The cooperation includes exclusive, worldwide first pilot tests of a fully electric Volvo FH truck with gross combination weights up to 60 tons. Starting in March, the truck will operate between two DHL Freight logistics terminals in <span class=\"xn-location\">Sweden<\/span>, a distance of approximately 150 km. During the trial, Volvo and DHL will gain important experience and information regarding the setup and operation of an adequate charging infrastructure. The collected insights will help to optimize the right balance between operated distance, load weight and charging points in daily road freight operations.<\/p>\n<p>DHL is actively working, along with Volvo Trucks, on the reduction of their ecological footprint, with sustainability being an integral part of the company&#8217;s strategy. <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Our aim is to reduce all logistics-related emissions to zero. Important milestones have already been achieved in meeting this: compared to 2007, our Group&#8217;s CO2 efficiency has improved by 35%. However, we need innovative technological solutions and strong partnerships along this journey. I&#8217;m confident that our strong cooperation with Volvo Trucks, one of the major truck brands in the world, will support us in achieving our ambitious environmental goals in the road freight sector,&#8221; says <span class=\"xn-person\">Uwe Brinks<\/span>, CEO at DHL Freight.<\/p>\n<p>Volvo Trucks is driving the necessary shift towards fossil free transports by making the <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/c212.net\/c\/link\/?t=0&amp;l=en&amp;o=3075611-1&amp;h=1353733276&amp;u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.volvotrucks.com%2Fen-en%2Ftrucks%2Falternative-fuels%2Felectric-trucks.html&amp;a=transition+to+electrification\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">transition to electrification<\/a>\u00a0as seamless and efficient as possible. This is done by considering every aspect of the eco-system for electrification, including charging, route planning, vehicles, service and other support. <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The transport business is changing rapidly and to be sustainable is an increasingly important business advantage for many of our customers. We offer effective transport solutions that help make a fast transition to fossil-free fuels such as electricity. We have a longstanding relationship with DHL. Their broad and global expertise in logistics allows us to study the conditions to progress with this technology shift, adapting it to customer needs and their type of transport operation,&#8221; says <span class=\"xn-person\">Roger Alm<\/span>, President at Volvo Trucks.<\/p>\n<p>DHL Freight is actively driving various sustainability and fossil-free technology projects and has introduced a climate-focused shipping program in <span class=\"xn-location\">Sweden<\/span>. Customers using the program pay a fixed surcharge for every parcel or pallet shipped and the income generated from the surcharges is fully invested in clean technologies within the Swedish network. <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The logistics sector is facing a huge challenge, which also offers a great opportunity at the same time &#8211; the decarbonization of freight transportation. The collaboration with Volvo Trucks helps DHL Freight to play an even bigger role in the transition to sustainable alternatives and is another significant proof point for our long-term strategy towards climate-neutral transportation,&#8221; explains <span class=\"xn-person\">Robert Zander<\/span>, CEO of DHL Freight Sweden.<\/p>\n<p>Already today, <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/c212.net\/c\/link\/?t=0&amp;l=en&amp;o=3075611-1&amp;h=172647203&amp;u=https%3A%2F%2Fbrochures.volvotrucks.com%2Fhq%2Fproduct-guides%2Felectromobility-en-en%2F&amp;a=the+Volvo+FL+Electric+and+Volvo+FE+Electric+trucks\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">the Volvo FL Electric and Volvo FE Electric trucks<\/a>\u00a0for city distribution are in serial production.
