E-truck reduces CO2 emissions
Infineon Technologies is taking a further step towards CO2 neutrality by focusing on electric mobility for logistics solutions. Just in time for the international day of the environment (05.06.), an electric truck will enter regular service at the company's branch in Regensburg (Germany) after two weeks of testing.
The electric vehicle of logistics partner Kuehne + Nagel will run between the factory premises and an external warehouse in the east of the city four times per working day, thus travelling around 100 km every day.
Thanks to the electric drive, the vehicle saves around 18 t CO2 per annum. The 7.5 t truck produced by e-truck manufacturer Frama therefore saves 60 to 100% of the CO2 emissions of a comparable diesel vehicle – depending on the source of the electricity used. (ben)
