Megawatt charging network: Consortium of R:loaded, eLoaded, and Strabag applies
R:loaded, eLoaded, and Strabag have joined together under the name Stra-loaded as a bidding consortium to bid for one of the five advertised lots for the development of a fast-charging network for electric trucks along the highways. Each lot includes approximately 25 locations at unattended rest areas.
„Stra-loaded“: Consortium relies on proven technology
According to a press release, the three companies now want to combine their expertise in planning, construction, and operation of charging infrastructure. With a combination of experience and proven technology, they see themselves well-positioned:
- eLoaded refers to the Zusmarshausen charging park, where megawatt charging has been tested under real-world conditions for over a year.
- R:loaded contributes its expertise as an operator of fast-charging stations.
- Strabag takes on the construction competence to implement the charging infrastructure on schedule.
"Our solution already works under real conditions, which gives us a great advantage," explains Oliver Nee, Managing Director of R:loaded.
Why the Traffic Transition in Heavy-Duty Transport is Important Now
Heavy-duty transport is a crucial factor for CO2 reduction. With the new toll fees for high-emission vehicles, the pressure on companies to switch to electric drives is increasing.
“Our experience in building charging infrastructure and the successful collaboration with eLoaded and R:loaded make us the ideal partner for this project,” adds Felix Renner from Strabag.
The Autobahn GmbH, therefore, launched a tender at the IAA Transportation in September, which envisages the construction of a nationwide fast-charging network for electric trucks by 2030. The aim is to equip approximately 350 rest areas along the motorways with a total of 4,200 charging points. The focus is on 1,800 megawatt charging points (1,000 kilowatts) and 2,400 CCS charging points (at least 400 kilowatts). This project is intended to lay the foundation for a more climate-friendly future in freight transport.
The goal is comprehensive coverage for electric trucks with a nationwide charging infrastructure, which is considered essential for the transition to electric drive systems in freight transport. The tender by Autobahn GmbH could accelerate the development and thereby significantly improve the conditions for climate-friendly logistics.
