These three truck makers are teaming up to build EV truck charging infrastructure in Europe, just as they begin rolling out long-distance electric semis.
EV truck charging infrastructure is about to get a major boost, just as electric semis begin rolling off the line in Europe.Three truck makers including Volvo Trucks, Volkswagen's Traton Group, and Daimler Truck form joint venture to build EV truck charging infrastructure in Europe.
Electric truck manufacturers are starting to introduce models capable of long-distance routes of hundreds of miles on a single charge. The joint venture plans hundreds of EV charging points along major highways in Europe, as well as near industrial hubs. Volvo Trucks, Volkswagen's Traton Group, and Mercedes-Benz's Daimler Truck unit have formed a joint venture aimed at truck charging, just as the three companies have introduced heavy electric trucks. The final step in forming the venture was completed just days ago, with Anja van Niersen appointed as CEO.
The newly created joint venture plans to build and operate at least 1700 charge points close to major highways and logistics hubs in Europe, creating the necessary infrastructure for a transition to the use of heavy-duty semi trucks along major routes in Europe.
