As stakeholders in the logistics industry seek sustainable solutions that meet customer demands while aligning with manufacturing capabilities and available infrastructure, we’ve taken the lead by partnering with Volvo Trucks, Schmitz Cargobull AG, and bp pulse. Together, we conducted an in-depth trial to evaluate the integration of electric trucks and trailers for long-haul deliveries. During the trial, a Volvo FM Electric truck paired with a fully electric Schmitz Cargobull S.KOe COOL box semi-trailer successfully completed multiple trips for our client, Nestlé, covering a total of 1,500 km. The truck operated under various load conditions, including the transport of refrigerated goods, consistently demonstrating both performance and reliability. We gathered and analyzed extensive data on vehicle performance, energy efficiency, and overall reliability. The results were highly promising, with the electric truck achieving an average energy consumption of 1.35 kWh per kilometer. Thanks to bp pulse's high-power charging infrastructure, downtime was minimized, with each charging session taking an average of just 1.5 hours. Watch the video below for more technical insights:
