Paua has integrated Fleete’s new electric HGV charging hub at the Port of Tilbury into its network, allowing fleet operators access to the truck charging site.
The Tilbury site is built specifically for HGVs and sits at a key logistics gateway serving London and the South East with 16 dedicated HGV charging bays, with up to 360kW charging speeds, a 5MW grid connection and 24/7 access for fleets.
It has been developed specifically around the operational needs of commercial vehicles, including larger bays, high-power charging and freight-focused access.
Truck and van drivers using Paua can now turn up, charge, and pay using a single solution, without needing separate accounts or cards.
The company said that aggregated access is becoming increasingly important for freight operators, reducing administrative complexity and removing the need for drivers to manage multiple apps, cards and payment systems while on the road.
It aims to strengthens Paua’s position as one of the UK’s largest aggregated truck charging network, “giving fleets broader coverage across public hubs, multi-use sites, and shared depots”, it said.
As more electric trucks enter operation over the coming years, industry collaboration between charging operators, software platforms and fleets is “expected to play a critical role in accelerating adoption”, it added.
Hams Hall Distribution Park and Fleete’s nine other development sites will also become available to Paua customers once these sites become operational.
Niall Riddell, CEO and Co-founder of Paua, said:
“Truck charging needs to work in the real world. That means the right locations, enough space, and chargers that deliver when drivers need them. Tilbury is a strong step forward, and by adding it to Paua, we’re making it usable for fleets today.”
Chris Morrison, CEO of Fleete, said:
“Partnering with PAUA is a critical part of our strategy to open up our growing national charging hub network to the largest possible user base. Fleete is positioning itself as the UK’s leading partner for destination and origin shared charging hubs that will give fleet operators the confidence they need to expand the routes on which they can use their electric trucks.”
