Commissioned at the beginning of 2026, the charging hub is designed to support both quick opportunity charging during daily operations and overnight charging when vehicles are idle. The site consists of four Kempower Liquid-Cooled Satellites delivering up to 400 kW each, powered by an 800 kW central Kempower Power Unit, enabling ultra-fast charging when vehicles are loading or unloading. Menaklars currently operates four MAN eTGX electric trucks, with other additional units arriving in the next months, deployed initially on short routes to rail hubs and ports.
Kempower and Menaklars to cooperate in Italy: the project and statements
Three months after operations going live, the charging station has already delivered more than 19 MWh of energy across more than 116 charging sessions and more than 90 hours of charging time.
“Menaklars needed to maintain its exceptional service standards and schedules for its premium clients, so charging reliability was crucial. The charging performance since installation confirms that high-power depot charging can fully support intensive logistics cycles while minimizing downtime and preserving route flexibility,” said Mattia De Lorenzo, Sales Project Manager at Kempower Italy.
“The transition to more sustainable transport is one of the biggest challenges our industry faces. At Menaklars, we believe it is also an opportunity to lead by example. We are determined to contribute proactively to Europe’s climate goals and to play a tangible role in shaping the future of heavy-duty logistics,” said Lorenzo Menabue, CEO of Menaklars.
