Milence adds megawatt charging system to its own hub in Landvetter, Sweden
Milence hosted the first public demonstration of MCS charging, with a fully electric Volvo truck and using the latest protocol showcasing the future of zero-emission long-haul transport. The solution installed at the Milence sites is developed by Power Electronics and is already in operation at the hubs in Zwolle (Netherlands) and the Port of Antwerp-Bruges (Belgium).
Milence announced the expansion of its Landvetter charging hub near Gothenburg, Sweden. The upgraded site has introduced Megawatt Charging System (MCS) technology and doubled its CCS (Combined Charging System) capacity. According to the international joint venture, this is an important step towards completing Europe’s first high-power electric corridor for trucks and enabling long-haul electric transport.
Indeed, Milence hosted the first public demonstration of MCS charging, with a fully electric Volvo truck and using the latest protocol showcasing the future of zero-emission long-haul transport. As explained by Milence, the MCS is the latest industry standard for high-power DC charging, developed to support the high demanding requirements of battery electric trucks. With a charging capacity of up to 1,440 kW (1,500 A, 1,000 V), it is purpose-built for electric heavy-duty vehicles, offering a more robust connection and advanced communication platform.
Megawatt charging corridor for Milence
The solution installed at the Milence sites is developed by Power Electronics and is already in operation at the hubs in Zwolle (Netherlands) and the Port of Antwerp-Bruges (Belgium). With the addition of Landvetter to the list of active MCS-enabled locations, Milence is close to completing Europe’s first MCS corridor, thus connecting Antwerp to Stockholm.
“Public charging infrastructure is the key enabler for long-haul electric transport, and its success depends on high-power charging solutions deployed where demand is emerging fastest. That’s why Milence follows a corridor-first strategy, rolling out the fastest available technology along Europe’s most critical freight routes. With four operational hubs now live in Sweden, we already cover key corridors linking Stockholm, Gothenburg, and Malmö. The expansion of our Landvetter hub with Megawatt Charging brings us one step closer to establishing Europe’s first MCS-enabled corridor”, stated Anja van Niersen, CEO of Milence.
