It works! Three days and over 2,000 kilometers with the e-truck

The Dachser branch in Bad Salzuflen uses the battery-powered Renault Trucks E-Tech D for daily distribution transport around the branch. With a range of around 300 kilometers, the agile and quiet e-truck is well suited for this purpose. But is the vehicle also up to a trip across Europe, across several national borders?

This question arose when Matthias Syrbe, who works in scheduling, asked for support for a transport for charitable purposes. Furniture was to be transported to Hungary by truck - over 2,000 kilometers there and back. Operations Manager Hans-Jürgen Westerhoff wanted to help. But only the electric truck was available. No reason for Matthias Syrbe and his co-driver to look elsewhere - and the perfect occasion for a little adventure. In this interview, he talks about their journey.
