Milence, the joint venture shared by Volvo, Daimler Truck and Traton, aims to deploy at least 1,700 hi-speed charging points by 2027 along the main European freight corridors. The very first hubs are being opened, but there's still a lot of work to do. And no time to lose.

The electric truck, provided by Columbus-based company Cummins, will drive over the test bed as part of a pilot program tentatively planned to start next year. The hope is to electrify a section of an Indiana interstate in the next four to five years.

Varberg is located between Gothenburg and Malmö in the south-west of Sweden. The city itself is a popular stop off point for haulers and heavy-duty vehicle drivers, and the charging hub holds a strategic position near exit 55 along the E6 motorway. Milence's project will have two different phases.

The innovative AXON Side 360 DLBS intelligent power unit, to be combined with up to six SAT400 satellite units in order to create multi-station charging hubs.

The first version of Megawatt Charging Solution comes with a peak power of 1500A, 1.2 MW and a Kempower Mega Satellite ensuring maximum compatibility in the form of either high-power CCS plug or MCS plug. Kempower’s MCS is now open for orders in Europe.

Greenlane is a joint venture between Daimler Truck North America LLC, NextEra Energy Resources, LLC, and BlackRock. The new charging corridor along Interstate 15 aims to accelerate the rollout of carbon-neutral freight transportation with initial charging locations in Colton, Barstow and Baker, Cali...
