The project to electrify inbound logistics to the Wörth factory was funded by a 3 million euro grant from the Federal Ministry for Digital and Transport. "Electric trucks can already cover the majority of delivery routes over short and medium distances," says Karin Rådström, CEO Mercedes-Benz Trucks. "We want to leave the smallest possible carbon footprint across the entire value chain." "I am pleased [that our funding] is helping to bring climate-friendly commercial vehicles onto the roads," adds Michael Theurer, parliamentary state secretary to the Federal Minister for Digital and Transport. "With the implementation of emission-free deliveries to the Wörth plant, Daimler Truck is sending a clear signal: E-mobility can work well on a large scale and with heavy commercial vehicles." A key part of the project was the development of charging infrastructure at the Wörth site.
