Designwerk will expand in Germany in 2024
To meet the growing demand, the Swiss e-truck pioneer Designwerk is expanding its sales structures in Germany and increasing its team in the heavy commercial vehicles sector with four experienced sales specialists. The first to join was Joachim Schürmann, who became the new Key Account Manager for the Europe North region at the end of 2023. Early January saw the addition of Jannik Winzer and Ewald Weinhold. Together, they form a sales team led by Fabian Bahlmann, who has also been newly appointed as the Sales Director for E-Trucks Europe North.
2023: Expansion in Benelux and Scandinavia
Designwerk is building on last year's expansion in Benelux and Scandinavia. The electric specialist aims to position itself primarily as a specialist in custom solutions. With the expansion in Germany, the Winterthur-based company is responding to the evolving market and numerous customer inquiries.
Balance Sheet
The balance sheet for the year 2023 looks good overall for Designwerk. Customers have driven a total of 5,778,509 km electrically with Swiss electric trucks in the past year, bringing the total mileage to 10,650,126 km since the first delivery of a Designwerk electric truck.
The portfolio includes, among other things, fast charging solutions, high-voltage storage solutions, and electric trucks. Compared to the year 2022, the e-mobility specialist was able to sell 51% more electric trucks and 24% more mobile chargers. The company now employs 230 people at five locations.
In the field of electric trucks, Designwerk made headlines last year with battery capacities of up to 1,000 kWh. At the same time, the Winterthur-based company launched a new, compact, mobile fast charger with 88 kW charging power and 920 V voltage for flexible use. For much more demanding charging situations, they introduced a battery-buffered mega-charger at the end of the year, which in the future will be able to charge several heavy commercial vehicles simultaneously with a charging power of up to 2 MW.
