Milence opened its first loading hub in Denmark on Wednesday. With the new location on the border with Germany, it strengthens the Northern corridor of electric freight transport.

As a joint venture of Daimler Truck, Traton Group and Volvo Group, Milence focuses on the electrification of freight transport in Europe. It does this by installing loading docks along the logistics corridors that lead trucks across the continent. With the new hub in Padborg, Denmark, the Scandinavian-Mediterranean TEN-T corridor now also has a loading point.

The hub thus provides a stopping point for electric trucks travelling long distances between Scandinavia and Central Europe. Together with the already existing charging hubs along the route, Padborg reinforces the development of a contiguous network for freight flows between Scandinavia, Germany and the Benelux.

CCS loaders

In a first phase, the hub will have four CCS chargers powering four loading bays with up to 400 kW of charging capacity, as well as essential facilities for drivers. In future expansion phases, additional facilities will be added to further improve driver comfort and service offerings.

The Padborg location is Milence’s first charging hub in Denmark. “The opening of this charging hub is another important milestone in the development of a connected European charging network for electric road transport,” says Milence ceo Anja van Niersen. “Padborg is a strategic location at the intersection of important European freight corridors, making it a logical addition to our growing network.”
