In line with the Group’s sustainability strategy, the plan is to increase the share of electric vehicles in the delivery fleet to 60 per cent and that of sustainable fuels within the DHL Group to more than 30 per cent.
The eActros 300 vehicles are powered by two electric engines and have a range of approximately 220 kilometres.
Depending on the charging infrastructure, their batteries can be recharged from 20 to 80 per cent in about one hour and 15 minutes at a charging capacity of up to 160 kW.
