Dartford site secured for M25 truck charging hub

9 Apr 2026

A clean energy hub close to the M25 for commercial fleets to charge up and rely on clean fuels has been secured by Aegis Energy.

Situated at the former Littlebrook power Station in Dartford and 1.4 miles from the Dartford Crossing, the hub sits at one of the country’s most critical road freight interchanges.

Dartford was chosen as a key gateway for freight travelling between London, the Midlands and continental Europe via the Port of Dover, as the only motorway-grade crossing of the River Thames east of London.

Aegis said each hub would offer bookable, high-speed electric charging alongside multi-energy alternatives, including bio-CNG and HVO and they are being designed to accommodate HGVs and vans, with space for dozens of vehicles to refuel or recharge simultaneously.

Alongside secure parking, the hub will also provide driver welfare facilities with toilets, rest areas and food services.
