Norwegian grocery wholesaler and logistics company ASKO is expanding its commitment to electric heavy-duty transport through a new service agreement with ABB E-mobility covering the operation, maintenance and support of its charging infrastructure.
ASKO, part of the NorgesGruppen Group, operates around 700 trucks that deliver groceries to more than 1,800 stores across Norway. As more of those trucks transition to electric power, reliable high-power charging has become an increasingly important part of the company’s logistics operations.
Under the new agreement, ABB E-mobility will take responsibility for ongoing monitoring, maintenance and support of ASKO’s electric truck charging infrastructure. The arrangement is designed to help maximize charger availability and keep ASKO’s electric delivery fleet operating reliably.
The partnership builds on a relationship that began in 2019. Since then, ABB E-mobility charging systems used by ASKO have delivered more than 20 GWh of electricity.
During the most recent 12-month period alone, the chargers supplied 5.5 GWh of energy. ASKO’s charging network has also expanded to more than 60 active high-power chargers across seven Norwegian cities.
The latest addition to ASKO’s charging infrastructure is ABB E-mobility’s A400 high-power charger, which can deliver up to 400 kW.
The charger has been deployed at an ASKO logistics facility and is intended to provide the high-power, rapid charging required by the company’s heavy-duty electric trucks. It also expands the charging network as ASKO continues replacing conventional trucks with electric alternatives.
For a large logistics fleet, charging infrastructure is more than an energy source. Charger uptime, maintenance and monitoring can directly affect delivery operations, making reliable infrastructure increasingly important as electric trucks become a larger part of commercial fleets.
ASKO has set a long-term goal of achieving fossil-free transport and is continuing to invest in electric trucks, charging infrastructure and renewable energy.
The company has already reached an important milestone in the Oslo region. Since 2025, ASKO has used electric vehicles for deliveries to grocery customers throughout the area.
The broader expansion of electric heavy-duty transport in Norway highlights the growing importance of high-power charging networks capable of supporting commercial vehicles with demanding daily schedules.
As ASKO’s electric truck fleet continues to grow, the new ABB E-mobility service agreement is intended to ensure that its charging infrastructure can keep pace with the company’s transition away from fossil fuels.
