Following a successful test phase in February and May 2023, regular operation of the cross-border connection has now started. On the road with the eActros is the service partner Flytt Logistic GmbH.
The swap body train is used in two shifts: during the day, the 40-ton eTruck operates in regional distribution transport in the Hof area, and at night on the cross-border route between Germany and the Czech Republic.
According to the manufacturer, the eActros 300 has an average range of up to 300 kilometres – depending on factors such as topography or weight.
The lorry is charged at fixed charging points and directly at the Dachser branch in Kladno, Czech Republic.
The zero-emission vehicle takes just over an hour to charge.
“Our tests with the eActros have provided us with important insights into the suitability of electromobility for everyday use in long-distance transport, ” says Klaus Neubing, General Manager at Dachser in Hof.
Dachser has been using battery-powered electric vehicles since 2018, including as part of the sustainable city delivery concept “Dachser Emission-Free Delivery”.
The vehicle fleet with alternative drive systems is constantly expanding, including in the long-distance sector.
