Shell launches charging network to accelerate heavy electric transport: ‘Streamlining processes’

Het laadplein voor zwaar transport bij Green Planet in Pesse maakt onderdeel uit van het geïntegreerde netwerk van Shell.

Shell has launched an integrated charging network to accelerate the use of heavy electric transport in Europe. The network could reduce the total cost of ownership (TCO) of electric trucks by up to a quarter, according to the oil and gas giant.

The so-called Shell Integrated Charging Network (ICN) is specifically designed for commercial electric vehicles, especially heavy truck fleets, e-trucks. By bringing together Shell Recharge sites, roaming partners, semi-public charging points and private charging points with controlled access into one network, Shell aims to help companies with heavy truck fleets to make electric driving easier. At the same time, it allows companies to reduce their costs. SBRS, part of the Shell Group, is responsible for supplying the depot-related components of the shared network, including the charging hardware, software integration and energy system support.

Connect

“For heavy transport, the challenge often lies in managing cost, complexity and operational efficiency at different loading locations,” explains Conrad Mummert, head of SBRS. “Fragmented networks, varying energy tariffs and underutilised resources can affect performance and profitability. By connecting the separate elements together, in one optimised network, transport companies can streamline their processes.”

Energy savings

Shell’s integrated charging network not only leads to lower costs for electric trucks, according to the company, it also saves energy for owners of electric charging plazas. Moreover, companies that do not have their own electric charging facilities can still electrify their fleets by using the charging stations available through the Shell ICN.
The recently opened new Shell charging plaza for heavy transport in Amsterdam-Westpoort is part of the integrated network, as are the charging plazas in Eindhoven-Acht, Pesse and in Hamburg.
