Milence, the joint venture between Daimler Truck, the TRATON GROUP and Volvo Group, is committed to a fossil-free future for road transport.
To achieve this, the company is rolling out the first large-scale public electric charging network across Europe for heavy duty vehicles (HDVs) and buses.
Recently, Milence announces its second charging hub in Sweden, located in Ödeshög.
The new hub is situated on a 10,000 square meters plot, a prime location 260 kilometres from Stockholm and 350 kilometres from Malmö along the heavily trafficked E4 motorway.
Anja van Niersen, CEO of Milence, states: “Sweden is in a driving seat in electric road transport, and with the new Ödeshög hub, Milence is proud to be a pioneer in connecting the nation’s key cities with sustainable energy solutions.”
“This hub not only enhances our network but also solidifies the green corridor between Stockholm and Malmö, marking a significant step in our commitment to electrifying Sweden’s major transport routes,” she adds.
The station is next to a number of important facilities and a new logistics center is under construction nearby, enhancing its strategic importance.
The development of the Ödeshög charging hub will proceed in two phases.
Phase 1 will launch with eight charging bays equipped with high-performance Combined Charging System (CCS) chargers, each capable of delivering up to 400 kilowatts of power.
Phase 2 will expand the facility to 16 charging bays and is planned to incorporate Megawatt Charging System (MCS) technology for faster and more reliable charging solutions.
Also, the Ödeshög location will offer numerous amenities designed to improve the rest and recharge experience for drivers.
These facilities will include a lounge, showers, and toilets, aiming to provide an optimal customer experience.
