Logistics provider DACHSER will introduce at least 50 additional battery electric trucks on European routes by the end of 2023. 

DACHSER is also planning to add around 1,000 electric passenger cars to its fleet of company and service vehicles. 

In parallel, the company will press ahead with a range of pilot projects to develop and test hydrogen-powered trucks equipped with fuel cell technology. 

DACHSER plans to have hydrogen-powered vehicles from a range of manufacturers operating within its network by no later than the beginning of 2023.

Stefan Hohm, Chief Development Officer at DACHSER said: “The only way for the transportation sector to meet the global community’s long-term goal of net zero emissions is by using zero-emission vehicles. That’s why such vehicles form a key plank of our own climate protection strategy. 

“We’re going to significantly expand our use of environmentally friendly vehicles in the coming years, which will give us valuable practical experience and also help us increase the number of units.”
