A new electric truck charging hub at Magna Park in Lutterworth, to support the electrification of freight transport in the UK, is due to open later this year.
Guardian Smart Infrastructure Management will build, own, and operate the facility in partnership with Keoma Hubs, and operations are set to begin in September 2026.
Phase 1 of the project will see 32 MCS ready chargers, delivering up to 400kw per charge point, serving 179 HGV bays with pull-in bay design suitable for articulated vehicles.
In addition, the site will be TAPA 2-certified, meeting detailed standards regarding physical security, staff training and access control.
The facility will also be digitally enabled with Bosch Road Services booking systems providing seamless operations and access control, combined with automated hospitality services from BK World.
Magna Park, managed by Marq Logistics, has more than 13 million square feet of floor space across 50 buildings, occupied by a range of companies with advanced sustainability credentials.
Robert Mah, President & Managing Partner, Guardian Smart Infrastructure Management, said, “This partnership exemplifies GSIM’s mission – to bring transformative smart solutions to global infrastructure.
“Our collaboration with Keoma, Marq, Bosch, and BK World delivers on our strategy of value-add through technology integration with critical infrastructure that the market requires.”
Tylor Hartwell, CEO, Keoma, said, “With our partners, we are delivering on our mission to be a leading provider of battery electric vehicle (BEV) fleet charging and mobility solutions to support HGV operators to transition to electric power with speed, convenience and confidence – in tandem with modern amenities and safe working conditions.”
