An HGV fleet charging facility will open at Magna Park Lutterworth later this year, as part of a country-wide £500m investment.
Investment firm Guardian Smart Infrastructure Management (GSIM) said it would build, own and operate the logistics fleet electric charging hub in partnership with Keoma and the network would launch in October.
The partnership will feature high-capacity HGV chargers delivering up to 400kw per charge point and serving 179 lorry bays.
The facility will be digitally enabled with Bosch booking systems and is intended to be scalable across UK and European parks.
Robert Mah, GSIM president and managing partner, said: “This partnership exemplifies GSIM’s mission – to bring transformative smart solutions to global infrastructure.
“Our collaboration with Keoma, Marq, Bosch, and BK World delivers on our strategy of value-add through technology integration with critical infrastructure the market requires.”
Tylor Hartwell, CEO, Keoma, added: “With our partners, we are delivering on our mission to be a leading provider of BEV fleet charging and mobility solutions to support HGV operators to transition to electric power with speed, convenience and confidence – in tandem with modern amenities and safe working conditions for drivers.”
