Shell unterstützt die elektrische Lkw-Flotte von Amazons Partnern mit reservierbarem Hochleistungsladen in Deutschland
Hamburg - Shell unterstützt Amazon beim Ausbau elektrischer Schwerlasttransporte in Deutschland. Hierfür nutzt Amazon die öffentlichen Hochleistungsladehubs von Shell in Hannover, Kirchheim und künftig auch in Koblenz.
Shell stellt an den Standorten Hochleistungsladeinfrastruktur bereit - ausgelegt speziell auf die Anforderungen des Schwerlastverkehrs. Die flüssigkeitsgekühlten, reservierbaren Ladepunkte bieten Ladeleistungen von bis zu 400 kW und ermöglichen kurze Ladezeiten sowie eine hohe Fahrzeugverfügbarkeit im täglichen Logistikbetrieb.
An ausgewählten Standorten werden Amazons Transportpartner zudem exklusiv das von Shell entwickelte Pilotprojekt „Home-away-from-Home“ nutzen. Damit können Flottenbetreiber Ladefenster im Voraus zu reservieren und Ladevorgänge besser in ihre Transportplanung zu integrieren. So lässt sich öffentliches Laden effizient mit Routenplanung, Fahrzeugverfügbarkeit sowie den gesetzlichen Lenk- und Ruhezeiten abstimmen.
Der Zugang zur Ladeinfrastruktur und die Abrechnung erfolgen über die Shell Card. Flottenkunden erhalten damit eine integrierte Lösung für Zugang, Bezahlung und Management innerhalb von Shells wachsendem Ladenetzwerk für schwere Nutzfahrzeuge in Europa, das derzeit über 150 Lkw Ladehubs umfasst.
„Die Elektrifizierung des Schwerlastverkehrs erfordert zuverlässige und einfach nutzbare Ladeinfrastruktur entlang der wichtigsten Transportkorridore“, sagt Melanie Falkenstern, Head of Fleet Solutions DACH bei Shell. „Die Zusammenarbeit mit Amazon zeigt, wie öffentliches Hochleistungsladen den Einsatz elektrischer Lkw im täglichen Betrieb unterstützen kann. Mit unseren Ladehubs, der Shell Card und Angeboten wie Home-away-from-Home schaffen wir Lösungen, die mehr Flexibilität und Planungssicherheit bieten.“
Amazons Partner gehören zu den größten Betreibern elektrischer Lkw in Europa. Sie setzen bereits mehr als 30 batterieelektrische schwere Nutzfahrzeuge in Deutschland ein. Durch die Einbindung des öffentlichen Shell Ladenetzes in seine Logistikabläufe kann das Unternehmen die weitere Elektrifizierung der mittleren Meile unterstützen.
„Während wir weiterhin Elektro-Lkw in unser Transportnetzwerk integrieren, ist ein zuverlässiger Zugang zu Hochleistungsladeinfrastruktur unverzichtbar.“, sagt Andreas Marschner, Vice President of Worldwide Sustainable Operations bei Amazon. „Die Zusammenarbeit mit Shell erweitert unsere Ladeoptionen auf wichtigen Routen in Deutschland. Die Möglichkeit, Ladezeiten im Voraus zu reservieren, erleichtert es, Touren, Ladehalte und Fahrerpausen noch zuverlässiger zu planen.“
Mit der zunehmenden Elektrifizierung des Straßengüterverkehrs wächst der Bedarf an öffentlicher Hochleistungsladeinfrastruktur entlang zentraler Transport- und Logistikkorridore. Shell investiert daher kontinuierlich in den Ausbau seines Ladenetzes für schwere Nutzfahrzeuge und unterstützt Unternehmen dabei, die Flotten schrittweise zu elektrifizieren.
Shell to support Amazon's Partners' electric truck fleet with bookable, high-power charging in Germany
Hamburg – Shell is working with Amazon to help charge the electric heavy-duty trucks in its transportation network in Germany, using high-power truck charging hubs in Hannover, Kirchheim and, shortly, Koblenz.
Shell will provide high-power charging infrastructure at key logistics locations in Germany to support electric heavy-duty truck operations within Amazon’s transportation network. The hubs are designed for the demands of heavy-duty fleets, with liquid-cooled, bookable chargers delivering up to 400 kW to help meet the power requirements and turnaround times needed for electric truck operations.
Amazon’s partners will also use Shell’s “Home-away-from-Home” model exclusively at selected sites. The Shell-developed system allows fleet operators to reserve charging slots in advance, helping make public high-power charging more predictable and better aligned with route planning, vehicle uptime and legally mandated driver rest periods.
Access and payment are handled through the Shell Card, giving fleet customers a single payment and management solution across Shell’s growing integrated charging network for heavy-duty vehicles in Germany, which currently includes around 150 charging points.
The collaboration in Germany builds on Shell’s existing relationship with Amazon, where Shell already provides mobility products and services in other countries.
“Amazon’s use of Shell’s high-power truck charging hubs shows how we can help fleet operators electrify heavy-duty transport in a practical way. Our focus is on providing reliable, high-power charging in the right locations, with simple access and payment through the Shell Card. Services such as Home-away-from-Home add another layer of certainty by helping fleets plan charging around their operations,” said Melanie Falkenstern, Head of Fleet Solutions DACH at Shell.
Amazon is among the largest buyers of electric trucks in Europe, with more than 45 electric heavy-duty vehicles currently operating within its transportation network in Germany. By integrating Shell’s public charging network into its logistics network, Amazon can support the continued scale-up of electric trucks.
“As we continue to integrate electric trucks into our transport network, reliable access to high-power charging is essential. Working with Shell gives us additional charging options on key routes in Germany, while the ability to reserve charging slots helps us plan routes, charging stops and driver rest periods with greater confidence,” said Andreas Marschner, Vice President of Worldwide Sustainable Operations at Amazon.
Germany is one of Shell’s key energy transition countries and a core market for its e-mobility business. Shell currently operates more than 2,400 charging points across the country, supporting customers as their mobility needs change.

Shell’s net carbon intensity and net-zero emissions target
In this press release we may refer to Shell’s “net carbon intensity” (NCI), which includes Shell’s carbon emissions from the production of our energy products, our suppliers’ carbon emissions in supplying energy for that production and our customers’ carbon emissions associated with their use of the energy products we sell. Shell’s NCI also includes the emissions associated with the production and use of energy products produced by others which Shell purchases for resale. Shell only controls its own emissions. The use of the terms Shell’s “net carbon intensity” or NCI is for convenience only and not intended to suggest these emissions are those of Shell plc or its subsidiaries.
Shell’s operating plan and outlook are forecasted for a three-year period and ten-year period, respectively, and are updated every year. They reflect the current economic environment and what we can reasonably expect to see over the next three and ten years. Accordingly, the outlook reflects our combined Scope 1 and 2 target, NCI target and our oil products ambition over the next ten years. However, Shell’s operating plan and outlook cannot reflect our 2050 net-zero emissions target, as this target is outside our planning period. Such future operating plans and outlooks could include changes to our portfolio, efficiency improvements and the use of carbon capture and storage and carbon credits. In the future, as society moves towards net-zero emissions, we expect Shell’s operating plans and outlooks to reflect this movement. However, if society is not net zero in 2050, as of today, there would be significant risk that Shell may not meet this target.
The information provided above regarding Shell’s NCI and net zero emissions target are not intended, nor should they be construed as introducing, suggesting or making any claim, target or representation thereof other than what is included in the press release.
Forward-Looking non-GAAP measures
This press release may contain certain forward-looking non-GAAP measures such as free cash flow and underlying operating expenses. We are unable to provide a reconciliation of these forward-looking non-GAAP measures to the most comparable GAAP financial measures because certain information needed to reconcile those non-GAAP measures to the most comparable GAAP financial measures is dependent on future events some of which are outside the control of Shell, such as oil and gas prices, interest rates and exchange rates. Moreover, estimating such GAAP measures with the required precision necessary to provide a meaningful reconciliation is extremely difficult and could not be accomplished without unreasonable effort. Non-GAAP measures in respect of future periods which cannot be reconciled to the most comparable GAAP financial measure are calculated in a manner which is consistent with the accounting policies applied in Shell plc’s consolidated financial statements. These forward-looking non-GAAP measures are provided to assist readers in understanding management’s use and expectations of such measures and may not be appropriate for other purposes.
