With the help of the Finnish Kempower and Soltech's E-Mobility, Göteborgs Lastbilcentral (GLC) has commissioned the 15 fast-charging points facility in Gothenburg.

The SEK8.0m investment (around €710k) offers 1.0MW of capacity.

The station will help GLC, which operates a fleet of 350 vehicles, reduce its CO2 emissions by 70% by 2026 (vs 2010 levels). The Swedish transport company intends to become climate-neutral by 2035.

"It is terrific that these charging stations are operational as they will reduce CO2 emissions and make it easier for companies to switch to an electric fleet. I want to thank Kempower and E-Mobility for a smooth cooperation and welcome our co-owners, drivers and partners to our new charging hub," Martin Salenius, GLC's CEO, commented.

Tomi Ristimäki, CEO of Kempower, added, "We are delighted to see this project go live. Commissioning one of Sweden's largest private e-truck charging stations highlights the power of bringing ambitious Nordic companies together. We see the electrification of buses and trucks developing fast in the coming years and projects such as this are meaningful ways to electrify transport."

Martin Götesson, E-Mobility's CEO also said, "It feels great that we have completed this project for GLC, which is investing heavily in charging infrastructure. Working together with Kempower was outstanding, as it provides a technical solution that is both powerful and intelligent, which this type of large-scale charging station requires."
