Schenker today became the first customer worldwide to take delivery of the battery-electric Mercedes-Benz eActros as a series-production vehicle and will be using the 19-tonne truck for general cargo deliveries in urban logistics operations.
"DB Schenker is already able to make CO2-free general cargo deliveries from more than 60 locations across Europe. With the eActros, DB Schenker is adding another vehicle model to its sustainable fleet and taking another important step toward climate-neutral logistics," reads the release.
"As a pioneer in the field of innovative transport solutions, and with a Group-wide fleet of more than 30,000 vehicles, we at DB Schenker have set ourselves the goal of becoming the world's leading provider of green logistics services," says Wolfgang Janda, Executive Vice President, Head of Network & Line Haul Management at DB Schenker. "After all, our success is based not only on our reliable logistics services but also on our social commitment and the contribution we make to environmental protection. To do this, you need to have the right mix of vehicles with alternative drive systems. The light FUSO eCanter truck from Daimler Truck has already proved its suitability for everyday use at DB Schenker facilities in several cities, and now we're excited to see how the eActros will perform."
