Bartrums Haulage Expands Electric Fleet with Voltempo Charging Solution

Bartrums Haulage has implemented a high-power charging solution through Voltempo, enhancing its electric heavy goods vehicle (eHGV) fleet capabilities. The installation at their Eye depot includes a 400kW Rolec UltraCharge 400 unit with dual CCS2 connectors and two dedicated charging bays, supported by the UK Government's Depot Charging Scheme.

This site is strategically positioned next to a high-capacity substation from a 2022 development, minimizing costs. By summer 2026, Bartrums plans to operate three electric tractor units, including two Mercedes-Benz eActros 600 models, increasing their operational capacity and sustainability efforts. The project was managed entirely by Voltempo, ensuring effective design and funding application processes, which may set a precedent for similar future projects in the industry.
