The ASTAG Charging Platform by Members for Members

ASTAG Charge keeps growing: 64 companies already on board

ASTAG Charge is becoming the largest industry charging network for electric trucks in Switzerland: 64 transport companies with around 400 vehicles have joined, and around 126 charging points across 40 sites are available for shared use. A new driver app helps drivers find available charging stations and shows details about the charging infrastructure and how to get there. The official launch takes place on 10 November 2026 at the AS-TAG event in Thun.

ASTAG Charge enters the beta phase

Following the successful pilot launch in April, ASTAG Charge — together with partners Depotcharge and OGIL GmbH — is opening up to more transport companies and ASTAG members. Around 300 electric trucks are already registered on the charging network, with more companies onboarded continuously during the beta phase. The official rollout takes place on 10 November 2026 at the ASTAG conference in Thun.

New perspective for charging infrastructure: ASTAG Charge goes live

With the contract signing at the kick-off event, ASTAG Charge is officially live. The article features pilot participants like Roland Stuber (F. Stuber Transporte AG) sharing hands-on insights in short video interviews – around 20 pilot companies with 260 electric trucks are already on board.

“This number clearly shows that the industry is moving and has confidence in this project. ASTAG Charge is no longer a theoretical concept — it is already lived practice.”

ASTAG launches ASTAG Charge: new app connects charging infrastructure in the transport sector

The Swiss Road Transport Association ASTAG is introducing ASTAG Charge, a new association solution for charging electric trucks. Built on the Depotcharge platform, it lets ASTAG members open up their charging infrastructure to other members. The pilot phase starts in early May 2026; from November 2026, the solution will be rolled out to all ASTAG members step by step.

“ASTAG Charge supports ASTAG transport companies in the practical and economical introduction of alternative drives.”

ASTAG Charge: Charging together – moving forward simply

Background: the concept behind ASTAG Charge.

Companies are building a growing stock of their own charging infrastructure at depot sites. Technically it is designed for heavy transport, but outside the company's own fleet it is often only partially used. This tension — rising demand for charging on one side, unused capacity on the other — is the starting point for ASTAG Charge.

ASTAG Charge: Charging within the network

Kickoff: idea, partner and next steps.

The ASTAG Charge app is not meant to be a complicated system but a practical, day-to-day tool for transport operators. Together with partner OGIL, ASTAG is currently mapping which charging points already exist among members, where the concrete demand lies and how strong the interest is in a shared solution. This feedback is decisive so the app can be built in a targeted way — to work in real operations.
