A major proof point for the electrification of heavy-duty transport has just emerged from Sweden. Mercedes-Benz Trucks' eActros 600 is now covering more than 1,000 kilometers per day in real long-haul operations. The vehicle is being operated by WLX WeLink Express AB for DHL, running routes between Malmö, Jönköping, and Emmaboda. This isn’t a lab test — it’s a commercially viable logistics route, executed under real conditions. And it tells us something important: long-haul e

The shift toward electric heavy-duty transport is accelerating across Europe — but nowhere is the momentum clearer than in Switzerland.A recent interview with Martin Lörtscher, CEO of Hugelshofer Gruppe , highlights why the company already operates nearly 80 electric trucks and continues to expand its fleet. Switzerland is emerging as a real-world case study of what happens when economics, regulation, geography, and technology align in the right way. Below are the core fact

Placing chargers at a depot is far more complex than selecting an empty corner of the yard. Many early charging sites failed not because of the technology, but because of poor layout and design choices that created operational friction, safety hazards, or unnecessary grid costs. Based on real-world depot projects and CharIN e.V.’s latest recommendations, these are the five factors every operator must get right before installing high-power charging systems. 1.

The Bundestag has officially extended the toll exemption for battery-electric trucks on German highways until 30 June 2031 .While this may appear to be a straightforward regulatory decision, the implications for operators, logistics providers, and infrastructure planners are far-reaching. This isn’t simply a cost adjustment — it is a strategic shift with the potential to accelerate the transition from diesel to electric far faster than previously projected. Below is a deeper
