Charging infrastructure firm Fleete has secured planning consent for a 26-bay eHGV hub at Hams Hall distribution park in Coleshill.
The site sits within the country’s ‘golden triangle of logistics’ and is home to a high concentration of warehousing and distribution facilities.
Fleete said the facility would provide convenient and cost-effective access to charging infrastructure and enable 26 lorries to charge simultaneously on ultra-rapid chargers.
Selected chargers will include megawatt charging system capability for future ultra high-power charging.
While demand for zero emission vehicles continues to grow, limited charging infrastructure and the complexity of securing grid connections remain barriers to commercial fleet electrification.
Chris Morrison, CEO of Fleete Group, said: “Securing planning consent for our charging hub at Hams Hall reflects our intent to support the infrastructure required for largescale fleet electrification at a nationally significant logistics centre.
“Hams Hall represents a strategically important opportunity within our growing network of shared charging sites.”
The planning consent follows the development of Fleete’s first 16-bay site at the Port of Tilbury.
