Freight traffic must be taken into account in the turnaround in traffic. Here, too, the necessary infrastructure is currently still missing. Some European manufacturers want to change that.
The manufacturers Daimler Truck, Traton and Volvo want to set up at least 1,700 charging stations for electric trucks and coaches across Europe by 2027.
For this purpose, the companies wanted to invest 500 million euros through a joint company from 2022, announced the companies based in Stuttgart, Munich and Gothenburg on Monday. The three companies have signed a corresponding letter of intent.
According to this, the public high-performance charging stations operated with green electricity are to be set up near motorways, at logistics centers and unloading points. The planned joint company for the construction should have its headquarters in Amsterdam, the agreement on the foundation should take place by the end of 2021. With the charging stations, they want to pave the way for climate-neutral freight transport by 2050, the companies said.
