DAF truck charging,
powered by Paua
More places to charge. Built for trucks. One way to access and pay.
DAF and Paua are working together to make electric truck charging easier across the UK.
By bringing DAF dealer charging locations into the Paua network alongside public, truck-only and shared depot charging, electric truck operators can find more places to charge when they are away from their own depot.
Electric trucks need more than a charger at their home depot
Moving to electric trucks changes the way fleets think about refuelling.
Your vehicles may start and finish the day at your own depot, but what happens when they are hundreds of miles away?
Fleet operators need to know:
- Where can my electric truck charge?
- Will the vehicle physically fit?
- How powerful is the charger?
- Can my driver access the site?
- How much will charging cost?
- How do I pay for charging across different networks?
Paua is building the infrastructure layer that helps answer these questions.
One network for electric truck charging
Paua has been developing its UK electric truck charging network since 2024.
It brings together three important types of charging infrastructure:
Public truck-accessible charging
High-power public charging locations where suitable electric trucks can charge.
Dedicated truck charging
Purpose-built electric HGV charging hubs designed around the size, power and operational requirements of trucks.
Shared-depot charging
Private charging infrastructure at truck dealers, bus depots, fleet depots and other commercial locations that can be made available to approved fleets through Paua Share.
Together, these give operators more options for charging away from their own depot.
DAF dealers are helping build the network
DAF and Paua are working together to enable DAF dealer groups to make suitable charging infrastructure available through Paua Share.
DAF dealers Motus Commercials and Ford & Slater are already working with Paua, adding charging locations across the UK.
As more DAF dealer locations join, they will complement Paua's existing public, dedicated truck and shared-depot charging partners.
For electric truck operators, that means a growing network of charging locations designed around commercial vehicles rather than simply adapting car charging infrastructure.
