    A great story on Daimler Trucks Brisbane and Daimler Trucks Gold Coast ACFS Port Logistics is operating a Mercedes-Benz eActros as part of an all-electric container delivery pilot program in Sydney. The leading logistics provider is the first company to run the eActros prime mover in Australia as part of the “ACFS Better Way” program, which represents the company’s commitment to sustainability and innovation in the logistics industry. The eActros features class-leading electric truck technology, including an e-axle, which integrates electric motors into the drive axle of the truck and replaces a traditional driveshaft. Daimler Truck Australia Pacific President and CEO, Daniel Whitehead, says the ACFS pilot program is demonstrating the benefits of running an electric truck in Sydney. “ACFS has a proven track record of striving to reduce its emissions in any way it can, including purchasing Daimler Truck vehicles that meet Euro 6 or equivalent emissions levels such as the Mercedes-Benz Actros and Fuso Shogun,” Mr Whitehead says. ACFS Port Logistics Chief Executive Officer and Managing Director, Arthur Tzaneros, says the pilot program represents an important milestone for the company. "We are proud to introduce the Mercedes eActros to our fleet and be at the forefront of clean Transport solutions,” he says. Daimler Trucks Brisbane and Gold Coast General Manager, Aaron Camilleri, says ACFS has been a valued client since 2019 and has always been very clear that decarbonation is key priority. “It’s great to see ACFS’ continued commitment to their emissions reduction strategy,” Mr Camilleri says.
