The charging station at Van Moer’s location along Keetberglaan will consist of two components:

• Public access: Six 400 kW fast chargers are available to the public.
• Private use: Thirty 50 kW slow chargers will be reserved for night-time charging of Van Moer’s own trucks and terminal vehicles.

Energy for the chargers will be sourced from Van Moer’s on-site solar panels, battery technology and green power contracts. The company also plans to expand its solar panel capacity by 3.5 MWp in the near future.

To realize this project, Van Moer Logistics has partnered with Belgian energy company Bnewable, which specializes in energy storage and optimization for commercial and industrial customers. Bnewable will provide the battery technology and its intelligent control system, which will optimize energy flows and potentially generate additional revenue for Van Moer Logistics.

This project is in line with Van Moer Logistics’ sustainability strategy, which aims to reduce CO2 emissions in transport by 45% by 2030. The company plans to achieve this through a combination of intermodal transport, electrification and the use of transition technologies such as HVO and dual-fuel hydrogen.

The project is partly supported by the Agency for Mobility and Public Works (Clean Power for Transport).
