Event Summary

FSEW, a Welsh logistics company, has launched United Kingdom — Wales' first dedicated HGV electric charging hub at the Old Ely Transport Yard on Lamby Way Industrial Estate in United Kingdom — Cardiff. The 2.5-acre eFreight Hub features eight 480kW double-gun DC chargers, designed, financed, and installed by EV fleet specialist Zenobe Energy, capable of delivering 190 miles of range in one hour. The hub will primarily power FSEW's own electric fleet, including Volvo FM and Mercedes-Benz Group eActros 600 trucks, and will also be available to approved third-party operators. The project is supported by a grant from the UK Government's Depot Charging Scheme. FSEW plans to recruit up to 50 new drivers and expand its electric fleet to 70 vehicles by 2027. The hub is part of FSEW's GreenFlow service, which enables clients to achieve net-zero shipping across road, rail, air, and sea. Siderise has already used GreenFlow to export containers from United Kingdom — Wales to United Arab Emirates — Dubai with a zero-carbon footprint.
