Ministry of Transport plans truck rapid charging network with 350 locations
Federal Minister of Transport Dr. Volker Wissing wants to make Germany a "pioneer of forward-looking charging infrastructure policy." The plan is to establish a nationwide fast-charging network for trucks at around 130 unattended rest areas. Additionally, there will be approximately 220 at managed rest areas, creating a fast-charging network with a total of 350 locations along the highways. During an online event about the tendering process, the minister expressed his confidence in making a historic impact:
"With our tender, we are initially creating new charging opportunities for trucks at around 130 locations at unmanaged rest areas nationwide. Together with the planned locations at managed rest areas, we will cover with 350 locations approximately two-thirds of the expected charging demand for heavy-duty traffic on our highways. The remaining third will then be developed privately."
Several companies have already announced plans to invest in the truck charging network on private premises. Wissing stated that the tender for five lots, each with around 25 locations on unattended rest areas, will begin in September.
"As of today, potential bidders as well as companies as future users will have the opportunity to comment on the presented tender details. Because it is only together that we will succeed in realizing the necessary infrastructure for climate-friendly logistics and delivery traffic."
The selection of specific locations for the truck fast-charging network was carried out in six steps by the National Coordination Office for Charging Infrastructure:
- Determining the charging demand in long-distance transport (journeys longer than 300 km) for the year 2030.
- Localizing the charging demand on sections of the federal highways based on traffic and toll data.
- Selecting suitable highway rest areas.
- Aggregating the charging demand per federal highway section to selected locations.
- Dimensioning the charging stations based on parking activities and parking duration.
- Determining the number of charging points per rest area, taking into account space constraints and setting conversion rates from parking spaces to charging points.
The Tender
The contract award is divided into lots, with the planning, construction, and operation of the charging infrastructure each being tendered together for one lot. The contract term is expected to be eight years. An extension option of the federal government for an additional four years is included.
The approximately 130 unmanaged rest areas will be divided into five lots to achieve an even distribution. Each lot includes about 25 locations. This division enables competition and at the same time the utilization of synergies in the construction and operation of the charging infrastructure.
The Autobahn GmbH des Bundes, as the owner of the areas, is responsible for the tendering and awarding process. It will provide the necessary areas at highway rest areas and order the necessary grid connections from the local distribution network operators. The funding for the construction of these grid connections is provided by the Federal Ministry for Digital and Transport (BMDV).
