan to develop a 30-site network of dedicated electric heavy goods vehicle (HGV) charging hubs in the UK.

Electroway is an EV infrastructure platform established by infrastructure investor GSIM and Keoma Energy. Bosch Road Services provides technical operations and maintenance support.

Marq Logistics Magna Park is a logistics hub in the Midlands’ logistics Golden Triangle, bounded by the M1, M6 and M69 motorways. The development includes more than 50 warehouses. The charging site features 32 charging points, each with up to 400 kW of power, as well as 180 secure HGV parking bays and dedicated driver facilities.

Bosch Road Services’ digital platform allows operators and drivers to reserve parking spaces and charging points. Bosch also supplied the site’s access control and security systems, including automatic number plate recognition, CCTV and remote monitoring. The facility was designed to meet TAPA Parking Security Requirements Level 2 standards.

“Electroway is about removing one of the biggest practical barriers to electrifying road freight,” said Tylor Hartwell, CEO of Keoma Energy. “Operators need to know that when a truck arrives, a charger will be available, it will deliver the power promised and the economics will work. Lutterworth demonstrates that this infrastructure can be delivered commercially and at scale.”
