Published on: Dec 13, 2023
Strategically located for international trade, the facility is equipped with four charging bays to welcome electric trucks of all brands.
Milence, the joint venture between Daimler Truck, the TRATON GROUP and Volvo Group, opens phase one of its first charging hub at Truck Parking Venlo and starts operations in the Netherlands.
The hub consists of four charging bays. The second phase, scheduled to be operational in the first quarter of 2024, will include additional four charging bays and the completion of the site design.
At the core of Milence’s mission is the commitment to a fossil-free future for road transport. To achieve this, Milence is developing its network with a focus on creating green corridors for road transport that connect key logistics hubs. The opening of the Venlo charging hub signifies the initial step in realizing this vision.
“The opening in Venlo marks an important moment in our journey to accelerate the transition to sustainable transport. With this first charging hub and our future roadmap, a reliable charging network open to all vehicles is now taking shape,” said Anja van Niersen, CEO at Milence.
Venlo is strategically located for international trade, making it an ideal location for the roll-out of Europe’s first large-scale public charging network by Milence. Truck Parking Venlo is now one of the first secure truck parks in the Netherlands with a dedicated charging solution for electric trucks.
