Background record: Milence’s Zwolle hub in the Netherlands became one of Europe’s first public megawatt charging sites — alongside Antwerp (2.8 MW combined) and Landvetter in Gothenburg, Sweden — giving the Benelux two of the three initial public MCS locations as megawatt-capable trucks enter series production.

Zwolle’s significance is timing: public MCS arrived there before the vehicles did at scale — the deliberate infrastructure-first posture that lets MAN’s series-production MCS trucks (July 2026), Mercedes’ prepared eActros 600s and Scania’s 750 kW option find functioning charging from their first delivery day. It answers the chicken-and-egg objection that slows every infrastructure debate: someone has to build first, and the alliance decided to be that someone on the TEN-T core.

For Dutch fleets, Zwolle completes the northern corridor triangle with Venlo (fully operational April 2026) and Hengelo (July 2026, built with zero-emission construction equipment) — three hubs covering the A1/A28/A50 axes at 400 kW and megawatt class, inside the country’s CO₂-graded toll zone. Our Netherlands case study maps the full stack.
