DAF Trucks dealers Motus and Ford & Slater have opened their depot charging to third-party fleets through the Paua Share initiative.

Depot sites operated by Motus and Ford & Slater will be made accessible to commercial fleets via Paua Share, helping expand the available charging network for electric rigid and articulated trucks across the UK.

The two new partners add 16 new truck charging locations to the Paua truck and shared depot ecosystem, helping fleets seeking practical, reliable charging options beyond their own infrastructure.

Importantly, the depots will welcome electric trucks from any manufacturer, not just DAF vehicles, supporting the wider transition to zero-emission freight.

Charging access remains one of the key challenges for fleets electrifying heavy vehicles, and shared depot charging is seen as a linchpin, helping to extend network coverage, improve charger utilisation and support more efficient route planning.

The integrations have been delivered through close collaboration across multiple partners. Motus has worked with Envevo to install the chargers, while Ford & Slater has worked with EO to install the chargers. Paua has subsequently integrated both partners into its platform, enabling fleets to access depot infrastructure using Paua’s EV charging payment and depot sharing capability.

John Jesson, EV and connected services manager at Motus Commercial, commented: “As more businesses transition to electric trucks, enabling shared access to depot charging will help fleets operate with greater confidence and flexibility.”

Niall Riddell, CEO and co-founder of Paua, added: “Motus and Ford & Slater joining Paua Share is a strong example of the industry working together to accelerate electric truck adoption. Depot charging is a critical part of the ecosystem. By opening trusted depot infrastructure to other fleets, we can rapidly extend the usable charging network for electric trucks across the UK.”
