VW factory logistics electrified: First of 120 MAN eTrucks delivered to Duvenbeck
With the handover of the first MAN eTruck to the Duvenbeck Group on December 5, 2024, in Munich, both companies have taken another important step in the electrification of freight transport. The Ultra Low Liner eTGX semi-trailer truck is the first of a total of 120 electric trucks that the logistics service provider plans to put into service by 2026, the manufacturer reports.
The vehicle was specifically developed for the cargo volume requirements of automotive logistics and is intended to make Volkswagen factory logistics particularly climate-friendly in the future. For the vehicle manufacturer, it is to be used in various areas of the freight sector in the Rhine-Ruhr area, as well as Benelux.
"With the Ultra Low Liner eTruck, MAN has developed a solution perfectly tailored to the requirements of the automotive industry. No other series-production electric semi-trailer truck can pull trailers with an interior height of three meters. This makes it the ideal choice for transports with high volume needs," explains Friedrich Baumann, Executive Board Member for Sales & Customer Solutions at MAN Truck & Bus.
Duvenbeck: Partner for Green Logistics
At Duvenbeck, sustainability has been a central element of the company's strategy for years, according to the statement. With the "Green Logistics" initiative, the company is focusing on low-emission and resource-conserving transport solutions.
"The MAN eTruck is an important step towards emission-free logistics. It helps us meet our customers' requirements while protecting the environment. Sustainability is a lived practice with us," emphasizes Bernd Reining, Senior Director Procurement at Duvenbeck.
Duvenbeck states that it continuously implements measures to optimize energy efficiency and resource conservation. These include the use of alternative drives, reducing empty runs, and innovative loading concepts. With the MAN eTrucks, the logistics service provider aims to take another step forward in minimizing CO2 emissions in the supply chain.
Climate-friendly logistics for Volkswagen Logistics
Simon Motter, Head of Volkswagen Group Logistics, comments on the future use of the MAN eTruck in Volkswagen's production supply:
"For the first time, eTrucks from MAN will be used for the Volkswagen plant in Wolfsburg. This will now prove the everyday usability and economic efficiency of the technology."
The use of MAN eTrucks is part of the so-called Go-to-Zero Impact Logistics, a program with which Volkswagen has embarked on the path to consistently climate-friendly logistics. The company sees the use of electric trucks as the most crucial long-term lever to reduce CO2 emissions in road transport.
Where the strategically prioritized use of rail with green electricity is not possible, for example due to a lack of rail connections, the vehicle manufacturer favors battery-electric trucks powered by green electricity.
In the deployment of its transport means, the corporation pursues a cross-modal concept, in which each mode of transport is used according to its strengths: the train for long distances, environmentally friendly trucks for the initial and final legs, as well as for short and medium distances.
Technological Innovation as Key
The Ultra Low Liner eTruck MAN eTGX, with a coupling height of 950 millimeters and a wheelbase of 3.75 meters, can meet the special requirements of automotive logistics. Since the focus in this segment is more on high loading volumes than high load weights, an internal height of three meters in the trailer is standard.
The vehicle delivered to Duvenbeck with maximum battery capacity reaches a range of around 500 kilometers. The modular concept of the eTGX – optionally four, five, or six battery packs and power levels of 449 and 544 PS – can be perfectly adapted to the respective transport task. It is equipped with CCS charging technology (up to 375 kW) as standard. Optionally, it can also be ordered with the new MCS standard.
With 360-Degree Consulting
Transport companies also benefit from MAN's 360-degree eMobility Consulting when switching to electromobility: The consultation on transitioning to electromobility includes, among other things, customer-specific analyses of vehicle use and charging infrastructure needs.
Through partnerships with charging infrastructure providers, MAN's offering also includes the provision of charging infrastructure itself. Moreover, specially tailored service contracts and financing solutions as well as numerous digital services for the use of the new electric lions are available, just as they are for conventionally powered trucks.
This includes, among other things, the MAN eReadyCheck, which allows customers to check how their delivery routes can be driven purely electrically, as well as the charging service MAN Charge & Go, including a charging card, which enables simple, consolidated charging planning and billing for international routes.
