Dutch operator Bidfood Netherlands is progressively integrating Renault Trucks electric vehicles into its fleet. The company is already working with 25 electric vehicles provided by the French manufacturer. Now, 25 more e-trucks will be added to the fleet. The new trucks will be delivered by the end of the current year.

Additionally, during a recent delivery to its Dutch customer, Renault Trucks reached a symbolic milestone: the production of its 2,000th electric truck at its Blainville-sur-Orne factory.

Statements from Renault Trucks and the customer on the addition of electric trucks

“For three years, we have worked closely with Bidfood to integrate electric vehicles into their fleet and address the operational challenges of their logistics,” explained Jérôme Berthelet, Managing Director of Renault Trucks Netherlands. “This collaboration has enabled us to develop customised solutions aligned with their constraints and decarbonisation ambitions.”

Dick Slootweg, Managing Director of Bidfood Netherlands, describes this transition as a concrete response to environmental challenges: “These tangible results show that electromobility is not a distant ambition but an operational and effective reality. It allows us to reduce our environmental footprint while meeting our customers’ growing expectations for sustainability.”
