Hitachi Energy to supply the UAE’s first charging infrastructure for electric truck fleets
UAE - Fast - charging grid would help the country progress towards its goal of net-zero emissions by 2050
According to Hitachi Energy, a global technology leader that is advancing a sustainable energy future for all, the company has won an order from Admiral Global DMCC, a Dubai regional headquartered e-mobility and energy solutions provider for industries, to supply the first charging infrastructure for electric truck fleets in the United Arab Emirates (UAE).
The scalable, grid-to-plug fast-charging solution would make it possible for fleets of commercial trucks in the middle-mile category to recharge simultaneously in a single location. The charging infrastructure, which is expected to be in operation by the end of 2023, would be used by multiple fleet operators that lease electric trucks from the Mohamed Hareb Al Otaiba Group, one of UAE's leading entities in transport and mobility solutions. Before this, only standalone chargers, which charge one or two vehicles at a time, was available in UAE.
"We are delighted to help the UAE take a further step on its journey towards a sustainable transportation future by providing the region's first charging infrastructure for electric truck fleets," said Niklas Persson, Managing Director of Hitachi Energy's Grid Integration business. "Our pathbreaking Grid-eMotion Fleet infrastructure will enable fleet operators to switch from diesel to long-range, low-carbon electric trucks."
