This groundbreaking initiative aims to deploy ultra-fast battery swapping technology, enabling electric trucks to replace depleted batteries in minutes rather than hours, drastically reducing downtime and accelerating the shift to clean freight. The first UK battery swapping hubs are expected to launch by 2027, with plans to expand to over 30 mega hubs across Europe by 2035.
