Charging into the future with Shell Recharge at Markham Moor
By Steve Clarke, Marketing Manager at Fleetmaxx Solutions
The transport industry is rapidly evolving, and at Fleetmaxx Solutions, we’re proud to help drive that change forward. Shell’s recent launch of their first UK charge point for electric trucks at the Markham Moor Truck Stop in Nottinghamshire is a significant milestone in this journey. This isn’t just about new infrastructure; it’s about the future of commercial road transport and our collective step towards a sustainable, electric future.
A key location for an electric future
Markham Moor, located along the crucial A1 corridor, now features a state-of-the-art 400kW charge point designed specifically for HGVs. With over 8,000 heavy goods vehicles passing through daily, this site is perfectly positioned to support logistics and transport companies.
Euan Moir, Head of UK Fleet Solutions at Shell, put it perfectly:
“The future of commercial road transport will look mostly electric… Providing a seamless charging experience for drivers is another step in helping transport companies continue to operate efficiently during the energy transition.”
More than just eHGV charging
The Markham Moor Truck Stop isn’t just about charging—it’s a full-service hub designed with drivers in mind. Key features include:
- Book and Charge: Reserve charging bays in advance, reducing downtime and ensuring availability.
- Shell Card Integration: Simplify payments with a single card for all your refuelling and charging needs.
- Driver Amenities: Enjoy a café, guarded parking, 24/7 amenities, toilets, showers, and a Little Waitrose convenience shop.
- Renewable Energy: The charger runs on 100% renewable electricity, reducing the carbon footprint of every charge.
