Connected Kerb has invested £350,000 through its subsidiary Urban EV Infrastructure Ltd to upgrade and expand its manufacturing and innovation operation in Aberdeen. The investment follows its acquisition earlier this year of the business and assets of Aberdeen-based Trojan Energy.
The facility, within Aberdeen’s Energy Transition Zone, combines engineering, product development, testing and manufacturing. Connected Kerb is expanding an existing UK operation, retaining engineering expertise and increasing production capability rather than establishing a manufacturing base from scratch.
More than 3,000 public chargers are expected to be manufactured at the facility in 2027, with a further 25,000 planned by the end of 2030. Production of the company’s wider range of charging infrastructure products is also being brought to Aberdeen.
The operation includes Trojan Energy’s Flat & Flush technology, which provides discreet on-street charging designed to minimise its effect on streetscapes, particularly in historic and heritage locations. The investment strengthens Connected Kerb’s capacity to design, develop and manufacture charging infrastructure in the UK.

Connected Kerb has already installed more than 10,000 chargers across the UK. Its long-term contracts span 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 and through its own independent network. The expanded Aberdeen operation provides a manufacturing base to support the company’s continued network growth across the country.
