Connected Kerb is investing £350,000 to upgrade and expand its electric vehicle charging manufacturing and innovation operation in Aberdeen.
The work is being carried out through the company’s subsidiary, Urban EV Infrastructure, at a facility in Aberdeen’s Energy Transition Zone. The site brings engineering, product development, testing and manufacturing together in one location.
Building on Trojan Energy acquisition
The investment follows Connected Kerb’s acquisition earlier in 2026 of the business and assets of Aberdeen-based Trojan Energy. The company said it would retain existing engineering expertise while increasing production capacity and strengthening its supply chain.
The facility will produce Connected Kerb’s wider charging range, alongside Trojan Energy’s Flat & Flush technology. The discreet on-street system is designed to reduce the visual impact of charging infrastructure, including in historic and heritage settings.
Connected Kerb said more than 28,000 chargers are expected to be manufactured at the Aberdeen facility between 2027 and the end of 2030. Its charging contracts cover Ceredigion, Cardiff, Plymouth, South Tyneside, Oxfordshire, Surrey, Coventry and several London boroughs. In Scotland, it has deployed chargers for councils through the ChargePlace Scotland network as well as through its own network.
Chris Pateman-Jones, chief executive of Connected Kerb, said: “We have invested in the facility and are now bringing production of our wider Connected Kerb range to Aberdeen. It gives us the manufacturing base we need to support our growth across Scotland and the wider UK.”
Neil Young, deputy chief executive at ETZ Ltd, said the investment retained skills and manufacturing capability in the city while creating a platform for future growth. Scotland’s Cabinet Secretary for Economy, Tourism and Transport, Stephen Flynn, said the facility would support jobs, innovation and the delivery of charging infrastructure needed to accelerate the switch to electric vehicles.
