DKV Expands eTruck Charging Network in Cooperation with Milence

DKV Mobility, the leading European B2B platform for on-the-road payment solutions, is expanding its charging network for eTrucks with high-performance EV charging points of up to 400 kW charging power. The truck charging network is provided by Milence, a Dutch charging point operator based in Amsterdam, specializing in truck-compatible charging solutions.

Milence and DKV Mobility’s subsidiary GreenFlux, which manages the entire range of charging services for electric vehicles from DKV Mobility, recently signed a corresponding cooperation agreement. The first truck-compatible charging station has been connected in Venlo. In the first half of 2024, Milence aims to put additional charging points into operation in other European countries. By 2027, Milence is determined to build and operate 1,700 public high-capacity EV charging points across Europe, including megawatt charging systems. The newly added charging points are accessible via the DKV Card +Charge.

“On the way to more climate-friendly mobility, charging solutions for the transport sector are a central lever and an indispensable part of the energy mix of the future. We are pleased that through the partnership with Milence, we are setting the course for the establishment of truck-compatible supply solutions for e-mobility,” says Sven Mehringer, Managing Director Energy & Vehicle Services at DKV Mobility.

Seamless Charging Network for Trucks Across Europe

Roel Vissers, Chief Commercial Officer at Milence, adds: “DKV Mobility is an important player in the industry with a very strong customer base across Europe. We are excited to enable DKV Mobility customers access to our charging points and to provide truck drivers with a seamless charging experience across Europe as we continuously expand our network. At our locations, they will find some of the most powerful CCS chargers currently available* with a power of up to 400 kW. And we plan a rapid transition to megawatt charging system (MCS) technology as soon as it becomes available, paving the way for charging speeds of up to 1,000 kW and more. This means that long-distance trucks with battery packs of 600 kWh and a range of about 500 kilometers can be fully charged via MCS in just 30-45 minutes in the future.”

With around 564,000 public and semi-public EV charging points across Europe, DKV Mobility provides access to one of the largest European charging networks for electric vehicles.

* CCS stands for Combined Charging System and is a standard connector for fast charging.
