UK electric heavy goods vehicle (eHGV) charging firm Voltempo is set to unveil its new chargepoint this summer.
The product, which forms part of its HyperCharger Megawatt Charging System (MCS) technology, will be showcased at RTX in Warwickshire.
It will showcase one of the 6 chargepoints being installed with each HyperCharger system under the eFreight2030 programme, giving visitors the opportunity to experience its ergonomics and design simplicity first hand – with both CCS and MCS connectors displayed.
As the project lead in the eFREIGHT 2030 consortium – part of the UK government’s £200m Zero Emission HGV and Infrastructure Demonstrator Programme (ZEHID) – Voltempo is implementing one of the largest deployment of eHGV HyperCharger sites for UK logistics fleet operators.
Michael Boxwell, CEO of Voltempo, said:
“We’re excited to make our debut at RTX 2025 and showcase our HyperCharger chargepoint for the first time to the wider road transport sector. With HGVs representing just 1% of vehicles on UK roads but accounting for 20% of transport emissions, the electrification of commercial fleets is crucial to meeting our climate goals.
“Our future-proofed HyperCharger technology offers an incredibly versatile approach to managing EV fleet charging, whether that’s rapid charging to maximise vehicle utilisation or overnight charging to benefit from lower electricity prices or even both at the same time.
“The eFREIGHT 2030 project represents a significant step toward decarbonising the UK’s logistics sector.
“By the end of the trial in 2031, our aim is to have rolled out 3,000-4,000 electric HGVs onto UK roads, established over 500 HGV charging hubs, and delivered annual reductions of 140,000 tonnes of CO2 and 57 million litres of diesel. I’m looking forward to sharing our progress and insights at RTX.”
