Elsen Logistics: Plant Transport at Siemens Energy with Volvo FH Electric
The first fully electric trucks have recently been deployed for Elsen Logistik. Ralf Sauerborn, Managing Director and Vice President of Operations at Elsen Logistik:
"As a logistics company, we are absolutely aware of our responsibility regarding sustainability. Unfortunately, the range of electric trucks is still not sufficient for long-distance and heavy-duty transport, but for factory supply with short distances, they are the ideal solution. And we are pleased to be able to implement this project together with our long-term customer Siemens Energy Global GmbH & Co. KG."
The two Volvo FH Electric trucks were procured from Greiwing Truck & Trailer in Greven and are equipped with six battery packs and three electric motors. They are designed to deliver performance on the road while consuming significantly less energy – 50 percent less compared to a diesel truck, according to the logistics company.
The two fully electric trucks transport industrial goods for Siemens Energy from the warehouse in Ansbach to Nuremberg for production. By using the two vehicles, Elsen aims to set a benchmark for sustainability and innovation, according to their own statements. Sauerborn:
Translated automatically from German."Environmental awareness and alternative drives are becoming increasingly important for logistics companies. The two e-trucks are a good step towards greater sustainability and also help us remain competitive."
