Milence Electric Tour started on April 15 from Paris. Five trucks and 1,000 km to reach Berlin
The so-called Power to Go Further Tour will cover a 1,000 km journey from Paris to Berlin using battery-electric heavy-duty trucks and charging exclusively at Milence hubs in Saint-Witz (FR), Ghent (BE), Maasmechelen (BE), Zwolle (NL), Mogendorf (DE), Kassel-Lohfelden (DE) and Vockerode (DE) while showcasing one of Europe’s first fully operational clean transport corridors.
Milence has launched a cross-border initiative together with key industry stakeholders to demonstrate that electric road freight is an operational and economically viable reality for Europe. Here’s our post about the tour, while here you can read a long interview with Milence Head of Southern Europe, Alexandre Hélibert.
Indeed, the so-called Power to Go Further Tour will cover a 1,000 km journey from Paris to Berlin using battery-electric heavy-duty trucks and charging exclusively at Milence hubs in Saint-Witz (FR), Ghent (BE), Maasmechelen (BE), Zwolle (NL), Mogendorf (DE), Kassel-Lohfelden (DE) and Vockerode (DE) while showcasing one of Europe’s first fully operational clean transport corridors. Six of these hubs are co-funded by the European Union under the Alternative Fuels Infrastructure Facility (AFIF) call.
Milence Electric Tour across Central Europe
With 33 operational charging hubs across eight countries, key electric routes connecting major logistics hubs are already emerging, including Paris–Amsterdam, Barcelona–Lyon–Paris, Antwerp–Stockholm, and Berlin–Stuttgart, making sustainable long-distance road transport possible.
“The Power to Go Further Tour marks a milestone for Milence and for Europe’s energy transition. It demonstrates the impressive progress of electric road transport towards sustainable operations. Paris–Berlin is just one of many clean transport corridors that can already be operated fully electric and economically viable across Europe,” Anja van Niersen, CEO Milence said at the start of the journey in Paris. Electric road transport is clearly becoming a reality. Charging infrastructure is developing in line with market demand, and electrification is increasingly driven by strong economics while supporting Europe’s energy resilience and strategic autonomy. Collaboration between industry and policymakers is essential to accelerate progress and turn today’s challenges into a strategic economic opportunity.”
