A new electric HGV charging facility at Magna Park Lutterworth has opened as part of Electroway, developed by Keoma Energy. The opening marks the start of plans to develop a nationwide network of charging and parking hubs, bringing together high-powered charging, secure overnight parking and driver facilities to address practical challenges facing logistics operators considering a move away from diesel-powered freight.
Located in the Midlands’ Golden Triangle, one of the UK’s key logistics and distribution areas, the facility features 32 charging points capable of delivering up to 400kW and approximately 180 secure HGV parking bays. The site is intended to provide infrastructure that supports the operational requirements of commercial fleets as electric HGV deployment grows.
A key feature of the facility is its integration of charging with existing fleet operations. Through Bosch Road Services’ digital platform, operators can reserve parking and a specific charger with guaranteed charging capacity, helping them plan vehicle movements and charging around delivery schedules. The site also includes driver amenities, recognising that the transition to electric freight depends on facilities that work for drivers as well as the vehicles they operate.
Electroway’s launch comes as charging availability remains an important consideration for businesses assessing electric HGVs. Although battery-electric trucks are increasingly being introduced into logistics networks, operators need to consider more than vehicle range when deciding which journeys can be electrified. Charging locations, available power, grid connections, charging costs and the time required to recharge all influence whether electric vehicles can be integrated into existing operations without disrupting service.
Keoma Energy plans to use the Electroway facility at Lutterworth as the starting point for a wider network of 30 electric HGV charging and secure parking sites across the UK. The proposed expansion represents an investment ambition of around £1 billion. The Lutterworth site was developed without public funding, demonstrating the potential for private investment to support the rollout of electric freight infrastructure. However, expanding the network will depend on securing suitable locations, sufficient electricity capacity and the investment needed to meet the operational requirements of freight operators across different routes.
The location of the new hub is also significant, placing high-powered charging within a major logistics corridor in the Midlands. As more manufacturers bring electric HGV models to market and businesses explore how to reduce transport emissions, strategically positioned facilities could help make electrification more practical for regional and longer-distance freight. Developing a network of sites will be particularly important for operators whose vehicles travel beyond the boundaries of a single depot, where relying solely on private charging infrastructure may not be sufficient.
The opening of the Lutterworth facility highlights how the transition to lower-emission road freight requires coordinated investment in vehicles, energy infrastructure and the wider logistics environment. While individual charging hubs can help address local requirements, the scale of the challenge will depend on how effectively infrastructure develops alongside fleet demand, electricity networks and the commercial needs of transport operators.
At Sustainable Logistics LIVE 2026, taking place on 10 November at the Royal Geographical Society in London, Shape Tomorrow will bring together industry professionals to explore the practical challenges of decarbonising logistics. With a dedicated panel on electrification and multiple BriteLabs exploring the topic throughout the day, the event will provide opportunities to discuss the infrastructure, technology and operational changes needed to make electric freight work at scale.
