DFDS, the Danish ferry and logistics group, is operating electric trucks on Benelux routes — its vehicles documented charging at Milence’s Ketenis hub in the Port of Antwerp-Bruges, as shown in the hub’s official imagery. A cross-border operator using public truck charging in routine service is exactly what shared infrastructure is for.

DFDS’s deployment is instructive twice over. First, the operator profile: a group whose freight flows cross borders and modes (ferry plus road) — the long-haul-adjacent duty where public corridor charging, not depot charging, is the enabling layer. Second, the infrastructure behaviour it proves: fleets don’t need their own mega-depots to electrify international routes — brand-agnostic public hubs at 400 kW (and MCS at Antwerp) substitute for depot coverage on the corridor legs.

For fleets modelling mixed depot-plus-public strategies (our TCO calculator’s public-charge share input exists precisely for this), DFDS’s visible usage of the Milence network is the qualitative confirmation that the model operates in practice. Watch for the group’s order announcements as its fleet electrification formalises.
