Schouten Energy and Koninklijke Saan will open a charging plaza for electric trucks in Diemen on Thursday. According to the initiators, the charging plaza near junction Muiden is strategically located, easily accessible and mainly focuses on being able to charge electric trucks, cranes and other large transport equipment.

The charging square is an initiative of Schouten Energy from Alphen aan den Rijn and Koninklijke Saan and is located at the head office of the transport company on the Overdiemerweg (S114) in Diemen. The charging plaza has four 350-kW DC fast charging points and is suitable for electric trucks, cranes and other large equipment. The power is ‘green’ and comes from over two thousand solar panels on the roof of the Saan branch. Schouten Energy will operate the charging station.

New step

With the charging plaza, Schouten Energy and Saan say they are taking a new step in making transport and logistics in the region more sustainable. “Now we can sustainably charge our electric trucks and cranes directly at our own premises. Of course, we will open the charging plaza to other companies,” says Koninklijke Saan’s general director Rutger Alferink. Leen Schouten, director of Schouten Energy, calls the charging plaza “the next logical step”. “Besides being a supplier of fossil and renewable fuels, we now also become a partner in sustainable energy solutions.”

Opening

Saan once operated a petrol station on the old A1 through Diemen and now the company is realising a charging station for the first time. Since 2001, Schouten has been Koninklijke Saan’s regular energy supplier. First it was for traditional diesel, but nowadays mainly for renewable fuels such as HVO diesel.
The charging station for electric trucks will be officially opened by Mayor Erik Boog of Diemen on Thursday 16 October.
