Belgian logistics player EUTRACO to purchase 50 Mercedes eActros 600, starting next year
Currently, EUTRACO operates 160 diesel vehicles, transporting various goods between customers and its own or external warehouses across the Benelux and France. "We have made a fundamental decision to fully commit to the sustainability of our fleet. Sustainable transport with electric trucks is indeed possible at the same cost as diesel trucks," said Eutraco CEO Serge Gregoir.
Belgian logistics player EUTRACO will replace one third of its heavy-duty fleet by purchasing a total of 50 Mercedes eActros 600 from 2025. This represents an investment of 14 million euros. EUTRACO will be the first logistics player in Belgium to have such a large fleet of electric trucks.
“We have made a fundamental decision to fully commit to the sustainability of our fleet. Sustainable transport with electric trucks is indeed possible at the same cost as diesel trucks,” said Eutraco CEO Serge Gregoir.
EUTRACO to rely on Mercedes-Benz electric trucks
Currently, EUTRACO operates 160 diesel vehicles, transporting various goods between customers and its own or external warehouses across the Benelux and France. By the end of 2025, the first of the 50 electric trucks will be delivered by Ghistelinck Autobedrijven.
“It is a clear strategic choice for us to fully embrace sustainable transport. Unlike hydrogen-powered trucks, electric trucks are already technologically advanced. They have a range of 500 km and can be charged quickly, which fits perfectly within our core activities,” added Serge Gregoir.
