HITACHI ENERGY TAKES LEAD IN UAE’S E-TRUCK CHARGE

Fleet

Hitachi Energy has won an order from Admiral Global DMCC, a Dubai regional headquartered e-mobility and energy solutions provider, to supply the first charging infrastructure for e-truck fleets in the UAE. The scalable, grid-to-plug fast-charging makes 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, will be used by multiple fleet operators that lease electric trucks from the Mohamed Hareb Al Otaiba Group. 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 longrange, low-carbon electric trucks.”

Grid-eMotion Fleet offers a unique range of benefits for fleet operators of trucks or buses. This gridcode compliant and space-saving grid- to-plug solution provides fast charging to maximize the use of each vehicle. It can be installed in new and existing logistics centers and scaled flexibly as the fleet gets bigger and greener.

Grid-eMotion Fleet offers a seamless charging infrastructure that includes a robust and compact grid connection and multiple charging points, making it a well-suited solution for heavy-duty trucks requiring high-power charging.

“As we look forward to COP28 in Dubai, we remain committed to supporting the global community in its efforts to combat climate change and achieve a net-zero future. We are committed to positively impacting today’s generations and those to come,” said Dr. Mostafa AlGuezeri, Managing Director of Hitachi Energy for the UAE, Gulf, Near East, and Pakistan.
