Freeport East has pledged £50,000 to support the development of an electric truck hub at the Port of Felixstowe, aimed at decarbonising heavy goods vehicles. The proposed hub, led by Maritime Transport, could provide up to 6MW of high-speed charging for electric HGVs, heavy vehicles, and buses, serving hauliers, logistics operators, transport firms, and major infrastructure projects in the Freeport East region.
The funding will help the project advance through planning and technical development stages, with the potential for completion in 2028. This initiative aligns with Freeport East's broader Green Freight Corridor initiative, which aims to decarbonise freight transport and support skills and employment along a vital logistics route.
The Port of Felixstowe currently handles over 5,000 HGV journeys daily, with only a small fraction currently electrified.
