ENGIE Vianeo selected by the German Federal Government and Autobahn GmbH to deploy a megawatt charging network along major logistics corridors

A strategic network at the heart of European transport

The electrification of road transport in Germany is accelerating at an unprecedented pace. More than 4,000 electric trucks were registered in the country in 2025. At the same time, Germany remains one of Europe’s main logistics hubs, with nearly one in two trucks travelling on the continent passing to or through Germany. Against this backdrop, the German Federal Government and Autobahn GmbH have entrusted ENGIE Vianeo, the ENGIE Group brand dedicated to electric mobility, with the South-East lot of the national programme to deploy charging infrastructure for trucks, making ENGIE Vianeo a key player in heavy-duty freight transport in Germany and across Europe.

The brand will be responsible for the design, construction and operation of 173 charging points across 26 charging stations along Germany’s main motorway routes. This strategic contract strengthens ENGIE Vianeo’s position among the leading public charging infrastructure operators for hauliers in Europe, particularly in the heavy-duty transport segment, and confirms its technological leadership in megawatt charging, a key innovation for the electrification of long-distance road freight.

“Germany is the logistics heart of Europe. Decarbonizing freight transport in this country has an impact across the entire continent. At ENGIE Vianeo, we are proud that this award by the Federal Government and Autobahn GmbH will enable us to build one of Germany’s most powerful heavy-duty charging networks and provide logistics operators with the infrastructure they need to transition to zero-emission fleets,” says Jan-Niklas Ellerich, Managing Director of ENGIE Vianeo Germany.

The largest megawatt charging network in the programme

The South-East lot comprises a total of 173 charging points, including 105 MCS (Megawatt Charging System) chargers, representing the largest number of megawatt charging points in the entire German federal programme. With power output of up to 1,000 kW, these infrastructures are designed to meet the needs of long-distance electric truck fleets: extended range, high vehicle availability and reduced charging times.

ENGIE Vianeo will deploy these 26 stations along three strategic corridors of the Trans-European Transport Network (TEN-T):

• Rhine-Danube;
• Scandinavian-Mediterranean;
• North Sea-Rhine-Mediterranean.

These infrastructures will therefore make a significant contribution to densifying the European charging network dedicated to freight transport.
 

“The electrification of road transport is one of the most powerful levers for decarbonization in Europe. Securing this contract as part of Germany’s federal programme for heavy-duty charging marks a major milestone for ENGIE Vianeo in building a high-performance European charging network. This project illustrates our ability to sustainably transform freight transport through innovative, high-performance infrastructure deployed along Europe’s main logistics corridors,” says Nicolas Cournu, CEO Europe of ENGIE Vianeo.

A new step in ENGIE Vianeo’s European ambition

ENGIE Vianeo has been present on the German market since July 2025, offering high-performance, reliable and transparent charging solutions that actively contribute to the energy transition in mobility. Since entering the market, the brand has leveraged the experience gained through several successful projects in France and Belgium, including the first fast-charging corridor for electric heavy-duty trucks between Lyon and Paris.

By 2030, ENGIE Vianeo aims to become one of Europe’s five largest public charging infrastructure operators, with 25,000 charging points, including 1,000 dedicated to heavy-duty transport.

The company already operates a network of more than 11,000 charging points in Europe, including 890 on French motorways and more than 7,000 in Belgium.

In Germany, ENGIE Vianeo is currently developing several major projects, including the deployment of the first heavy-duty charging hub with the Port of Kiel. The first of the two truck charging sites will be commissioned in September 2026 and will establish itself as a model for sustainable port charging infrastructure in Europe.
