Return visit to Zambia: DACHSER young professionals get to know the successful Trash4Cash project
In September of this year, five young people who are currently completing a dual study program at DACHSER traveled to Zambia as part of an exchange project. Among other things, they visited the recycling company Trash4Cash, which young Zambians founded in Livingstone in 2019 with the support of DACHSER and the children's charity Terre des Hommes. The young entrepreneurs from Zambia had visited Kempten in the Allgäu region back in May and took an in-depth look at waste management in Germany.

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.
