Electromobility made easy. Electric trucks are here.

2018-04-12
There is a huge interest for electric trucks on the market and curiosity to understand more about the possibilities of this new electrified technology and its practical use in everyday business. Shifting to electromobility will make cargo transportation quieter, cleaner and more sustainable. The transition towards a new, more sustainable transport society involves new consideration and also new opportunities.
