Milence to open charging hub in Immingham, UK

Milence has begun development of new charging hub for electric trucks located in Immingham, UK. It is the very first project started by the joint venture in the United Kingdom. About the hub, its construction has commenced and is underway, with the hub scheduled to be operational with the completion of the first phase in November 2024.

Located on the east coast of England, the city of Immingham has got robust internal connections facilitated by excellent road and rail links, including direct access to major motorways such as the M180, M18, and M1, ensuring efficient cargo distribution across the UK. The port’s proximity enables less than 24-hour connectivity to a European market of 170 million people, regularly servicing Northern Europe, Scandinavia, and the Baltic regions.

Milence in Immingham UK: a multiple stage process

Similarly to other projects shared by Milence, the development of the charging hub in Immingham will be carried out in multiple phases. In the first one, the hub will initially be equipped with four high-performance Combined Charging Systems (CCS) chargers powering eight bays. A variety of amenities, such as sanitary facilities and vending machines for drinks and snacks will also be included. Later on, the final phase will include additional CCS and MCS chargers as well as more sanitary facilities, vending machines and a lounge area.

“Expanding into the UK with our first charging hub in Immingham represents a significant milestone for Milence. This strategic location not only enhances our ability to support the growing demand for sustainable transport solutions but also aligns with our commitment to driving the future of green logistics across Europe”, commented Anja van Niersen, Milence CEO.
