The official go-ahead for the project to build one of the largest public charging parks for electric commercial vehicles was given in August. High-power and megawatt charging points are to be built in three planned expansion stages on the southern bus car park of the Allianz Arena. A total of 30 charging points are planned. This will allow up to 500 electric buses and lorries to be charged every day. The Allianz Arena has a very powerful power grid that is only fully utilised on match days.
It therefore offers the ideal conditions for setting up a commercial vehicle charging park. It is also located directly at the busy Munich North motorway junction with its own motorway access: Up to 10,000 trucks a day pass through this important junction for the entire European road freight transport network.
