Bart Bosmans, Director Marketing & Sales and a member of the Board of Management at DAF Trucks, said: “An optimal booking system requires all electric vehicles, as well as charging points and planning software, to be connected to each other.”

HDV Booking is a new consortium that includes providers of charging facilities, card reader systems, transporters and software developers. It is working on a platform that will enable transporters to find and reserve available charging points.

HDV Booking aims to be operational throughout Europe in 2026.

Mr Bosmans continued: “DAF’s decision to team up with HDV Booking underlines our position as a partner in the energy transition.”
