Trucks are a critical part of our national supply chain, but infrastructure to help them decarbonise is severely lacking.
The push towards lower emission fleets is only being driven faster by factors such as rising fuel costs and customer sentiment. In the absence of the right charging infrastructure, electric trucks can’t reach their potential to deliver cleaner and cheaper operations. That’s why Aegis Energy is building hubs across the UK especially for them.
Let’s get started.
The challenges of electric truck charging
Electric trucks face many challenges in the UK. And without those challenges being addressed, electric truck fleets cannot reach their full potential. Challenges we see include:
Infrastructure
Many electric fleets cannot rely on depot charging alone. Not only because grid capacity on site may be lacking, but because it hinders how far that vehicle can travel.
Operations
Charging has to fit around routes, duty cycles, shift patterns and driver breaks. The cost of downtime can matter more than the cost of power itself.
Pressure to decarbonise
Fleets are under growing pressure from customers, procurement requirements and net zero commitments to reduce emissions without disrupting service.
Uncertainty
Operators are navigating changing vehicle availability, evolving policy, and unanswered questions about what charging mix will work best for them.
Bay size
Electric trucks cannot always fit within bays designed for cars — meaning more time is spent finding appropriate charging spots that are in service.
Our hubs are built especially to address these challenges, and especially for the comfort and convenience of your routes and your truck drivers.
Reliability underpins everything, and our solutions are tailored around the needs of your fleet.
Why commercial fleet operators choose our hubs

Fleet operators running electric trucks require:
Charging speeds that fit fleet operations
Capable of working within driver breaks, turnaround and shift windows.
Reliable uptime
Our hubs maintain high output across all bays, even at peak times, keeping your drivers on the road.
Transparent billing and fleet reporting
So charging data and costs fit into how you already manage fleets and accounts.
Locations that work for real routes
Infrastructure needs to be where fleets actually operate, not just where chargers happen to be available.
Our hubs are designed with scale in mind. For example, our hub in Sheffield has the capacity to serve 30+ HGVs and 70 vans simultaneously, beyond what a depot-level installation typically supports.

We can help you find the right electric truck charging solution to put you back in control.
Speak to our teamWhy commercial fleet operators choose our hubs
High-power charging up to 400kW
With provisions for MCS (Megawatt Charging System) when released. Designed around your operational windows, not repurposed car-charging infrastructure.
Driver welfare
Clean showers and toilets, good food, calm rest spaces, and complimentary Wi-Fi, so drivers can genuinely rest while vehicles charge.
Right-sized bays
Up to 18.5m for trucks. Our sites are tested to ensure even the largest commercial vehicles can recharge with ease.
Multi-energy capability
Electric charging, HVO and bio-CNG, for all stages of decarbonisation.
Bookable slots
No queues. No uncertainty. Vehicles charged on schedule, every time.
A growing UK-wide network
Five hubs: Sheffield, Dartford, Warrington, Immingham, and Corby are already under development, with plans to build 50 hubs across the UK.
24/7 secure access
Whenever you’re charging, our round-the-clock monitoring is designed with security in mind.
Strategically located
Our hubs sit at major motorway junctions, inside logistics parks and at key ports and intermodal terminals, located for convenience of driver routes.
Become an Aegis Trailblazer
Before our first hub opens in Sheffield in Spring 2027, we are inviting a limited number of fleets to become Aegis Trailblazers.
Aegis Trailblazers will not only get discounts on all of our hubs — even the ones not open yet — but they will get a voice in how the hubs are built, and much more.
Our full offering
Electric charging for trucks is only the start. Our hubs also serve electric vans and alternative, sustainable fuels.
