The new charging hub is located in a newly built logistics centre in one of Sweden’s largest and most innovative logistics regions, Helsingborg. The hub is close to the E4 motorway, the main logistics route to Stockholm.

The strategic location of the charging hub not only improves accessibility for logistics operations but also underlines the region’s commitment to sustainable transport as a key node on the busy Malmö-Gothenburg route.

The development of the Åstorp charging hub will proceed in two phases. Phase 1 will launch with four charging bays equipped with high-performance Combined Charging System (CCS) chargers, each capable of delivering up to 400 kW of power. Phase 2 will expand to 11 charging bays. Besides the CCS chargers, Milence plans to install Megawatt Charging System (MCS) chargers at the hub in Åstorp as soon as the technology becomes available for faster and even more reliable charging.

The Åstorp hub will also offer various amenities such as a lounge, showers and toilets to enhance the customer experience.

"Strategically located in the Helsingborg logistics region, close to the E4 motorway, this new hub reinforces our commitment to establishing high-performance green corridors across Europe," said Anja van Niersen, CEO at Milence. "We have ambitious plans to further expand our network to several key locations to ensure that all electric trucks have a reliable and accessible public network where they can charge.”
