DHL presents the "Extended Range Electric Vehicle" (EREV) developed with Scania for the first time at the International Transport Forum in Leipzig
Key insights after approximately 22,000 kilometers driven: The vehicle provides the necessary operational flexibility and energy reserve, operates 90% of the time in electric mode, and enables stable operations
Savings of nearly 16 metric tons of CO2e during the testing period
DHL CEO Tobias Meyer: 'We need pragmatic solutions like the EREV and quick political decisions to enable such bridging technologies. We want to decarbonize the transport sector now and regulation should not hinder but support us to do so.'
