Scania hands over fully electric refrigerated truck
Nagel-Group's first e-truck goes into operation
Nagel-Group has put the first fully electric refrigerated e-truck into operation. The 18-tonne truck with refrigerated box body and refrigeration unit is used for local transportation at the Bochum site. The drive and refrigeration are fully electric, and the e-truck is charged with solar power generated at the site by a photovoltaic system. The ceremonial handover was carried out by manufacturer Scania.
"The first e-truck in the company's history is a milestone for our fleet management. We have one of the youngest and most modern truck fleets in Europe. We are keeping a close eye on developments in alternative drive systems and are monitoring technological progress with simulations and practical applications," says Carsten Taucke, CEO of Nagel-Group. Further projects will follow in the coming year: "We have already tested a lot in the past with different drives and different manufacturers and will also put up to ten pilot projects on the road in 2023."
The company has set itself ambitious sustainability goals, and the use of alternative drive technologies is an important component in the catalog of measures to achieve these goals. The decision to purchase a Scania e-truck also fits in with Nagel-Group's corporate philosophy, which is geared towards environmental and climate protection. "Scania sees itself as a partner for innovative and future-oriented companies that have set themselves ambitious targets for reducing their CO2 emissions," explains Christian Hottgenroth, Director Sales Trucks, Scania Germany Austria. "We are therefore all the more pleased that the Nagel-Group is using a Scania e-truck in local transport."
The Scania e-truck is now on tour in Bochum and the surrounding area. "We will test how we can best use the vehicle," says Daniel Orzall, Head of Forwarding at Nagel-Group in Bochum. "With a range of around 140 kilometers, we will plan the first tours to supermarkets, hotels and other recipients in the surrounding area."
