In addition, the truck is equipped with a nitrogen-cooled semitrailer and thus represents a climate-friendly transport solution for temperature-sensitive goods. “Sustainable mobility is the key of our strategy and this collaboration with LC3 Trasporti and Lidl Italia is a concrete example of how we can make a difference. Our eActros 600 is a revolutionary vehicle that marks an important step in the future of logistics, and we are excited to see it in action at Lidl Italia”, said Maurizio Pompei, CEO of Daimler Truck Italia.
Luca Ros, Logistics Director at Lidl Italia, commented: “Logistics is a crucial part of our business and making it more sustainable is a must. For this reason, we have been embarking on a journey of gradual decarbonization of transport for years, which is also achieved through the choice of more sustainable means of transport. It is therefore an honor to be the first to use the new all-electric tractor unit in long-haul transport. A big thanks to our partners Daimler Truck Italia and LC3, both driven by our same sustainability values.”
“We are very proud to have achieved this new milestone once again with two great partners, such as LIDL and Daimler Truck Italia. Building on these synergies, for over 15 years, we have been tracing a new path for sustainable transport, opening innovations aimed at reducing our environmental impact and harmful emissions more and more overtime, while increasingly meeting the needs of the environment and the most virtuous customers”, added Michele Ambrogi, Operations Director of LC3 Trasporti.
