E.ON Drive Infrastructure (EDRI), Voltix and GreenWay will start building one of Europe’s largest megawatt charging networks with €70.3 million in EU funding; The system will serve the continent’s road freight transport with a total of 330 charging points at 55 strategic locations, including Hungary, by 2028 – EDRI told MTI on Wednesday.

Chargers with a capacity of at least 1 megawatt will play a key role in the electrification of the European heavy vehicle fleet and in accelerating the long-term decarbonization of transport – the company indicated.

The announcement explained:

megawatt charging technology makes charging time, range and operating cost levels available for electric trucks that makes these vehicles a real alternative to diesel-powered vehicles.

The project is scheduled to install 330 high-performance charging points with a capacity of at least 1 megawatt in Europe’s most important transport corridors by autumn 2028. The network will cover 55 strategic locations from Germany and Austria, through Spain and France, to Sweden, Poland and Hungary. Each station will have at least four charging points and the service will be available 24 hours a day, with easy payment solutions and roaming support.

E.ON Drive Infrastructure, part of the E.ON Group, currently operates more than 8,300 public charging points in 11 European countries, including Hungary. Voltix, a VINCI Concessions company, develops public charging stations specifically designed for trucks. GreenWay operates 4,802 electric charging points at more than 1,400 locations in Poland, Slovakia and Croatia.
