The Rhenus Group has been actively shaping the change towards alternative drives within the logistics industry for over 15 years. Today, Rhenus already owns one of the largest e-truck fleets and will also be on the road with hydrogen-powered trucks from 2024 as a field test partner of MAN Truck & Bus.
‘The main advantage of a hydrogen drive over the battery-powered electric truck is clearly the longer range,’ explains Sascha Hähnke, Managing Director of Rhenus Transport. ‘Furthermore, purely battery-electric drives cannot entirely replace diesel trucks simply because of the expected overloads of the power grids due to voltage peaks. In my opinion, we won’t have to opt for a single drive technology in the future but will continue to use several sustainable technologies in various deployment scenarios.’
