In a press release, MAN said Duvenbeck would be one of the first customers to receive the new MAN electric truck from 2024.
“Among other things, these are ultra semitrailer tractors with a low fifth-wheel height, which allows an interior height of three metres in the trailer. These volume semi-trailers are frequently used in automotive logistics in particular,” said MAN.
Commenting on the order, Friedrich Baumann, Executive Board Member for Sales and Customer Service at MAN Truck & Bus, said:
“We are very pleased about the confidence of our long-standing partner Duvenbeck in our battery-electric trucks. On the one hand, the Zero Emission Vehicles reduce the direct CO2 footprint of our customers, but at the same time they also help to make the logistics of our customers’ customers more climate-friendly. The example of Volkswagen Group Logistics shows: Helping to shape the drive revolution in freight transport is the task of everyone involved.”
Christian Schweckhorst, CEO Duvenbeck, added:
“We are pleased to be taking an important step towards further CO2 savings together with MAN and Volkswagen. In doing so, we are advancing our innovative technical capabilities and hope for a rapid expansion of the public charging infrastructure.”
The MAN eTrucks ordered by Duvenbeck can initially be charged with a maximum of 375 kW (CCS 2 charging standard).
The vehicle’s permanently excited synchronous motor delivers an output of 330 kW, while a central motor-gearbox combination with four gears translates the power to the drive axle.
