Share of e-trucks to increase to 60%
DHL Freight has put its first fully electric tractor-trailers from Mercedes-Benz Trucks into service for deliveries and distribution at its Koblenz and Hagen sites in Germany.
The truck stationed in Hagen makes transport more sustainable on round trips between the DHL branch and the Mercedes-Benz plant in Kassel. The second eActros 300 truck carries out carbon-free deliveries to customers in the Koblenz area.
The 19 t vehicles are the first heavy battery electric tractor-trailers to be deployed for DHL Freight’s services in Germany. The plan is to increase the share of electric vehicles in the delivery fleet to 60% and that of sustainable fuels within the DHL Group to more than 30%, DHL said. (ben)
