Here’s why Milence and logistics company Kuehne+Nagel cooperate in the UK

Kuehne+Nagel, a global logistics company, and Milence, a company building Europe’s largest public charging network for trucks, come together to demonstrate the viability of electric road freight. Kuehne+Nagel’s new electric heavy goods vehicles seamlessly integrate into operations as they collect loads from the Able Humber Port (AHP) thanks to Milence’s first UK charging hub located in Immingham. With high-performance 400 kW CCS chargers, charging currently takes around 1 to 2,5 hours for a full charge, and a Megawatt charger will be added in the near future.

Milence and Kuehne+Nagel sharing the same philosophy

Kuehne+Nagel and Milence also advance their shared ambition to accelerate fleet electrification by exchanging operational information to, for example, determine strategic locations for charging hubs. Kate Broome, Sustainability and Social Impact Director at Kuehne+Nagel UK, declared: “Alongside supportive measures to scale depot charging – such as faster access to grid connections and enabling policy measures – we also need high-performance, reliable and cost-effective public charging hubs. We’re proud to be among the early adopters using Milence’s hub, proving that electric heavy trucks are not just the future – they’re already here.”

“At Milence, we collaborate closely with key stakeholders across the transport sector. Partnerships with pioneers like Kuehne+Nagel are essential to shaping the infrastructure and services the industry needs. Our hubs are designed as safe, comfortable charging stops that support both drivers and fleets on their electric journeys. The transition won’t happen overnight – but by working together, we’re moving closer to a road transport system that is not only sustainable but also economically viable”, added Roel Vissers, CCO at Milence.
