Kempower’s high-speed charging systems to boost Finnish beverages manufacturer Hartwall’s e-truck

Kempower’s charging technology and Virta’s seamless plug-and-pay software were chosen by Finnish beverages manufacturer Hartwall to provide energy to power electric trucks in its logistics operations in Finland.

As a matter of fact, Hartwall selected Kempower’s Satellite charging system for its Brewery in Lahti, Finland. “The decision was influenced by Kempower’s advanced technology and the compact size of the charging satellites, which are crucial for installation at loading docks. This careful selection process underscores Hartwall’s commitment to finding the best solutions to support the company’s sustainability goals”, stated Kempower in a press release.
