Nissan has opened a major electric truck charging station in Sunderland, UK, investing £1.4 million ($1.9 million) into the project. The site supports up to 60 daily truck trips and powers 10 electric heavy goods vehicles (eHGVs) at once. It’s the first of its kind in the UK, designed to cut 1,500 tonnes of CO2 each year.

This charging hub will help deliver car parts from Derby to Sunderland and ship finished vehicles to the Port of Tyne. It can handle trucks traveling more than 2.4 million kilometers per year. Nissan plans to share the site with other logistics firms to help more companies go electric.

The project is part of Electric Freightway, a £100 million UK government-backed plan to cut emissions in freight transport by 2040. Backed by Gridserve, Yusen, BCA, and Fergusons, the initiative will build 10 more depots and install 200 fast chargers. “Depot charging is key,” said Gridserve CEO Daniel Kunkel. “This is a big step in greener transport.” Nissan’s Michael Simpson added: “We’re proud of this work and open to more partnerships.”
