Oct 18, 2025 at 8:09 PMLast Friday, F-Trucks Deutschland GmbH handed over the first 15 of a total of 25 new Ford F-MAX GEN 2.0 trucks to Zeitfracht Logistik GmbH. Henning Stenkat, Sales Manager of F-Trucks Deutschland GmbH, officially handed over the keys at the Zeitfracht location in Erfurt to Jan Sinram, Managing Director of Zeitfracht Logistik GmbH.
(Crailsheim/Erfurt) The handover marks another milestone in the strategic partnership between Kolibri Beteiligung GmbH, Ford Trucks, and the Haupt Racing Team (HRT), which was established in May of this year. The goal of the cooperation is to leverage synergies between logistics, technology, and motorsport to drive innovation and efficiency in the commercial vehicle sector.
As part of the framework agreement, Ford Trucks will supply the heavy trucks that will be used by Zeitfracht Logistik in the future. Additionally, the partnership includes close technological collaboration with HRT, one of the leading European motorsport teams. At the modern HRT RACE BASE located near the Nürburgring, companies from the Kolibri Group – including Zeitfracht Logistik, Zeitfracht Medien, and German Airways – are jointly developing new technologies and optimized processes for the logistics of tomorrow in collaboration with HRT.
A key focus is on efficiency and sustainability in fleet operations. With the new generation of the Ford F-MAX GEN 2.0, Zeitfracht drivers benefit from state-of-the-art aerodynamics, an advanced Ecotorq engine, and digital solutions like Ford ConnecTruck, which enable intelligent fleet management. The result: significantly lower fuel consumption, reduced operating costs, and increased driving comfort.
Bernhard Kerscher, Managing Director of F-Trucks Deutschland GmbH: “We are very pleased to have Zeitfracht as a significant strategic partner by our side. Together with Kolibri Beteiligung and the Haupt Racing Team, we are setting new standards in the connection of technology, efficiency, and practical experience – creating real added value for our customers in the logistics sector.”
Wolfram Simon-Schröter, Managing Director of Kolibri Beteiligung GmbH: “With Ford Trucks and HRT, we are combining competencies from different worlds – logistics, automotive, and motorsport. This combination opens up new perspectives for innovation and efficiency in our business areas.”
