“Alongside supportive measures to scale depot charging – such as faster access to grid connections and enabling policy measures – we also need high-performance, reliable and cost-effective public charging hubs. We’re proud to be among the early adopters using Milene's hub, proving that electric heavy trucks are not just the future – they’re already here.”

Kate Broome Sustainability and Social Impact Director of Kuehne+Nagel, in Immingham

“The “E-Truck Deployment” project by SCHADE Logistic GmbH thrives through collaboration with Milence. It wasn’t just about promises but how e-mobility for heavy-duty trucks is actually put into practice. We benefit from charging at Vockerode and Hermsdorfer Kreuz, and from infrastructure for both vehicles and drivers. Together, we have we’ve entered new territory and are thankful for the professional collaboration.“

Bjoern Schade Managing Director of SCHADE Logistik, in Germany

“The Milence Hubs are very innovative, have a lot of space and are really thought for the drivers making them feel welcome which is very important for us as a transport company.”

Mark van der Drift CEO of Cornelissen, in Zwolle

Driving efficiency: unlocking TCO advantage with early eHDV adoption

Switching to electric heavy-duty vehicles (eHDVs) is not just about sustainability. Economics play a central role, and a question remains central for every fleet operator: When does going electric make financial sense?  Our new lifecycle Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) analysis reveals that the answer is sooner than many expect. While annual cost comparisons can make diesel look cheaper in the short term, looking at the entire lifecycle tells a different story: early adoption of eHDV leads to long-term savings and secures a stronger competitive edge.  To illustrate how the methodology works in practice, we analysed two distinct cases: regional distribution in the Netherlands and long-haul transport in Germany.
