Bosch Road Services has opened a new secure HGV parking site in Leicestershire which includes dedicated high-power charging for electric trucks.
Developed in partnership with Keoma Energy, the 22,500-square-metre Electroway site is located in Magna Park, near Lutterworth.
Keoma Energy chose Bosch Road Services to provide the physical infrastructure that the site’s digital booking and payment platform connects to.
Its Bosch Secure Truck Parking system includes access control hardware, software integrations, security technology, and the booking platform.
Bosch Secure Truck Parking provides drivers with access to more than 30,000 secure truck parking spaces at 600 parking areas in 12 European countries.
The platform enables operators and drivers to search for and reserve parking spaces digitally, via a web portal, a mobile app, or through direct integration into existing fleet and transport management systems (TMS).
Parking can be planned as part of the dispatch and available parking spaces can be selected based on location, departure time, route duration and the driver’s remaining driving time.
There are more than 50 UK sites on the platform, but Electroway is the first that incorporates both parking and EV charging.
Dr Jan-Philipp Weers, head of Bosch Road Services, said, “At its core, Bosch Road Services is a digital booking and payment platform committed to making truck parking and charging easy to manage across Europe.
“Electroway is a flagship project for us. It’s our first secure truck parking location in the United Kingdom and we hope to grow here in the future.
“We’re taking on the role of technical operator of the site, which means we’re directly providing the access control hardware, the security technology, and the software interaction.”
