BP PULSE, BP’s electric vehicle charging brand, has acquired the freehold of one of the largest truck stops in Europe, Ashford International Truckstop in Kent, as part of its drive to create a Europe-wide network of electric truck (EV) charging infrastructure.
Located off Junction 10 and 10a of the M20, the truckstop is close to Dover and LeShuttle Freight via the Eurotunnel terminal in Folkestone.
Approximately 3.5 million HGVs travel across the channel via the port of Dover and Eurotunnel each year. The acquisition presents BP with the opportunity to help meet the needs of UK and European HGV operators transitioning to electric trucks.
