Charging park for e-trucks officially open in Wörth. Six stations available for inbound logistics vehicles
Mercedes-Benz Trucks is also focusing on electric trucks in its own supply chain and aims to electrify 100 percent of delivery traffic into the largest truck plant by the end of 2026. Since the start of the project, 20 percent of the deliveries of production materials ordered directly by Daimler Truck have already been electrified.
The Mercedes-Benz Trucks headquarters in Wörth are now equipped with a brand-new charging park for e-trucks. The site will be used mainly for inbound logistics electric vehicles. Mercedes considers the construction of the fast-charging park at the Wörth site as “an important milestone in the further electrification of road freight transport”.
An actual charging part in Wörth
Mercedes-Benz Trucks is also focusing on electric trucks in its own supply chain and aims to electrify 100 percent of delivery traffic into the largest truck plant by the end of 2026. Since the start of the project, 20 percent of the deliveries of production materials ordered directly by Daimler Truck have already been electrified.
This is a further example of the Daimler Truck brand’s TruckCharge offering, which covers topics such as consulting, infrastructure and operation relating to e-infrastructure and the charging of electric trucks.
In view of megawatt charging
Eight charging points have already been installed and put into operation on the factory premises in Wörth. This offer is now being supplemented by the new fast-charging park with six additional charging stations, with the option of adding two more charging stations that meet the requirements for future megawatt charging needs.
“Of the eight planned TruckCharge charging stations, six 400 kW fast-charging stations will go into operation immediately and will supply trucks with electricity while they are parked in the truck waiting area. Further charging stations are planned at key points for delivery traffic in the immediate vicinity of production at the Wörth plant. The charging process can therefore take place during loading and unloading, allowing us to deliver goods to the plant as efficiently as possible”, stated Andreas Bachhofer, Head of the Wörth site and Mercedes-Benz Trucks Production.
“For the town of Wörth am Rhein, this fast-charging park sends out a signal. While for many citizens, refueling new vehicles with diesel fuel from the plant has been a familiar sight around our filling stations for years, the ‘refueling process’ is now increasingly being shifted to the plant in the age of electromobility”, added Steffen Weiß, Mayor of the town of Wörth.
