Located in Eindhoven, Netherlands, the hybrid truck service station is Shell’s first facility to offer logistics and transport companies all types of energy.
These include traditional and renewable diesel, bio-LNG and electric vehicle (EV) fast chargers for e-trucks. Eindhoven Acht also offers truck drivers various food options, a truck wash and more.
For transport companies aiming to become sustainable, a few "fast" options are available already, such as renewable diesel or Bio-LNG, which reduce CO2 emissions either during usage and/or in production.
With companies and governments becoming increasingly aware of their impact on the environment, it wouldn’t be ludicrous to assume this number will increase exponentially over the up-coming years.
Forward-thinking like Shell’s has been gaining traction, with Daimler Truck North America and DTE Energy planning to open a similar station in Michigan, USA.
The core infrastructure to support EV charging at the site will be established first, with DTE operating the EV charging solutions, solar canopies, and battery energy storage systems. They will also look to partner with third-party operators for value-added services.
